Vehicle description
This car has complete and pristine chrome bumpers, factory wheels, and all the right badging & trim. (Currently it has retro aftermarket wheels and radial tires but also comes with all four factory wheels, factory original wheel covers, and factory-correct gold-stripe bias-ply tires that have a nice period-correct appearance but a more modern tread.) This rare, gorgeous 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible carries its original, numbers matching, 327/300 hp engine, which gives it better balance and the best handling of the corvette lineup. This car is a certified National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) top flight winner! Factory built with the rare Powerglide transmission option (Only 2,400 cars out of 27,000 sold that year came with the optional Powerglide automatic transmission; that"s only 8% of corvettes that year!) Code 988 Milano Maroon is this car"s original color, and it"s a great look on a Stingray ragtop. Unlike bright red, it has a grown-up appearance that makes the Corvette"s instantly recognizable curves feel a bit European. The paint has a nice luster thanks to a professional respray of the factory-correct color.

(Currently it has retro aftermarket wheels and radial tires but also comes with all four factory wheels, factory original wheel covers, and factory-correct gold-stripe bias-ply tires that have a nice period-correct appearance but a more modern tread.) The "66 cars have a reputation for a better build quality, and that continues to today on this convertible. Just look at the panel alignment and feel how the doors shut with authority. That sensation has remained thanks to decades of good care and maintenance.
Inside, the black interior is the perfect color combination on this car, especially since everything keeps its deep black sun-free appearance right down to the comfy bucket seats. The C2 interior is always a favorite in classic car circles. The now-iconic dual cowl design is as much a part of the motoring experience as the purr of the engine or rumble of the exhaust. An optional wood grained steering wheel feels great, transmitting the front tires" activities directly to your fingertips, and all the gauges show crisp markings that let you keep an eye on the engine"s status. A factory AM/FM radio lives in the center stack, showing off its unique vertical orientation. This is a true wind-in-your-hair sports car. But for those few times you"re caught out in the rain, the white folding vinyl top has a snug fit to keep the drive home secure.
Complete, numbers matching, only 2,300 miles since restoration. very clean near perfect shape!
The original, numbers matching 327 cubic-inch V8 looks great and presents well with a tidy engine bay that features the correct details like the Chevy orange paint on the block, ram"s horn exhaust, and the bright distributor shield and air cleaner. More importantly, it runs superbly thanks to a rebuild less than 2,500 miles ago. It gets some extra power from a Holley electric choke four-barrel carburetor, and you"ll love the growl of the dual exhaust. On the road this small-block is the ideal companion for cruising, especially when paired with the Powerglide automatic transmission, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. (Included in the sale is, Premium Flannel custom car cover, the original Ignition distributor and power steering lines, extra floor mats, etc.)
