Only owned by 2 family owners for the last 41 years, it was purchased in 1969 from the original owner with on 15k original miles on the odometer, and was stored in 1974 before becoming the object of a complete nut and bolt restoration.

Every functioning system has been disassembled and refurbished as needed. The magnificent original interior remains with new carpet and NOS door sills, and the exterior has been expertly refinished. A matching hardtop is with the car, and other options include AM/FM radio and dealer installed side pipes. A full and correct assortment of books accompanies the extensive documentation on this fantastic Corvette. The second generation of the sports car by the Chevrolet division of General Motors, the Corvette C2, was produced for the 1963 through 1967 model years. Virtually all-new, the Sting Ray stunned the automotive world in 1963, blending world-class handling with unmistakable all-American style and performance. Bill Mitchell revisited the Super Sport racer and would subsequently reinvent the Corvette with radical new styling, high performance, and a first-ever coupe. The generation became an instant classic, set sales records, and remains one of the most coveted of collectors' cars. The C2 generation continued winning on the race track, with successive engineering innovations, and eventually had a five-year run that many regard as the high point of Corvette history. This 66 Corvette is a driving experience unlike many others. This classic American sportscar icon is eye catching from any angle. But, once you turn the key and hear the roar of that 427 V8, youre instantly transported into a different era. Putting the pedal to the floor instantly put the power to the ground, and it doesnt take long to put a smile on your face. The shifter throw is surprisingly short, with a sporty positive notch requiring only a minimum of arm movement. The steering is direct and forward, letting you know exactly how the road feels at any given moment. Overall, this Corvette is a real treat.
