Car history:
Posted 11/01/2019

Offered here is the holy grail of classic Corvettes. The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette
427 Coupe was the fasted production car produced in the muscle car era. From
the factory, it ran the quarter mile in 12.8 seconds at 112mph with a top speed
of 130mph. Those ground breaking numbers combined with the breathtaking
mid-year body lines, makes this second generation Stingray one of the most
desirable Corvettes of all time. This is a numbers matching L72 427ci/425hp
4-Speed car in nearly mint condition.

Our client and current owner of the car owns and operates a well-know West
Michigan service and restoration shop. This is his personal car and he purchased
it in 2004 because it was so right. The car is originally from Kentucky and came
to Michigan in the 1990's, purchased by the owner of Caledonia Corvette. In the
late 1990's, the car was given a no-expense spared frame-off restoration in
Caledonia Corvette's body shop. It was painted in the original 988 Milano Maroon
in a basecoat/clearcoat. At the same time, the motor and transmission were
completely rebuilt and blueprinted. The car remains highly original, except for
the rear gears being converted to 3.55 for an easier drive, braided brake hoses,
and a Hurst Competition Plus shifter replaced the original and problematic Muncie.
The seats were professionally covered in variegated OEM seat covers, which
you cannot find today and the correct teakwood steering wheel. The door
panels are from Al Knoch Corvette interiors, one of the best in the business.
The car has the original air cleaner, original carpet, original seat belts, and
original date code correct steel wheels with original hubcaps with raised white
letter radials that can be purchased with the car. Everything on the car works,
including the power antenna and clock. The car has been thoroughly gone through
by one of the best in the area.
