Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is extremely proud to offer to you this truly
exceptional 1966 Corvette Restomod Convertible. It is not every day
that we see such a stunningly well built car! This freshly
completed two year build has resulted in what is essentialy a brand
new 1966 Corvette with a modern engine, drivetrain, suspension,
brakes, and amenities. The first thing that catches your eye is the
show-quality Torch Red paint - it looks deep enough to dive into
and has a beautiful lustrous shine. The Stinger hood features a
black accent stripe that ties in perfectly with the brand new
Stayfast black convertible top. The chrome bumpers and trim are
simply flawless and appear as new. The chrome continues with new
Factory Reproductions C7 Z06 wheels wrapped in new Continental
Extreme Contact Sport tires. Running down both sides of the car are
sidepipes with correct OEM covers that sound simply spectacular
when fired up. The body lines of this Corvette are perfectly done
and the gaps are literally more consistent than factory production.
The pop-up headlights work quickly and in unison, courtesy of a
Detroit Speed kit. In addition to the quick action of the
headlights, all exterior lights have been upgraded to LED. On the
rear of the car you'll notice that an extra set of tail lights has
been added for a unique look. All of the exterior badging is bright
and new, including the chrome "cross-flags" fuel filler cover. All
of the glass on the car is brand new as well. You may notice that
the windshield wipers are not present and have been capped off for
appearance, but we do have the wiper arms and blades should you
decide to put them back on. The wipers are, like the pop-up
headlights, backed up by a new Detroit Speed kit for quick and
reliable operation. Beauty does not just run skin-deep with this
Corvette though, it sits on a brand new Coffman Chassis 66 C2
pro-street frame with C6 and C7 suspension components including
Ridetech coil-overs! To this frame was added a 2017 6.2 liter LT1
V-8 small block with only 10K miles on it mated to a new 4L65E
electronic 4-speed overdrive transmission. This drivetrain is
connected to a Dana 44 rear differential with True Trac gears and
C8 axels, and a Helix power steering rack has been added. The
engine is managed by a Holley Terminator X Max computer and a
RestoMod car wiring harness. Also under the hood you'll find an
aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, a red and black Corvette
engine cover, and a chrome hood hinge. Like everything on this car,
the braking system was given full consideration. A Wilwood brake
system has been added with stainless steel brake lines and disc
brakes on all 4 corners with red painted calipers and drilled and
slotted rotors. Just like the brakes, the fuel system is also brand
new with a new fuel pump, gas tank, sending unit, and aluminum fuel
line. When you open the driver's door you're greeted by a brand new
interior that still has a new car smell! The black leather bucket
seats have new foam and covers and are very comfortable. The carpet
is new, as are the custom "Stingray" cross-flags Corvette floor
mats. The dash appears stock at first, but like everything else,
has been upgraded. It now has Dakota Digital Gauges, a new clock,
and an original looking AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo from Antique
Automobile Radio Inc. that runs through new speakers. To the left
of the upper central console you'll notice the discretely placed
control for the Vintage Air system with Sanden compressor that
pumps out ice-cold AC. The steering wheel is wrapped in black
leather and is backed by power steering. Windows are power operated
and glide up and down with ease. The automatic transmission is
controlled by a new Shiftworks shifter with a leather boot. The
passenger side of the dash features a new glovebox and grab-handle
for spirited driving. The builder has provided us with a
spreadsheet that itemizes all expenditures involved in the build as
well as a thumb-drive of photos taken during the process. This
Corvette is truly top-of the -line in every respect and would be a
centerpiece of attention in any collection. Builds of this quality
level are few and far between, so don't let this opportunity pass
you by! Give our friendly staff a call today.
