Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette is a numbers-matching, air-conditioned
stunner. The second generation (C2) is arguably the most desirable
coupe body, and when it's this bright and sounds this good, it
makes for a classic that creates envy at every stoplight.
Red Corvettes are always in fashion, but the gloss of the
factory-correct 988 code Milano Maroon gives this coupe an upscale
appearance that sets it apart. In fact, the whole presentation
really has a nice feeling of a well-respected life. Averaging only
around 1,200 miles annually, this retains all its original panels,
and they continue to line up sharply. It's great, right down to the
details like the mirror shine of the chrome bumpers and the
headlight doors fitting flush to the body. Plus, this has some
great performance minded upgrades, including the addition of the
stinger hood to the growling side pipes. So it has the right
intimidating first impression a good Corvette should always
make.
The black paint on the hood is not only a distinctive touch, but
also a preview of the color inside. The C2 interior is always a
favorite in classic car circles. The dual cowl design of the dash
is sporty and iconic. A woodgrained 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. And
yes, even the clock works! This one even has power windows, which
goes nicely with the upgraded R134a air conditioning. That way you
can easily power down the windows and enjoy the breezes of the open
road without breaking a sweat.
Under the hood is a great looking numbers-matching small-block V8
that has the right amount of chrome and Chevy Orange to really pop
in the engine bay. You can tell there has been a lot of money spent
in new components and maintenance keeping this one beautiful.
Topped with a correct Holley four-barrel carburetor, this 327
cubic-inch engine was rated at a robust 300 horsepower. The
fully-independent sports suspension makes the Sting Ray one of the
best handlers from the era. Plus, this one really is built for
grand touring comfort with power steering, a Powerglide automatic
transmission, and power brakes featuring discs at all four corners.
There's even an upgrade to an aluminum radiator so this one remains
cool even when you're idling with the A/C running.
Complete with owner's manual, maintenance receipts, and title
documentation, you already know numbers matching C2 Corvettes are
always in demand. This one also just happens to have the right
factory correct colors in a well-maintained package. So where you
see value, the rest of the world will just see a beautiful maroon
American icon. Call today!!!
