1966 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster

Numbers Matching 427/390hp

The Mid-Year Corvette is one of the most sought after cars to emerge from the 60's.Their unmistakable styling is only one of many reasons for this popularity.The well designed chassis including four wheel independent suspension and on the 1965 and up models, four wheel disc brakes give them an element of driveability not often seen on American cars of the day.The ability to get them with a wide variety of both small and big block motors also gives them very broad appeal.

This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette roadster has been restored in its factory correct livery of Nassau Blue with blue interior, fully polished with a brilliant shine. Open the hood of this Corvette and you will find a 390hp version of the famous 427 cubic inch Chevrolet big block engine. Attached to all that power is a hint of modernization in the form of a 5 speed over drive transmission allowing for comfortable highway cruising. Fold down the black convertible soft top and the blue interior shows well from thin wood rimmed, three spoke steering wheel to the full complement of gauges, factory power windows and factory correct shifter, deceivingly well attached to the previously mentioned modern transmission. Climbing behind the wheel of a mid-year big block Corvette such as this one is a visceral experience; firing the ignition and hearing the side exit exhaust is one like few others. The cars are an incredible mixture of raw power and a surprising element of sophistication from the four wheel indenpendant suspension and four wheel disc brakes. Overall this car makes for a very enjoyable time to drive, experience and enjoy the way a '66 Corvette 427 was meant to be used, open air cruising at its very best.
