BODY OVERVIEW:
This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible showcases the iconic curves and muscular stance that made it a legend! Having been carefully and completely restored, imperfections in the body are at an extreme minimum. The body is in excellent condition, reflecting a well-preserved piece of automotive history with tasteful modern upgrades.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Painted in its original Nassau blue, this beauty gleams under the sun and turns heads at every corner. The Nassau blue paint is as vibrant and striking as it was when it left the factory in 1966–maybe even more so! The finish is smooth and glossy, highlighting the car's classic lines and timeless appeal; this is no Earl Scheib paint job. This Corvette looks fantastic, and imperfections are at a minimum. The pictures speak for themselves!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Step inside, and you're greeted by a luxurious blue leather interior, a tasteful upgrade from the original blue vinyl. The teak steering wheel adds a touch of coveted elegance, while the retro-look modern stereo seamlessly blends classic style with contemporary convenience. The cabin is in superb condition, reflecting the car's meticulous care and attention to detail. As seen in the photos, the horn button center is missing and there is some normal creasing in the seats.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood lies the heart of this Corvette—a powerful 327ci V8 engine, paired with a modern Tremec 5-speed manual transmission for an exhilarating driving experience. The electronic ignition ensures reliable starts, while the posi-traction rear end with 3.73 gears delivers exceptional open road performance. Power steering, power brakes, and aftermarket air conditioning enhance comfort and drivability, making this classic car as enjoyable to drive as it is to look at! Last but not least, the sidepipe exhaust gives this puppy a hearty growl that cannot be mistaken for anything short of a classic Corvette Stingray. This car drives beautifully and is an absolute pleasure to pilot!
