$145,000 · 1966 Convertible Chevrolet Corvette 427

In 1963 Corvette was a brand new and out of the box design that has stood the test of time as one of the most elegant american muscle cars to have ever been produced. With its second generation, C2 body, frame and suspension, Chevrolet had created a new sophisticated sports/muscle car. With an upgraded chassis design these cars handled the road with a new level of comfort and performance. In 1965 there was another new milestone for the Corvette, a big block engine. After trying the 396 in 65, Chevrolet decided to go all out and install the 427 big block in 66. This engine was sold as a 425HP engine for insurance reasons at the time. But rumour had it, these engines produced around 550HP right out of the Factory. -Real knock off wheels -4 Wheel disc Brakes -427 L72 engine Numbers matching -Muncie 4 Speed transmission numbers matching -Teak wood Steering wheel -Sidepipes -Extensive recent engine build -New clutch with engine rebuild -Hard top -Soft top with very good rear window -Comes with a period purchased repair manual This beautiful example of a First year 427 Convertible has some very rare options.
