For Sale: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette in Palmetto, Florida

1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible L36 Barn Find

We have come across a few rare Corvette Barn Finds since we have been in business. There are various reasons why some people park these gems in storage for decades. Sometimes it's with the hope that the owner can restore them to all their glory at a later date, sometimes it's for lack of funds, or sometimes just other things in life takes precedence.

We came across this rare 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible Barn Find in Pennsylvania and decided it was one that we wanted to restore ourselves, and we did.

It is a real-deal 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible with a 4-speed transmission, painted in Marina Blue Metallic code #976, with the bright blue leather code #415 bucket seat interior, powered by the 427 cubic inch Chevrolet big block engine, with it having a complete frame-off restoration into the Corvette that you can buy here today.
