For Sale at Auction: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette in Owls Head, Maine

New England Auto Auction is proud to offer for sale this fine example of one of the most celebrated sports cars in American History, the 427ci/425hp 4-speed 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster. This Corvette 427 is a very well sorted older restoration that has been extremely well cared for and maintained by past and current ownership. Under its current ownership the car was informally reviewed by an NCRS judge, and several detailed improvements were made based on their recommendations to prepare it for an official NCRS judging opportunity. Power and style is the name of the game when it comes to this 1966 Corvette 427ci roadster. Under the hood it is powered by the famous Chevrolet 427ci/425hp optioned V8 engine. The vehicle's serial number and engine stamp pad sequence number match as well as the shown engine stamp code suffix "IP," indicating a true original 427ci/425hp 4-speed optioned car, making this 427ci Corvette one of the most desirable examples of the C2 or "Sting Ray" Corvette generation. The consignor notes that all aspects of this car are period correct apart from the early 1970's 4-speed transmission that was utilized at some point in the vehicle's past. On the exterior this Corvette really shines. The brilliant Milano Maroon paint still represents at a high level reflecting the care and appreciation bestowed on this vehicle. On the interior, black leather seats and carpeting compliment the exterior maroon extremely well and help give more style to the already wonderful shape of the "Sting Ray" design. The hard top is painted to match the rest of the car, and the soft top is in high quality condition matching the overall condition of the car. From underneath, this Corvette is extremely clean, once again reflecting the care and detail taken by ownership. On the ground, this 427 sits on original Kelsey Hayes knock-off wheels, other options include power steering and power brakes. Overall, this example of the legendary 1966 427 Corvette Roadster is a fine example of one of the most sought-after sports cars in American History and ready for its next caretaker, a welcome addition to any serious collectors stable.
