"1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
In 1966, 27,720 Corvettes were built and of them, 17,762 of them were convertibles.� 6,100 total cars were colored Nassau Blue and 7,591 of the total cars had 4-speed manual transmissions.� As you can see, Corvettes are some of the most well documented cars in American history and have had an enthusiastic following since 1953.� The 1966 is among the favorites of the C2's, the second generation of the model now in its eighth iteration.��
For consignment, a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible showing 14,757 miles which are not actual.� This American legend has a numbers matching drivetrain, owned by our consignor and his wife for 25 years and purchased as a promise made prior to the couple's 1966 wedding, a dream fulfilled some time later, and driven only occasionally, top down, in successful efforts to feel youthful joy.��
Exterior
Nassau of course is the capital city of the Bahamas and the water color is accurately depicted on this car.� The Bahamas are home to 40 species of sharks and so it's fitting that this Sting Ray has a shark-like shape.� A nose that's pointed, a hump that adds height like a dorsal fin and reappears on the trunk lid, vertical side gills, and a tail that tapers to a point, streamlining the air just like a shark's tail slipstreams through water.� In profile, the vented heat shield of the side pipes vies for some attention and gets it, flanked by 15-inch wheels with knock-off hubs and white wall tires. �Overhead, the white canvas soft top is in great shape, showing some typical blemishing but fully intact with clear plastic rear window. �Metalwork that includes window frames, door handles, mirror, gas cap, light rings, and emblems are all in immaculate condition.� Imperfections in the paint include some unevenness at the rocker panel, a scratch on the edge of a character line and another one touched up just above it. �There's also a slight gap issue on a corner of the hood, but most onlookers won't notice.�
Interior
Blue coverage continues on the inside where Bright Blue door panels wear brushed nickel hardware and beyond the metal sills we find bucket seats in blue vinyl, taut and clean with rib patterned inserts.� The walnut 3 spoke steering wheel leads to the infamous coved gauge pod with symmetrical circles, two large units flanked by two small ones on each side.� The plastic and gauge faces show slight patina but are in great condition, as is the center stack in Nassau blue and housing a rather elaborate analog clock and the vertically mounted radio.� The double hump dash repeats in front of the passenger with only the arched door of the glove box in front.� A clean center console sports a few love chips and is home to a standard chrome shifter with reverse finger hooks that transform the shifter into a set of brass knuckles when it's time to back up.� Blue loop carpet fills the foot wells, covers the back cargo area and shows some slight discoloration and a stain in back, but is fully intact.�
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the numbers matching 327ci L79 V8 rated at 350 horsepower and topped with a 4-barrel carburetor, tied to the numbers matching M20 Muncie 4-speed manual transmission.� Power is routed to the rear axle where the March 9th, 1966 stamping indicates 3.70 gears with Positraction.� Disc brakes are supplied to the front and rear wheels.�
Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath with typical age discoloration, surface rust, and missing paint on the orange oil pan, where we also note a drop of oil by the plug.� The dual exhaust leaves the engine and makes a quick beeline to the side where spent gas travels through chambered pipes.� Coil springs are up front and transverse strut rods, torque control arms, and a transverse leaf spring makes up suspension in the back.�
Drive-Ability
We prime the carburetor with a tap or two of the gas, turn the key, and the 327 turns over without hesitation, bellowing from the sides in a symphony of exhaust notes as satisfying to the ears as a Mama Cass on 1966's California Dreamin'.� The car has good acceleration, tracks straight, and shifts smoothly.� The plethora of gauges and all other functions work as they should on this very nice vintage Corvette.� While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
What's not to love here?� Convertible.� Nassau blue.� 327.� And did we mention numbers matching drivetrain?� This beauty is ready for its next adventures with a new steward.� If you're looking to get your kicks in a '66, and a classic Corvette has been on your wish list for a while, this fine example should be on your radar.� Add ""call Classic Auto Mall"" on your list of things to do today.�
