Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette L79 Convertible with air conditioning
was produced on June 27, 1966, and sold new at Community Chevrolet
in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to the NCRS Shipping Data

This Corvette is the recipient of a multi-year, frame-off
restoration completed in February 2025. The restoration included a
comprehensive chassis restoration, a magnificent base coat/clear
coat paint job in Nassau Blue, and interior soft goods replaced
with NOS and original parts. As many original components as
possible were sourced and used to keep this Corvette as authentic
and correct as possible.

including its original engine with engine stamping code "HP," which
designates a 327/350 HP L79 engine. It is equipped with a 4-speed
manual transmission, power steering, and air conditioning. The
original trim tag designates that this Corvette left the factory
finished in Code 976 Nassau Blue exterior with Trim Code 414 Bright
Blue Vinyl interior.
Other factory options include J50 vacuum power brakes, G81 3.70
Positraction rear axle, N11 off-road exhaust system, P48 cast
aluminum wheels, N40 power steering, A01 Soft Ray tinted glass, an
AM/FM radio, a power antenna, an auxiliary hardtop, and a white
convertible soft top.
Original documentation for this Corvette includes owner history
dating back to new, the vehicle's original Protection Plan booklet
and Protect-O-Plate, a 1969 bank letter from the Defense Credit
Union Council to the second owner (a young pilot in the U.S. Air
Force), vintage photos, and complete service history receipts
dating back to the 1970s.
