A big block 427 with tons of 60s muscle car horsepower that's all you really
need to know to crave this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible. But if you dig
a little deeper you find even more great features like a fresh restoration to one
of the rarest colors around, a four-speed manual, and an exceptionally accurate interior.


Trophy Blue is an amazing color especially when paired with the distinctive white
folding roof. In fact, while the Corvette is an all-American, this color combo has
a downright European flair. This is also one of the rarest colors for the '66 Corvette.
It was only available that year, which makes this one of less than 1,500 ever
built. The paint was refinished as part of a thorough restoration that took place
around 795 miles ago. So combined with the exceptional fiberglass, it lines up
straight to showcase the creased lines of the C2 body. But more than just great
care, it has all the features that make these classics desirable, including the power
bubble hood, intricate chrome bumpers shining like mirrors, optional luggage rack,
and even the correct wheel covers.


While we like the way the light blue looks with the white top, when you take it
down, the pairing with the factory-correct dark blue interior is even more attractive.
Just as much attention was spent restoring the interior as the exterior, and so
there haven't even been enough miles to put a wrinkle in the fresh bucket seats.
All your favorite icons are in place from the wood grain three-spoke steering
wheel, to the dual cowl dash. But what you'll really love about this classic is the
intoxicating feeling that comes from rowing through the gears, watching the crisp
gauges dance, and hearing the roar of the big block.


This was a pivotal year for the Corvette, because 1966 was the introduction of
the now-famous 427 cubic-inch V8. And this Sting Ray celebrates it perfectly
with its original big block still sitting in the engine bay. The largest V8 available
that year is dressed properly with Chevy Orange on the block and valve covers.
Plus, there's a nice bit of flash with the correct ignition shield and chrome air
cleaner with 427 decals. And as you look at the details, this engine bay is so
correct and tidy that even the Holley four-barrel carburetor is correct. This big
block classic is all about keeping you connected with the road. The four-speed
manual transmission allows you to dial in the performance; the fully-independent
suspension holds the road better than some modern muscle machines; and the
four-wheel disc brakes provide superior stopping power.


This is the rare and high quality vintage car that you'll love to drive. It's a true
Corvette of distinction.
