Vehicle Description
Meticulously restored, a terrific color combo, loaded with
features, four-on-the-floor, and the numbers-matching V8 - you can
dig into all the details on this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, but you
already know it's an outstanding classic coupe.
Sunfire yellow was only offered for a couple of years, but it seems
to capture the era perfectly. That's especially true on a Sting Ray
like this that went through a thorough restoration. It gives this
factory-correct color an extra radiance that comes from a modern
clearcoat - so you know this bright color looks great out in the
sunshine. And they spent a lot of time on the details, too. This
includes making sure the two-piece bumpers shine like mirrors; the
headlight doors fit flush; and the panels uphold the crisp crease
that encircles the C2's body. It's no wonder this received the NCRS
"327 Concours Award" in 2017 in the recently added Modified
Division. Plus, this has some great performance minded-features
like the knock off wheel hubs and growling side pipes. And that
upgraded stinger hood has a bold black insert that looks terrific
against the yellow.
The black paint on the hood is not only a distinctive touch, but
also a preview of the highly demanded Al Knoch interior. You can
tell there was more of the right investments inside by the way the
carpets feel fresh, the panels are crisp, and the leather bucket
seats are plush. And it all has a sleek/dark appearance that you
want in a true sports car. The darkness is broken up by the best in
driving features, like the woodgrained steering wheel, crisp dials
on the large speedo and tach, and the polished gearstick is like a
beacon calling out to your right hand. Plus, this one has just
about every option available in 66', like power windows, telescopic
wheel, factory air conditioning, and upgraded headrests.
Under the hood is the original, numbers matching 327 cubic inch V8.
It has a show-ready presentation with the Corvette script valve
covers, a bright air topper w/callouts, and correct distributor
shield. This is the optional L79 motor, and it looks correct, right
down to the Holley four-barrel carburetor on top. The V8 exhales
with authority out of those side pipes, and you get full control
over the power and the thunder thanks to the year-correct
four-speed manual transmission. So as much as this restored coupe
is a looker, you're also going to enjoy it on the open road. After
all, with power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and a
fully-independent sports suspension, this is the classic that
really knows how to deliver on of the best vintage sports car
feelings around.
The sale comes complete with title documentation, owner's manual,
NCRS docs, and build receipts. It's the coupe that was built with
the right features, and restored the way you want it. So don't miss
out, call today!
