1966 Chevrolet Corvette -- Description

NCRS Top Flight Body Off Restored Corvette Coupe 427ci V8 4-spd A/C Side Pipes /// Assembled in St. Louis, Missouri in February of 1966, this slick C2 is the kind of classic that you can look at and virtually sense top-notch caretaking. As you likely deduced from our high-resolution photography, that caretaking involved a detailed, body-off restoration. That ground-up reboot, documented over the course of eight years, began with solid, original fiberglass that was fully stripped, lovingly sanded and gratuitously... sprayed in correct Rally Red 2-stage. With that pigment applied, the car's doors and lids were carefully adjusted to ensure good fit and finish. And vibrant factory trim was affixed under factory-tint glass and a correct big block hood to ardently accentuate Bill Mitchell's razor-sharp style lines. Tilt the hood and you'll find 427 cubic inches of numbers-matching big block that frames a correct "IL" suffix stamp and matching 113377 partial VIN in a high performance 3869942 casting number and a January (A) 21st (21), 1966 (6) casting date. Behind that mill, a tough Muncie 4-speed sports a familiar 3885010 casting number, a Muncie (P) assembled on February (02) 2nd (02), 1966 build stamp and a matching 113377 partial VIN. That drivetrain rolls on a familiar F41 Sport Suspension, which mixes power steering with power-assisted discs. And at the corners of the floor, 205/75R15 Firestone Supreme Si whitewalls lap Knock-Off Wheels. Between the doors, a correct Standard Interior has been completely restored. Tight bucket seats frame a thin console that's equipped with a correct chrome shifter. A monochromatic dash hangs rebuilt telemetry over optional air conditioning and an optional Delco AM/FM radio. And in front of the driver, a sweet Teakwood steering wheel laps a telescopic column. If you've been searching for a fully sorted classic that looks right and, more importantly, feels right, call, click or visit to claim this sweet Corvette!
