This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was acquired by the seller’s parents in 1977 and is said to have been stored in Pennsylvania from 1978 until 2004, when it was given to the seller and relocated to Florida. Recommissioning over the last 16 years has included rebuilds of the engine and transmission, as well as a reupholstered interior and refreshes of the brakes, suspension, steering, and fuel systems. Finished in silver with a black soft top over a black vinyl interior, the car is powered by a replacement 327ci V8 paired with a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission. Features include a Delco AM/FM push-button radio, a body-colored hardtop, power-assisted steering and four-wheel disc brakes, side-exit exhaust pipes, pop-up headlights, power windows, and chrome bumpers and trim.
The fiberglass bodywork came factory-finished in Silver Pearl (986) and features a black soft top. A replacement power antenna motor has been fitted and the pop-up headlight motors have been rebuilt per the seller. Additional features include a body-colored removable hardtop, a driver’s side-view mirror, front fender vents, side-exit exhaust pipes, and chrome split bumpers. Replacement weatherstripping on the body and top has been installed, and areas of chipped and flaking paintwork are present. Other flaws noted by the seller include uneven panel gaps, a warped hood, a crack in the fiberglass underneath the rear bumper, and evidence of previous repairs around the driver-side rear fender and front inner fender well.

The bucket seat frames were rebuilt and reupholstered with black vinyl, and the cabin features matching door panels and replacement carpets lined with Corvette Sting Ray-branded floor mats. Amenities include power-assisted steering, a vertically-mounted Delco push-button AM/FM radio, a rear-mounted fire extinguisher, and power windows. The seller reports that various trim pieces and switchgear have been replaced. The clock is reported to be inoperable.
A wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames a refurbished gauge cluster housing replacement instruments including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary displays for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows just over 43k miles.
The replacement 327ci V8 was rebuilt in November 2020, bored .040 over, and fitted with rebuilt double-hump cylinder heads, Eagle connecting rods, and replacement pistons. Additional equipment includes an Edelbrock AVS carburetor and aluminum intake manifold, a rebuilt alternator, DeWitts aluminum radiator and electric fan, as well as a replacement fuel tank, pump, and sending unit. Recent work performed by Pyramid Automotive, Inc. of St. Petersburg, Florida included the installation of a Melling hydraulic roller tappet camshaft and lifters, as well as a replacement oil pump, main bearing, rod bearing, push rods, and gaskets. Receipts from the work are provided, and the removed intake manifold and Holley four-barrel carburetor are included in the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission that has also been rebuilt and fitted with a RAM pressure plate and clutch.
