Vehicle Description
Featured in the upcoming NBC NASCAR playoff promo with Chase
Elliott and other top drivers, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
showcases the rare Nassau Blue, the original color that really
showcases the beautiful lines of the Corvette. The fiberglass body
exemplifies the iconic mid-year design, featuring concealed
headlamps and a sculpted rear deck. Chrome accents complement the
blue paintwork, which maintains impressive depth and shine. The
aggressive stance is accentuated by 427 badges, signaling the
potent engine within. Fitted with period-correct knock-ff wheels
and performance tires, this Sting Ray exudes classic American
muscle.
The dark blue interior creates a cohesive aesthetic with the
exterior. Vinyl-wrapped bucket seats provide both comfort and
lateral support. A woodgrain steering wheel and center console add
refined touches to the cabin. The factory M/FM radio provides
period-correct entertainment, balancing vintage appeal with audio
functionality. Clear, legible gauges on the dash keep vital
information easily visible.
While signs indicate that this coupe was originally a big block
car, this Corvette's year-correct IL suffix code 427 cubic inch V8
engine, rated at 390 horsepower, is paired with a Tremec 5-speed
manual transmission for precise control over the substantial
output. The high horsepower tachometer, redlines at 6,500 RPM, and
the 80# oil pressure gauge are signs of a factory big block car.
ALso, underneath, dual front and rear sway bars that only BBC
Vette's had in this year help hold the ground. The chrome
open-element air cleaner and painted valve covers highlight the
engine compartment's mostly stock appearance. An upgraded MSD
ignition and aluminum radiator adds to this Corvette's drivability.
The rumbling side exhaust system produces a muscular sound. With
power steering and a Positraction rear end, this Corvette delivers
an exciting driving experience that lives up to its legendary
reputation.
