This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette coupe is finished in silver over black and powered by a 427ci L72 V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end. Additional features include a Delco push-button radio, side-exit exhaust pipes, knock-off wheels, and chrome bumpers and trim. The car was acquired by the seller in 2018 and the engine and transmission fluids were changed in 2020.
The body was refinished in silver during previous ownership. Features include pop-up headlights, split chrome bumpers, a dual side-exit exhaust system, and front fender vents. The seller notes corrosion on the birdcage near the left and right A-pillars and a crack in the paint on the passenger-side front fender.
Turbine-style 15″ wheels are secured with three-eared knockoffs and mounted with 225/75 Uniroyal TigerPaw tires. Power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes were equipped as standard. The power steering control valve was replaced during current ownership.
The cabin features black vinyl bucket seats with matching dash pads, door panels, and carpeting. Brushed aluminum trim is located on the console and the glovebox door. Amenities include a clock, ventilation controls, and a vertically mounted Delco AM/FM radio in the center stack.
A teak-rimmed steering wheel mounted on an optional telescopic column fronts instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer displays 7k miles and is believed to have rolled over. Approximately 1k miles have been added by the seller, and total mileage is unknown.
The 427ci L72 V8 was reportedly rebuilt during previous ownership and is equipped with an open-element air cleaner and orange-finished valve covers. An oil change was performed in July 2020 and the starter has been replaced, per the seller
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end, both of which were reportedly rebuilt during previous ownership.
