Finished in its factory-correct Sunfire Yellow over a black vinyl interior, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is an authentic, fully numbers-matching big-block example featuring its original engine and drivetrain. Coming from long-term ownership within a high-end C2 Corvette collection, this car represents an exceptionally honest and highly collectible mid-year Corvette.
Powered by its matching-numbers 427 Turbo-Jet V8, the engine retains casting number #3869942 and stamping #6121440, correctly corresponding with the VIN. The drivetrain is further supported by its original Muncie 4-speed manual transmission (casting #3885010, stamping P0502 dated May 2, 1966) and factory Positraction rear axle coded AZ42966 with a desirable 3.36:1 gear ratio assembled April 29, 1966.
Factory body tag information confirms this Corvette was built as a 1966 Coupe (STYLE 66437) at the St. Louis assembly plant and finished in its original code 984 SunfireYellow with standard black vinyl interior trim. The documented build date is January 29, 1966, making this an early-production example.
Performance is delivered through the factory Holley 4-barrel carburetor and factory-style dual exhaust system, producing the unmistakable sound and torque that define the legendary big-block Corvettes of the 1960s. Manual steering and four-wheel disc brakes preserve the pure, mechanical driving character enthusiasts seek in a true C2 performance car.
Equally important, the body is exceptionally solid with no rust or accident damage, a critical factor when evaluating collectible mid-year Corvettes. The car retains the clean, straight presentation expected from long-term collector ownership and careful preservation.
