This is the last lot I will present of the Auburn Sale (Indiana, US) in June. RM Sotheby's is going to auction this stunning 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 427/390 Convertible for about US$ 90,000.

Well done @alexs1320... As this post generated 3 SP, I'll transfer you 3 STEEM.
I'll still follow the auction's result. Just by curiosity.
History of the Corvette Sting Ray
The Corvette Sting Ray, also known Corvette C2, is the second generation of the Chevrolet sports car produced between 1963 and 1967.
This generation was designed by Larry Shinoda, American automotive designer known for the Sting Ray and the Ford Mustang, on the direction of Bill Mitchell, huge influence on General Motors. 1967 is the last year of Corvette Sting Ray C2, the most refined.
