DESCRIPTION
1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
For consignment, a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible with a title verified 41,071 actual miles. After some long term storage, this car received fresh brakes, new wheels, fuel line, pump and sending unit, as well as other parts and service to make it a drivable car.
Exterior
Two stage Laguna Blue Metallic shines on this car like never before and the new owner will have the choice of three configurations. You can go with the contrasting white canvas top, leave home with the black vinyl fiberglass hardtop, or head out with the top down and enjoy the wind in your hair! It doesn\'t matter which you choose because when you\'re driving a \'66 Vette with side pipes, there\'s simply not much that can disrupt your coolness. Fantastic chrome on the rear split bumper reflects the dual lights in back, one red and one white on each side. In profile, the 15-inch wheels look great wrapped in 205/75R15 tires with a late 2024 date code and the triple fender vent is worthy of being photographed and framed on the merit of its singular beauty, and the same could be said about the stinger hood and hidden headlights. Flaws include minor imperfections in the paint, a small scratch above a rear wheel, and a few rock chips in front.
Interior
Beautiful dark blue doors present essentially flawless with contrasting silver hardware and trim. The bucket seats are blue as well and other than some minor wrinkling, they are in great shape too behind the simulated wood steering wheel. That in turn fronts a fantastic instrument cluster in textured black plastic and silver painted rims, while the blue dash pad cascades to the center stack and houses a clock, vertical radio, and various knobs. Our first touch of patina shows up on the passenger cover where the glovebox has minor scratches. But the center console, which usually shows wear, is in nice condition and the blue looped carpet below is consistent with the interior as is the fully lined, clean trunk.
Drivetrain
Big, orange, and clean is how we find the period correct 427ci V8 with a consignor stated 390 horsepower. The power plant wears new reproduction valve covers and a rebuilt Holley 4-barrel carburetor and Holley intake. It\'s mated to a MuncieM20 4-speed manual transmission that routes power to 3.36 gears with Positraction. The engine has newer spark plugs, the radiator was recored,
Undercarriage
While there\'s some patina on metal components underneath, there\'s also a few that look, and are newer including the tie rods, idler arms, ball joints, and shock absorbers. Our consignor informs us there are new rotors and calipers on all four disc brakes, a new master cylinder, and wheel bearings. The dual exhaust exits via side pipes and suspension includes coil springs up front and the complex configuration of a frame anchored differential, three link, tubular axle drive shafts, transverse strut rods, and transverse leaf spring on back.
Drive-Ability
The big 427 starts right up and we row the chrome knob of the shifter into place and roll the newer tires out on the test loop. She not only sounds great, but provides plenty of power underfoot as the throttle responds to pressure. Super handling, great tracking, and all those new brake components work together to stop the car on a dime. Our consignor told us the headlights don\'t rotate up and he was right! He also let us know the fuel sender is not working and the vinyl hardtop from a \'67 is missing the rear pins to position the top. Beyond these things, all functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Here is a good looking and well sorted 1966 convertible Corvette that checks all the right boxes, from side pipes to multiple tops to a 427 under the hood. Don\'t feel pressured, but take under advisement the information that 1966 Corvettes sell very well and very quickly here at the mall. This is a classic that\'s high on many wish lists!
