1966 marked a slight appearance change for the Stingray Corvette.
The front nose of the car was changed slightly with a revised
eggcrate grill replacing the horizontal bars of the '65 model. A
Corvette emblem was added to the hood's corner and overall the car
retained the rear and interior appearance of its predecessor. The
old saying of don't fix it if it ain't broke rang true as '66
marked another record sales year for Corvette.
This '66 Corvette coupe is a striking car in every way. Powered by
a 427ci/425hp V8 mated to a 4-speed transmission, there is no doubt
when this car is fired up that it is ready to roll. The biggest
baddest block available in '66, the 427/425 was likely highly
underrated for horsepower as that was the practice by General
Motors in the mid sixties. Outfitted with a 4.11 posi-traction rear
end, power brakes and power steering, this car is an absolute joy
to drive. Undoubtedly, the standout feature of this Corvette is the
side-exhaust. Once you turn the key there is no doubt that the
signature growl of this car is that of only a mid-60's Corvette.
Around the exterior, the car is covered in Nassau Blue that pops
against the chrome bumpers. The interior matches the exterior in
corresponding bright blue vinyl. Throughout this car it is evident
that it was restored and maintained to a high-standard. This car is
an ideal example that can be both driven, enjoyed and shown.
Unless stated otherwise, mileage on odometer is exempt and unknown
if original.
