The 1966 Corvette is a second-generation Corvette Sting Ray model,
renowned for its sleek styling and powerful performance. It
continued the iconic C2 design introduced in 1963, destined to
become classics. This matching-numbers roadster was the beneficiary
of a frame-off restoration (1996) that is documented with photos of
the build process. No detail was spared. The beautiful roadster
participated in NCRS Top-Flite judging in 1999 and NCRS
documentation is provided. The handsome body with virtually perfect
gaps was professionally refinished in two-stage Rally Red (974).
The owner states that when stripped it did not appear to have any
collision damage. The paint is in overall very good condition, but
there is one small area wherein the clearcoat appeared to have
trapped a bit of dust during the paint process. Chrome and
stainless are outstanding and reproduction Turbine aluminum wheels
(true knock-offs - Western Wheel, Co.) mount Yokohama 15"
Red/Orange line radial tires. A manual convertible top is in
virtually new condition. The black vinyl interior (code STD) has
also been meticulously restored back-to-original and is
outstanding. Features include a Corvette wood-alloy wheel (not
original, but original included), tinted windows and excellent
trim/dash/door panels. All gauges appear to be working properly and
the factory AM/FM sound system has a power antenna. The storage
compartment contains a jack, wheel hub knock-off hammer and fire
extinguisher.
The drivetrain of this '66 Corvette is all matching-numbers based
on partial VIN stampings on the engine, transmission and
differential housing. The engine is a 327ci small-block rated at
300hp (code HE). It received a professional rebuild and is fitted
with the correct intake, Holley 4-barrel carburetor, distributor
w/tach drive and chrome wiring shields. The Mouse sounds great
through a factory side-mount exhaust system that is very mellow. It
is backed by a Borg Warner T-10 4-speed manual transmission and
original posi-traction differential with 3.08:1 gears. A clean,
solid chassis is equipped with manual steering and 4-wheel manual
disc brakes w/Delco Moraine calipers. All front/rear suspension
components appear to have been well maintained. If you have been
thinking about investing in a classic C2 Corvette, consider this
outstanding, fully restored '66 roadster - as the book says: 'All
Corvettes Are Red'. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
