Offered here is the holy grail of classic Corvettes. The 1966
Chevrolet Corvette 427 Coupe was the fasted production car produced
in the muscle car era. From the factory, it ran the quarter mile in
12.8 seconds at 112mph with a top speed of 130mph. Those ground
breaking numbers combined with the breathtaking mid-year body
lines, makes this second generation Stingray one of the most
desirable Corvettes of all time. This is a numbers matching L72
427ci/425hp 4-Speed car in nearly mint condition. Our client and
current owner of the car owns and operates a well-know West
Michigan service and restoration shop. This is his personal car and
he purchased it in 2004 because it was so right. The car is
originally from Kentucky and came to Michigan in the 1990's,
purchased by the owner of Caledonia Corvette. In the late 1990's,
the car was given a no-expense spared frame-off restoration in
Caledonia Corvette's body shop. It was painted in the original 988
Milano Maroon in a basecoat/clearcoat. At the same time, the motor
and transmission were completely rebuilt and blueprinted. The car
remains highly original, except for the rear gears being converted
to 3.55 for an easier drive, braided brake hoses, and a Hurst
Competition Plus shifter replaced the original and problematic
Muncie. The seats were professionally covered in variegated OEM
seat covers, which you cannot find today and the correct teak wood
steering wheel. The door panels are from Al Knoch Corvette
interiors, one of the best in the business. The car has the
original air cleaner, original carpet, original seat belts, and
original date code correct steel wheels with original hubcaps with
raised white letter radials that can be purchased with the car.
Everything on the car works, including the power antenna and clock.
The car has been thoroughly gone through by one of the best in the
area and it commands every dollar of the price we are asking here.
