1966 Chevrolet Corvette. This numbers-matching car is powered by a 427/425 hp V8 engine (casting #3869942, T102 IP) with a Holley 4901 4-barrel carburetor (casting #3247A) on a stock GM high-rise intake. The engine is paired with a Muncie 4-speed fully synchronized manual transmission (casting #3885010) and a 3.55:1 posi rear end. The car features correct power 4-wheel disc brakes, coil-over suspension with aftermarket KYB shocks, and manual steering.
The exterior is finished in correct Silver Pearl (code 986) with one repaint, showcasing a classic and timeless look. It rides on newer 215/70-15 raised white letter BFG TA tires mounted on steel wheels with correct spinner hubcaps. The factory-correct side pipe exhaust starts with correct manifolds and delivers a distinctive note, especially under acceleration.
The interior features original restored black leather bucket seats with a full console and factory shifter. The cabin includes a correct black leather upholstery, an original AM radio in the dash, and all original instruments in proper working condition, including the original 7000 RPM tachometer with a 6500 redline. All trim is in great shape, and the car offers a comfortable and authentic driving experience.
The suspension and brakes have been fully serviced, ensuring excellent drivability. There are minor typical cracks at the corners of the headlight openings, but these are consistent with age and do not detract from the car's overall condition.
This Corvette is a rare and desirable example of a numbers-matching, high-horsepower mid-year Vette, combining performance, authenticity, and drivability. Ready to be enjoyed on the road or at shows, it’s an excellent choice for any collector or enthusiast.
