If you are searching for one of the finest 1966 Corvettes available today, your search may be over.
This stunning 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is powered by its factory, all numbers matching 427ci 390-horsepower big block engine, paired with the original numbers matching 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in the highly desirable Rally Red with a Black Vinyl interior, this Corvette represents the pinnacle of correctness, restoration quality, and documented pedigree.
This exceptional example is the proud recipient of two NCRS Top Flight Awards with an average score of 96 points, as well as Bloomington Gold Certification, achieved within the last four years. The car underwent a complete frame-on restoration to NCRS specifications, completed in 2017 by a Master NCRS Judge. All judging awards, score sheets, and documentation are included.
Since its last judging, the rear chassis has been correctly restored to NCRS standards, making the car eligible to be judged again and potentially score even higher. There is still plenty of enjoyment left for the next caretaker, whether showing, judging, or simply driving one of the finest C2 Corvettes on the road.
This Corvette comes with extensive ownership history and documentation, organized in two nearly foot-thick binders, an exceptionally rare find. The car is on consignment from a meticulous collector who is simply moving on to his next project. This car needs absolutely nothing.
