Paul Bridges’ 1966 Corvette Stingray
It’s hard to find a more original Corvette than Paul Bridges’ Stingray. Awarded an NCRS Survivor Award for originality, it’s covered just 44,000 miles. While it runs and drives to an extent, it’s far from concours. But then again, it’s never even had paint. ‘A couple of years ago I bought a restoration project 1965 Stingray convertible driven by the need for an eight-cylinder soundtrack...which I built, ran for a year, took to Classic Le Mans and then sold. When the chance arose to purchase this silver car with all its history and originality...I did.’ The National Corvette Restoration Society are recommending NOT to restore the car as it is of historical significance.
