Hi guys,

I'm from overseas, my boss requested me to invistigate this issue for him ...

He is looking for top notch stingray corvette (budget is not an issue) .... similar to those we see in tv car shows/auctions or movies ....

I'm not sure which exact models are those and where we can get them from ....

I adviced him that the only source could be the US ....

so guys can some body put me in the right direction ??

You might try one of the major auctions. Before commiting to a purchase you should educate yourself as to what adds value and retains value in these cars. Also what to look for in terms of condition when buying. You might even want to consider having a professional inspect the vehicle and provide you with a written report and appraisal. Just do a Google search for auto appraisal and find one that specializes in vintage and classic cars.

I'd be calling Stan if money wasn't an issue, you know what your getting when he builds you a car.

Check out his website.

are you looking for "sting ray" or "stingray". there is a couple years difference in the choice. "sting ray" being before 68, "stingray" being after... just to clarify.

Hi Q,
Where 'overseas' are you? If you're in Europe there are NCRS Chapters in England and the Netherlands. They would certainly be worth contacting to learn more about "Stingrays?
Posting a picture of the type of car you looking for would help people point you in the right direction. Many people's ideas of what a Stingray is vary a great deal.
Regards,
Alan

PS: A little info in your profile might be a good idea, too.
