Featured in the the original color of Nassau Blue that really showcases the beautiful lines of the Corvette, the fiberglass body of this beautiful 1966 Corvette coupe exemplifies the iconic mid-year design. Big Block Chevy power sorrounded by iconic features like concealed headlamps and a sculpted rear deck makes this Vette a winner. Chrome accents complement the slick 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.
All signs indicate that this coupe was originally a big block car, and this Corvette's year-correct IL suffix code 427 cubic inch V8 engine, rated at 390 horsepower, is paired with an upgraded Tremec 5-speed manual transmission for more Restomod like features and highway cruising to give a much nicer drive over a stock 4 speed. You wont be wishing for another gear, it's there. The high horsepower tachometer, redlines at 6,500 RPM, and the 80# oil pressure gauge are all 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.
