1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 427/390hp For Sale - Nut And Bolt
Frame-Off Resto, Numbers Matching LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 427/390Hp Corvette put
America back on the sports car map and Corvette owners in a class
by themselves. The C2 Generation known as the Corvette Sting Ray,
is the American sports car legend produced for the 1963 to 1967
model years. The radical exterior styling of this Corvette
generation was very purposeful, with peaked fenders, a long nose,
and a short, bobbed tail that Chevrolet designers bragged about as
'looks most stylists would be too timid to even suggest'. For 1966
Chevrolet made only evolutionary changes such as the frontal
appearance was mildly altered with an egg-crate grille insert to
replace the previous horizontal bars, Coupe lost its roof-mounted
extractor vents, which had proven inefficient, back up lights were
now standard, knock-off wheels were still available, headrests were
now optional and the interior door pulls are bright metal. The
headliner of the '66 Vette is foam and vinyl, an upgrade from the
fiberboard headliner previously used. Corvettes also received an
emblem in the corner of the hood for 1966. The "Big Block" Models
debuted that year and came with a special bubble hood to
accommodate the stronger horsepower engines and provided
distinguished styling. This 1966 Corvette Coupe offered here for
sale was built at the St. Louis plant with a production date of
November 11, 1965 and delivered to Wood Chevrolet in Birmingham,
Alabama per the NCRS Shipping Data records. This Corvette Coupe is
stunning in its factory Sunfire Yellow exterior with the Black
Leather interior. Under the eye-catching design of the high-domed
hood with the chrome breather vents is a numbers matching L36
427/390 HP backed by the numbers matching four-speed transmission.
The distinctive stance of the Sting Ray is unmistakable as it sits
on the Knock off wheels with Gold line radial tires. Adding to the
classic exterior look is the desirable Side-Mounted Exhaust System
which provides the bold look and delivers the impressive roar from
its big block power plant. Other nice features and conveniences of
this wonderful driver are power brakes, Teakwood steering wheel
option, the AM/FM Radio with power antenna, clock and the very rare
Power Window option code A31. Starting with a previous NCRS award
winner, this big block Coupe was recently subject to a frame off
restoration. The body was beautifully repainted in the same shade
of Sunfire Yellow paint. The frame was removed from the body,
completely repainted in the correct black and all suspension
components detailed. Additional Details: 1966 CHEVROLET CORVETTE
