My 60 Vette came with the 283/270, 4-speed, 3.70 posi., it had a heater, visors and both tops and nothing else. It does not have or ever had emergency brake warning light, courtesy light, rear reflectors or windshield washers. It did not come with a radio, but I added that, I've had it 37 years and can trace it back to day 1.

Well, using your criteria of features "Original to your car which are different from other Corvettes", I guess my 1962 could marginally qualify on a couple of counts . . . as a Fawn Beige car, it's one of only 1851 out of a total 14,531 Corvettes produced that year Further, as an original 2-top car with a Fawn Beige interior, it becomes one of even fewer . . . but the fact that it is one of the 299 non-positraction equipped 1962 Corvettes on top of that must make it pretty unusual.
Of course, the reality is that Corvettes could be (and were) equipped with so many different combinations of options and equipment that it would likely be more unusual to find two identically equipped cars than to find cars with differences. Mine is a 300 hp 4-speed, and there's certainly nothing unusual about that . . . and I've seen a few other Fawn Beige/Fawn Beige 2-top cars here and there, although not very often. I certainly don't claim my car as being unique, but it is different enough to be interesting - and the color is always a comment-getter at car shows.

Be that as it may, I still drive it almost everyday and still make the 16+ hour trip to New York in it and enjoy living in yesteryear.

It was sold new painted Riverside Gold, Tail painted black as they did on their hot models, had Cal Custom engine air cleaner and valve covers, scattershield, M22, and J-56, Hooker Race Headers, American Racing rims!

Being a power glide and Sebring Silver would be a plus

My 66 coupe is a little odd. The guy I bought it off of ordered it with a 4 speed, 300 hp and just about nothing else except head rests. I was told at Carlisle by Kevin MacKay it's 1 of 15 maroon/saddle coupes with headrests in 66 and 1 of those 15 was Steve McQueens although his was a big block, but still pretty cool.

'65 coupe. zero factory options. zero. No deletes.
One of very, very few, I'm sure.
Disregard the side pipes. I added them in 1972. Same with the radio antenna. That was first owner add from OTC Chevrolet radio kit.
