Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette keeps the iconic C2 silhouette, but it
has a modern LS6 engine with a supercharger on top. Plus, take the
time to look over the sleek paint, upgraded A/C interior,
five-speed transmission, and custom details. It really is a
restomod that delivers iconic looks with a ton of modern
performance.
This Sting Ray gives very few hints at the modern car that lies
beneath the surface. Instead its first impression just looks like
an exceptionally restored 'Vette. It has crisp bodywork, beautiful
chrome, and panels that look like someone sweated the details. But
then you start to notice a little more. Chevrolet offered a maroon
in '66, but it never had this kind of luster. Instead, this is
borrowed from a more modern Cadillac palette, and that means an
awesome pearlescent glow of a premium car that loves to radiate in
the sunshine. And since everyone love a big block hood, they
upgraded it to the later and more desirable Stinger painted in
black. And while most people point out the side pipes when they
look at a Corvette's profile, this one has such an aggressive
stance with the larger and meatier rear tires. So you know that's
what's really going to get them talking.
The interior is also about appearing original with subtle upgrades.
It starts with an attractive saddle tan from the masters at Al
Knoch interiors. It instantly gives this one the atmosphere of
fresh, clean, and premium. You'll love more attention to detail,
including the upgraded AM/FM receiver nicely hidden in the
glovebox. There's even cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. And
have you counted the gears on the Hurst shifter's pattern yet?
Under the hood is a modern 5.7-liter LS6 crate motor. While that's
enough of an upgrade for most people, this one also has a Magnusson
2300 Intercooled supercharger on top! Despite being a serious
upgrade, it was done with such care that it almost looks like they
put this modern heart in this '66 on day one. It also has upgraded
supporting components, including polyurethane mounts, heavy duty
U-joints, and an aluminum radiator and electric fan. It creates a
solid kind of package that makes this restomod drive like a factory
car. The side pipes give this a terrific sound, and you're in
complete control over all this power and thunderous soundtrack
thanks to the Tremec five-speed manual transmission. And when it
comes time to enjoy the power to the fullest, the 3.73 Positraction
rear end delivers all-around confident driving. These C2s were
already great to drive with the fully independent sports
suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes, and the
undercharge photos show this was only made better by the quality
restoration.
Complete with build receipts, this is an awesome restomod that will
put you in the center of all the action. This is a tempting and
unique C2, and you're not the only one who thinks that way. Don't
miss your chance, call today!
