This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was purchased by the seller’s father in 1974 and was inherited by the seller’s mother in 2017. The car is finished in blue with a white soft top over blue vinyl upholstery, and power comes from a numbers-matching 327ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include power-assisted disc brakes, polished hubcaps with faux spinners, pop-up headlights, chrome bumpers and trim, and a Delco push-button AM/FM radio.
The fiberglass bodywork is finished in Nassau Blue (976). Equipment includes hidden headlights, dual valance-exit exhaust tips, and chrome split bumpers.
Silver-finished 15” steel wheels wear polished hubcaps with faux spinners and are mounted with Kumho 795 Touring A/S whitewall tires that are worn and should be replaced according to the seller. Braking is handled by power-assisted discs at all four corners.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in Bright Blue vinyl (414) with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets lined with Corvette-branded floor mats. Lap belts are fitted for both occupants, and amenities include a locking glovebox, an analog clock, and a Delco AM/FM radio.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 89k miles.
The 327ci V8 features a chrome air cleaner and painted valve covers, and was factory rated at 300 horsepower. A new battery was installed in June 2019.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. A service invoice from 2019 notes that the clutch and throw-out bearing are weak.
