Fully restored in 2000 and collector kept since!! Act fast on this
one!
Without question, the turning point for Corvette came about in the
sports car scene when the 2nd generation was introduced in 1963. A
revised chassis brought about a 4-wheel independent suspension, and
as the years progressed; larger wheels were introduced, larger big
block motors, and 4-wheel disc brakes! Amenities like power
steering, air conditioning, and leather seats didn't hurt sales
either with more buyers ready to park one in their garage! These
cars are arguably the most coveted of Corvettes among collectors
worldwide!
We are delighted to have the opportunity to offer this 1966
Corvette Convertible finished in Tuxedo Black (originally code 988-
Milano Maroon) over Black Leather interior (factory coded STD.-
Black Vinyl). Options on this example include original & numbers
matching HT-code 327ci/350 horsepower V8 engine mated to a Muncie
4-speed wide ratio transmission, and AM-code 3.36 Posi-Traction
rear end! All major components remain date code correct or numbers
matching including Winters aluminum intake, Holley 585cfm
carburetor, double-hump heads, radiator overflow tank, correct
valve covers, and more! The only exception would be the 1967
date-coded transmission, likely a warranty replacement as it bears
no VIN identifier. Other features include aluminum knock-off
wheels, side exit exhaust system, carpeted floor mats, faux wood
steering wheel, working push-button AM/FM radio, power steering,
power brakes, auxiliary harp top, 1" radial whitewall tires, and
telescoping steering wheel. It was last fully restored in 2000, and
has been cosmetically and mechanically maintained on an as-needed
basis over the years.
The lacquer finish shows well with a few superficial cracks in
common areas of the body from age. It should also be noted that
some areas around the gas filler, cowl vent, and hood have paint
lifting or bubbling. It is otherwise an overall very straight, no
hit body. It runs and drives excellently and has been carefully
maintained by its former California owner of 2 years. Recent
servicing between January 2019 and July 2021 includes new brake
master cylinder & brake fluid, new front & rear sway bar links,
front outer tie-rods, front sway bar bushings, new clutch kit,
clutch pedal bushings, fresh engine oil/filter, air filter, and
engine temperature sender. The previous owner also enjoyed hearing
his audio system, so the factory system was left alone in the dash,
and a new Jensen AM/FM/CD/Aux head unit was discreetly installed in
the glovebox along with some speaker boxes and small subwoofer
behind the front seats. It is a nice way to hear your favorite
tunes over the side exhaust while the top is down!
Always stored in a climate-controlled environment, and never driven
in inclement weather, it makes for an excellent collection piece!
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a beautiful, number's
matching Corvette in a very favored color combination! We encourage
all prospective buyers to visit our showroom to see this car in
person! And, as always, you are welcome to call with any questions!
Thanks for looking!
