Description

This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe showcases the rare Nassau Blue, the original color that really showcases the beautiful lines of the Corvette. The fiberglass body exemplifies the iconic mid-year design, featuring concealed headlamps and a sculpted rear deck. Chrome accents complement the blue paintwork, which maintains impressive depth and shine. The aggressive stance is accentuated by 427 badges, signaling the potent engine within. Fitted with period-correct knock-ff wheels and performance tires, this Sting Ray exudes classic American muscle.

The dark blue interior creates a cohesive aesthetic with the exterior. Vinyl-wrapped bucket seats provide both comfort and lateral support. A woodgrain steering wheel and center console add refined touches to the cabin. The factory M/FM radio provides period-correct entertainment, balancing vintage appeal with audio functionality. Clear, legible gauges on the dash keep vital information easily visible.

While signs indicate that this coupe was originally a big block car, this Corvette's year-correct IL suffix code 427 cubic inch V8 engine, rated at 390 horsepower, is paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission for precise control over the substantial output. The high horsepower tachometer, redlines at 6,500 RPM, and the 80# oil pressure gauge are signs of a factory big block car. ALso, underneath, dual front and rear sway bars that only BBC Vette's had in this year help hold the ground. The chrome open-element air cleaner and painted valve covers highlight the engine compartment's mostly stock appearance. An upgraded MSD ignition and aluminum radiator adds to this Corvette's drivability. The rumbling side exhaust system produces a muscular sound. With power steering and a Positraction rear end, this Corvette delivers an exciting driving experience that lives up to its legendary reputation.
