After driven the car infrequently for many years, the second owner took the car to a well known body shop and the car was totally stripped to bare fiberglass and repainted. The engine was removed from the car so it could be cleaned and detailed as was the engine compartment. All rubber items around the doors and door jams was replaced as was the bumpers and all the chrome trim. The owner had the body shop add a 3rd tail light at the time as that was his preference and a popular modification in past years. After the car was done the owner finally decided it was too nice for him to drive, so he covered it and stored it in his garage for several years before selling it to the 3rd owner which was a cousin to the 2nd owner. The 3rd owner bought the car in 2002. He replaced the original valve stem seals, and the valve springs, which he felt was necessary, since the car had been drove very little in the past years!! he also removed the transmission and replaced the original clutch with a new Centerforce clutch. He cleaned the bellhousing and transmission and painted them clearcoat lacquer at this time. According to the Corvette Black Book the car with vin# 106780 was built in late Nov 1965.
