Triple Six Corvette

1966 Corvette.
Serialnumber 6.
Pilot-Car.

1966 Corvette Stingray convertible. NCRS confirmed pilot-car. All matching numbers. Probably the first 327 convertible ever produced in „Laguna Blue“. 

The car has been arround Denver for the past 40 years. Currently looking for more previous owners to complete the history. Located in Stuttgart, Germany since May 2020.
