Posted 09/06/2019 Mecum Auctions // Monterey 2019 Lot S81 See this link for pics. https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0819-381123/1966-chevrolet-corvette-convertible/ Ground-up restoration on a California car Refinished in original Nassau Blue lacquer over 30 years ago Stored in a climate-controlled garage Sold new at Prolo Chevrolet in Santa Cruz, California to local resident William Shaffer on January 13, 1966 Original warranty booklet and Protect-O-Plate Original California Highway Patrol pollution control inspection slip Owner's guide and AM/FM radio instructions in plastic pouch Original California emission system and air pump Hardtop and soft top AM/FM and power antenna Teakwood steering wheel Classic White/Blue Vinyl interior with White convertible top Recent brake work and tires A comprehensive ground-up restoration was completed on this very attractive 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible more than 30 years ago, at which time it was refinished in the correct, original Nassau Blue metallic lacquer. It has been prudently stored in a climate-controlled environment ever since, resulting in its present overall condition. Few changes were made to Chevrolets Corvette for the 1966 model year, as engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov continued his time-proven approach of continued refinements, even while cooking up such ground-breaking advances as the 4-wheel disc brakes and big-block powerplants, both of which were introduced in 1965. By that time, planning was already well underway for a third-generation Corvette, drawing both the engineering and styling departments focus away from the existing model. Significant changes included new hood script, a new grille insert, new seats and backup lights as standard equipment. Sold new at Prolo Chevrolet in Santa Cruz, California, to local resident William Shaffer on January 13, 1966, this handsome black-plate Sting Ray convertible embodies the sunny spirit of 1960s California with its bright combination of Nassau Blue paint, white soft top, body-matching blue auxiliary hardtop and Classic White and blue interior. As an original California car, it was factory equipped with the state-mandated Air Injection Reaction emission-control system and air pump, all of which is original on this car. Additionally equipped with full-size spinner wheel covers, a teakwood steering wheel, AM/FM pushbutton radio and a power antenna, it has received recent brake work and rides on new white-stripe radial tires. Documentation includes the original warranty booklet and Protect-O-Plate, the original California Highway Patrol pollution-control inspection slip, owner's guide and AM/FM radio instructions in a plastic pouch.
