1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 cubic inch V8 Convertible 29565 Miles
This is the one you've been looking for. No excuses this time. Step up or go home, but you can't pretend that you want a pedigreed C2 Corvette and not want to own this absolutely gorgeous, frame-off restored 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible.
The highlights: a matching-numbers L36 427/390 mated to a matching-numbers Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission, a 3.36 posi-traction rear end, a new frame underneath, both convertible tops, loads of build photos and records, and it's wearing its factory correct Nassau Blue-over-Black color combination. This is the Mid-Year Corvette you swore you'd never let get away again. Time to put up or shut up. This incredible Corvette is restored just as it should be: dialed-in throughout, yet not too perfect for overstepping the condition these came in when they rolled off the factory floor. NCRS guys (should you ever want it certified, this C2 is certainly a candidate for a ribbon) are incredibly picky about over-restoration, so taking your Corvette over-the-top is a big no-no in that world, and if you want a pedigreed car, you'd better forget about the words "flawless" and "perfect." Instead, they seem to have worked overtime to make this car as imperfectly perfect as the factory did, which means that the resprayed Code 976 Nassau Blue paint looks great. Still, it's a driver-quality finish that can be enjoyed in the sun, not chained up in some museum or snooty collection. During the build, the body was completely stripped, gallons of Nassau Blue basecoat were applied, and then it was buried under a clear coat. So yeah, the shine isn't quite as soft as it would've been in 1966, but the finish looks right, especially out in the sunshine. Again, it's not some perfect trailer queen that you'll be afraid to drive, and the annoying mustachioed experts at car shows will find imperfections in the finish, but the curb appeal of this C2 is through the roof. The restoration is 5+ years old, so there are some minor signs of use as well, but almost nothing too serious that'll get you dinged at a club meeting where you'll be the envy of everyone within a three-mile radius. Flashy chrome bumpers sparkle against the glossy blue paint, the rocker panel molding is always a favorite for Corvettes without side pipes, and the Stinger hood, fender vents, and sporty gas cap out back add just enough aggression to this sculpted beauty. And should you ever be old enough to drive this Corvette in the rain, it is equipped with a black canvas soft top and a matching blue hardtop.
