Now for sale in our Houston showroom is one pampered and
meticulously maintained 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from
the collection of a private Texas collector. This example is
pristine with its correct Rally Red paint scheme (1 of only 3,336
red vehicles), white soft top, black leather interior and original
owner's manual in the glove box. Importantly, all numbers match and
are original to the car (e.g., engine, chassis, frame, glass,
etc.). Powering this beauty down the road is its original L-79 327
CID V8 that puts out 350HP & is paired to the original 4-speed
manual transmission that shifts smoothly throughout all the gears
along with the Posi-Trac rear end. Both the engine & trans have
been professionally rebuilt with less than 19k miles on them. The
interior is in excellent condition as well making this car a real
pleasure to drive. All options on this car work as they should and
overall the car shows extremely well. This would make a very nice
addition to any enthusiast or collector. This Corvette was NCRS
Flight Judged at the rigorous 2016 NCRS Lone Star Regional (October
2016, Frisco, Texas) and received 81. Points (against strict 1966
factory originality) overall from the 4 separate NCRS Judging
Teams. Deductions were for being "over restored" (i.e., the paint
is far too nice for 1966) or containing options added after
dealership sale (e.g., AC, side-mount exhaust, leather interior).
In October 2015, this Corvette also won "Best in Class" at the Sam
Houston Corvette Club Show (The Woodlands, Texas). The vehicle was
professionally restored in 2012 and has casual road time since
then. A photograph book depicting the restoration is included with
the sale as are extensive receipts from over the years. This car is
equipped with options such as the side-mount exhaust, AC, teakwood
steering wheel, knock-off wheels, power steering, & seat belts.
