Chevrolet Corvette remains one of the most celebrated models of the
legendary C2 generation, blending unmistakable styling with the
muscle and refinement that made the mid-year Sting Rays icons of
American performance. This exceptional example has undergone an
extensive five-year restoration with no expense spared, resulting
in a car that is as impressive to drive as it is to admire.
Finished in its striking factory Sunfire Yellow, this Corvette
captures the bold spirit of the era while showcasing the meticulous
craftsmanship and attention to detail invested throughout its
restoration. With more than $200,000 invested and just 45,000 miles
shown on the odometer, it represents an outstanding opportunity to

lies the original, matching-numbers 427 cubic-inch V8 rated at 390
horsepower from the factory. Equipped with its correct Holley
four-barrel carburetor, the legendary big-block delivers effortless
torque and exhilarating performance that made these Corvettes
feared competitors on both the street and the strip. Backing the
engine is the desirable M20 Muncie four-speed manual transmission,
sending power to a 3.70 Positraction rear end that provides
spirited acceleration and rewarding driver engagement. This
drivetrain combination represents one of the most sought-after
configurations available in 1966.Inside, the cabin has been
beautifully restored with black leather upholstery that complements
the vibrant exterior finish. Comfort and convenience are enhanced
with factory air conditioning, professionally converted to modern
R-134a refrigerant for dependable performance, while the rare
telescopic steering column allows drivers to tailor the driving
position for added comfort. Every gauge, switch, and trim piece
reflects the high standards maintained throughout the restoration,
creating an interior that is both authentic and inviting.Driving
this Corvette is every bit as enjoyable as its appearance suggests.

presentation are gold line tires wrapped around factory Sport Wheel
Covers, adding an elegant finishing touch that perfectly
complements the car's classic styling and preserves its
unmistakable mid-1960s character.Delivered new to Beunger Chevrolet

desirable factory options, and concours-level restoration make it
