1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe For Sale - Bloomington Gold And NCRS
Top-Flight 2018 LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1966
Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Even after Chevrolet reimagined the
Corvette as a muscular big-block-powered brute in 1965, buyers
still favored the 327 CI small-block V-8 in its various states of
tune, accounting for almost 91 percent of sales. Taking advantage
of improvements in cylinder head and cam design, the base 250 HP
small-block engine was dropped, making the formerly optional L75
327/300 HP engine standard equipment for 1966. Even better, the
Corvette had gained well-designed all-wheel disc brakes that were a
giant leap forward over the former drum brakes, which Zora
Arkus-Duntov rightly believed had been developed to their fullest
potential. Exterior changes by this point in the Corvette's
evolution were mostly predictable. The front grille insert was
replaced with a plated, square mesh piece; a new vertical chromed
Corvette script was added to the leading edge of the hood, and new
lower sill trim panels featured extra ribbing. Backup lights became
standard equipment and were integrated into the inner two
taillights. This very rare and unique 1966 Corvette Coupe was
produced on July 8th, 1966 and originally delivered to Central
Chevrolet as confirmed by the General Motors Documentation. It was
ordered in the ultra-rare and desirable code 900 Tuxedo Black Paint
of which only 4f cars that year were produced. Add code 402 Black
leather interior you have one of only a handful built in the most
desirable color combination. The interior itself is largely
original and in outstanding condition. It is powered by the
matching number 327/300 horsepower engine and backed by a
Powerglide automatic transmission. Loaded with options including
the very rare and desirable factory four-season air conditioning,
power brakes, power steering, power windows, telescopic steering
column, leather seats,tinted glass, posi-traction rear axle, AM/FM
radio and White line bias ply tires. Due to its high level of
correctness, this Corvette has gone on to win both Bloomington Gold
and NCRS Top-Flight Awards in 2018. Accompanying this beautiful
example is the GM of Canada documentation, Bloomington Gold judging
sheets, NCRS judging sheets, '66 Corvette Owner's Manual, AM/FM
Radio Operating Instruction Booklet, and Warranty Booklet. With the
combination of options and desirable color combination make this
'66 Corvette Coupe a very rare, unique and extremely desirable
example. Additional Details: 1966 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY COUPE
