This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was purchased new by the seller’s brother and acquired by the seller in 2008. A subsequent frame-off refurbishment was completed in 2009. The car is finished in Milano Maroon over black leather and powered by a rebuilt 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction rear end. Equipment includes a black convertible top, body-color hardtop, Holley carburetor, pop-up headlights, power steering, power disc brakes, a teak steering wheel, and an AM/FM radio.
The fiberglass body was reportedly media blasted prior to a repaint in Milano Maroon. Exterior details include a black convertible top, pop-up headlights, front fender vents, a power antenna, and split front and rear chrome bumpers.
Turbine-style 15″ wheels are mounted with American Classic whitewall tires. The car is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension with a transverse rear leaf spring, power-steering, and power-assisted disc brakes all around.
The cabin features black leather bucket seats along with matching door panels, carpets, and silver trim accents. Amenities include vent windows, lap belts, an AM/FM radio, and Corvette-branded floor mats.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 48k miles..
The rebuilt 327ci V8 features a polished air filter cover and is said to be equipped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor.
The last six digits of the engine stamping 6122156 match those of the car’s VIN. Additionally, the HT suffix corresponds with the L79 327/350 high-lift camshaft engine for manual-transmission applications.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed Muncie manual transmission and a Positraction rear end.
