Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette is the kind of classic you want when
you are looking for a fun total package. A recently rebuilt
transmission, newer clutch, and upgraded suspension make for a good
pairing with solid V8 power. And with everything from air
conditioning to a Bluetooth radio inside they made the right
investments to create one of the best all-around enjoyable Sting
Rays out there.
Milano Maroon is a terrific factory-correct color to have on a
Corvette. After all, it looks like someone combined the boldness of
red, but the darker tone makes upgrades like the black trim stinger
hood look even more harmonious. And this one really captures the
best speedy style of its era with the knock-off style wheels,
redline tires, and growling side pipes. And more than just a
powerful sense of style, everything from the chrome on the bumpers
to the way the panels fit gives this a quality feel. If you were
looking for a Concours car, you would be putting some effort into
details on the finish and trim. But that would also be missing the
point of this Sting Ray. It's the kind of car that looks awesome to
the casual enthusiast, and as you look through the details, the
heart of the investment is about making it a more comfortable and
confident driver. So it's the kind of car that you're going to
readily take for a night out on the town, and love how everyone
will ask for you to park it up front.
The black interior is clean, complete, and very inviting. There's a
feeling of sturdiness and quality that's at the heart of a car that
has been invested in or more than pure glamor, which makes it a
solid cruiser. So do upgrades like R134a air conditioning and a
retro-style AM/FM radio now with Bluetooth. And there's just
something that gets your enthusiast's heart pumping the moment you
sit down in the low-back bucket seat. The wood-rimmed steering
wheel, polished shifter, and crisp dials on the large speedo and
tach all seem to feed that little voice in your head that says,
"let's go for a drive."
Under the hood is a tidy 327 cubic inch V8. It's built to have a
clean and classic look with the Corvette script valve covers, a
bright air topper with callouts, and a polished distributor shield.
It has a presentation with the. The inhales deeply with a
four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority out of those
side pipes. The four-speed manual transmission has about 1k miles
on the rebuild, and the clutch was also replaced at the time. So
you have confident control over the V8 power and its rumbling
soundtrack. Add in power steering and four-wheel power disc brakes,
and it's easy to hit the open road. Plus, all C2 are treasured for
introducing the Corvette to the fully independent suspension, but
since this was made to be a driver, this coupe has elevated the
experience. There have been investments like a tubular A-arm front
end, a newer rear suspension with a larger mono leaf spring, and
Bilstein shocks all around. It makes this an even sharper coupe and
the reason why it so ideally fits its true driver's attitude.
There's a spirit to this Sting Ray that makes it such an ideal car
for driver fun. So if you want to enjoy a legend to the fullest,
call today!
