Slash 1966 Chevy Corvette Stingray Coupe

GUNS N' ROSES | SLASH 1966 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY COUPE

An original 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray that was personally owned and driven by Slash.

The vehicle is equipped with a 7.0 liter 427 big block engine that is mated to a four-speed Muncie manual transmission, producing 390 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The odometer on this vehicle reads 35,164 miles, although it is unknown whether this reflects the true mileage. As indicated by the vehicle's VIN number, the Corvette was built at the St. Louis, Missouri assembly plant, and was number 5,155 built in the year 1966.

The vehicle has been mildly customized to more closely resemble a 1967 Corvette Stingray with the addition of Chevy's rally wheels with centercaps, and the addition of a fiberglass "stinger" hood that features a classic red stripe and hood scoop. Another noticeable change is the addition of a third taillight on either side of the back of the Corvette.

Slash also added dark tinting to the windows of the Corvette. In a Car Stereo Review article, he mentions, "One time I got stopped at a stoplight, and I heard somebody go, 'Hey dude!' And that gives you a fuckin' jolt right? So I turn around and there are these dudes in a 4 x 4, giving me the longhorns.... I've finally stopped paying attention to the people around me, especially now that I got tinted windows."
