Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was acquired in 2011 by the seller who carried out a multi-year refurbishment that included repainting the bodywork in red, powder-coating and internally lining the frame, reupholstering the interior in tan leather, and overhauling the 327ci V8 and four-speed manual transmission. The gauge cluster, clock, and soft top as well as the fuel, braking, and suspension systems were overhauled during the refurbishment. The car has been modified with a Vintage Air air conditioning system, a modern USB-input stereo, headrests, and kick-panel speakers, and additional equipment includes a beige convertible soft top, rear-exit exhaust pipes, a Positraction differential, 15″ steel wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, chrome bumpers, and retractable headlights. This C2 is now offered with service records, spare parts, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name. The fiberglass body was hand-sanded, filled with Bondo as needed, and painted using PPG red by the seller, and the frame was powder-coated black and internally lined with POR-15. The beige convertible soft top and frame were replaced and the headlight motors were rebuilt by Eckler’s. Photos showing the condition of the paint can be viewed in the gallery, and spots of chips and wear are present.
