Vehicle Description
This 1966 Corvette Convertible was delivered new at Robert DeNoyer Chevrolet of Holland, MI on May 12, 1966. The car was ordered with the L79 327 / 350 motor, 4 speed Muncie manual transmission and a 3:70:1 Positraction Rear end. The car was delivered dressed in Rally Red exterior paint over Black Vinyl interior with White convertible top and matching Rally Red hard top. Other highlights included chrome spinner hubcaps, classic teak 3 spoke steering wheel, 7000 RPM tach, 160 MPH speedometer, clock, bucket seats etc.
Since, the car has remained in the W. Michigan area and has had just 3 owners to the present day. It shows 98122 miles on the odometer and those miles are said to be and believed to be the original mileage. Today, this 1966 Corvette remains in wonderful, quite original condition. The body has never been off the frame, and according to the owner and our visual inspection, the car retains its original numbers matching motor, transmission, rear end and most of its componentry. The car sports an older repaint that still shows well and appears that the interior has been addressed with correct NOS carpeting and NOS seat upholstery at one time and the headliner has been recently replaced on the hard top. The steering wheel, interior panels, dash and gauges remain original to the car. The frame and underbody remain original and exhibit an excellent core structure.
Mechanically, the car is hands down one of the best driving Corvettes we have had. The L79 high horsepower small block fires with ease and settles into idle effortlessly. It pulls strong in every gear, it tracks straight and has a tight and responsive suspension. Recent services include all new shocks, new front wheel bearings and brake service.
Finding a quality Corvette that has remained intact as a usable driver for its entirety of its existence is not easy. The car here is a high quality, highly original driver quality example that has never been in non-working order throughout its ownership history. Documentation includes its original Protect-O-Plate with original dealer and owner information, the original, now not valid, 1983 title from the second owner and receipts of some recent services. The proper casting numbers and stampings are in place, legible and apeat legit. What a great opportunity to acquire a no-questions example of one of the most desirable American sports cars on the planet. The 1966 Corvette will always be a blue chip automotive investment. Straight forward examples such as the 1966 Corvette here are few and far between.
