It seems moisture may have entered through the rubber boot area?

I love this Excellent Unrestored ‘66 Vette, just curious.

Thanks.

Very normal. I suspect it has to do with trapped humidity / condensation in the top of the trans tunnel.

----What you are seeing in these pics is a very massaged low mile car. When it came thru Classic Motors it was in dire need of a major cleanup. It was stored under less than good conditions. I mentioned the cast iron pipe exhaust in my other post, and that wasn't the only thing needing replacement. I won't say how the paint was massaged, but will just say there has been a lot of work done on the paint over the years. The interior still managed to be brought back to new, but the aluminum console plate was kept original and it looks like minor corrosion is creeping in from the edges. It happens....Bill S

It was in nice condition that needed Service, Detailed and a good home.

Not anymore.
One more Original Muscle Car does not exist now …. very sad.

Curses on whom ever did that....another case of right car, wrong owner.
