For sale in our Denver showroom is a numbers matching 1966 Corvette 427 - 425 HP V8 convertible. This description really doesn't need much more! Coated in Silver Pearl, paired with black vinyl interior, this Corvette is sure to turn heads. Only 215 miles are on it since restoration. For 1966, Chevrolet introduced an even larger 427 cu in Big Block version. Other options available on the C2 included the Wonderbar auto-tuning AM radio, AM-FM radio (mid-1963), air conditioning (late-1963), a telescopic steering wheel (1965), and headrests (1966). The Sting Ray's independent rear suspension was successfully adapted for the new-for-1965 Chevrolet Corvair, which solved the quirky handling problems of that unique rear-engine compact. The classic offers a M-20 4-spd manual transmission, also numbers matching. The rear-end is a posi-traction 3.55:1 gear. Options include: AM/FM radio, manual convertible top, hub caps, power brakes, seat belts, and leather interior. While each classic car offers its own piece of history, this Corvette comes with documentation showing each owner throughout the years! For example, in December of 1965 the car was assembled and shipped to Martin Chevrolet in Warren, Ohio. In 1966 the car was purchased by a 72-year-old gentleman who resided in Warren and passed just 2 years later. After that, the Corvette found a new master in Howland, Ohio who worked as a shop teacher. The list continues. In 2010 this classic earned a NCRS Top Flight Award at a Western Regional meet. Then in 2015, it won a NCRS Top Flight Award at the National Convention in Denver, CO. Needless to say, this car is very well put together. If you are looking for a great investment that you can also enjoy on the weekends, this is a great find.
