Description

1966 Chevrolet Corvette Big-Block Convertible - Rally Red, Both Tops!


A CLASSIC INVESTMENT!

You don't have to drop six figures to own a mid-year big-block convertible Corvette! For about half that you could be this car's next owner.


Save money up front, and you'll have the flexibility to do upgrades down the road on your own schedule. Maybe you'll do some of the work yourself and save even more. Or just enjoy driving her like I have over the years.


She was born on June 17, 1966.While it’s not the original 427 turbo-jet V8 engine, she carries an incredible 396 cubic inches of torrid big-block muscle with that signature sound. Largely unrestored with the rich patina of a genuine classic, examples like this are getting harder to find. Buy this car and drive it - you'll never get tired of the compliments.


In addition to the remarkably clean white soft top, she even comes with the hard-to find matching hard top. 4-wheel power disc brakes.Rare power windows.The unmistakable “stinger” hood found exclusively on the big-blocks.The ‘66 roadster is arguably the most beautiful Corvette ever made, and not often found in this price range.


I’ve owned and enjoyed this beautiful machine since 1995 – and it’s the only Corvette or classic car I’ve ever owned. I’m hesitant to let her go, but with growing kids I need the space more than I need the horsepower.

For $51,900 you will be the next proud owner.


The car is in a storage building in the Des Moines, Iowa area. And I can arrange a viewing for you.Serious inquiries only (I know the next owner would want it that way).


***Call Dave at 515 - 9sevin5 - 25 ate zero and make me an offer!***



More Details:

I bought it in 1995 from a private seller who had bought it in 1977.So it hasn’t been passed around a lot with only two owners in the last 40 years.

Paint (rich but aging with some swirls and chips/cracks, etc.) is not original but car was originally Rally Red.Original door panels, seats, carpet, spinner caps, and more.These things are getting hard to find!


Transmission is believed to be original, differential and engine are not.Originally a big-block 427CID/390HP car, block stamp indicates the engine is a 396 from a 1968 Chevelle. This motor has been in the car as long as I've owned it and probably much longer.


New gas tank/sending unit. New brake master cylinder - I have the original if you want to get it rebuilt. Clock works (with quartz movement - I also have the original). I put a fiberglass leaf spring on it 20 years ago - still have the original.


The frame looks good - just has surface rust.

Headlight motors and power windows work well Newer power antenna goes up/down but is not connected to radio. Radio still works on a.m. stations - but you'll prefer the sound of the big-block!


Owner’s manual is still with the car.Custom-fit car cover and assembly manual included too.

I want to hear from you – call me for more information or with your questions.I’m happy to provide more pictures – we can even Skype or FaceTime a tour of the car!Of course, I encourage you to get to Des Moines, Iowa and inspect the car in person before making an offer.


This car gives you flexibility. Gradually put money into upgrades - or just drive it!
