Vehicle Description
A big-block, stick-shift 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible like
this is exactly what classic car dreams are made of. After all,
this restored drop top has a distinct color combo, an aggressive
appearance, and it's ultra-desirable 427 V8 is original.
A stinger hood, knock-off wheel hubs, and side exhaust tips - this
is everything that lets people know a premium and powerful C2 has
arrived. And what really has us hooked is the factory-correct code
986 Silver Pearl color. It gives this one an instant distinction
over the more popular colors of the year like red and blue. The was
reapplied during restoration a few years ago. The result today is
the kind of shine that instantly reminds you of quality, while it
also doesn't make you nervous to take this one out on the road and
enjoy it properly. In fact, when we get into the mechanical details
in a moment, you'll see this truly a great one for driving.
While the black folding roof looks great against the silver paint,
we know you're going to have it down every opportunity you can.
That's because the full silver interior makes this lightweight
fiberglass sports car look like it was 100% forged from precious
metal. Corvettes are about being performance machines that keep the
driver comfortable and in control. That's why your left hand rests
on the three-spoke wood-grained steering wheel, and your right one
falls perfectly onto the gearshift. Because the interior received
attention and investment during the restoration, too, you don't
have to worry about the instruments.
When you lift the hood, this one trades it's prestigious silver for
some aggressive color. That's exactly what you want when staring
down a big block engine bay. The brazen Chevy orange is both
correct and aggressive on this 427 cubic-inch V8, and it still has
room for flair with the polished air topper and distributor shield.
This numbers-matching L36 motor was rated at 390 horsepower from
the factory, so you know it's powerful. Plus, the way this original
motor runs and drives really is a clue to the great respect its
received over the decades. It all goes towards the feeling that
this is a great driver's classic. So you'll love the growl of the
side pipes, and the full control that comes from the Muncie M21
close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. Plus, the four-wheel
disc brakes and fully independent suspension mean this vintage
'Vette is still a ton of fun on the road.
Not only is this a restored classic that has the right pedigree,
but also it's a powerful and fun road machine. That makes it the
ideal total package for someone who demands distinction. If that's
you, don't miss this rare opportunity. Call now!
