The exterior on the car was refinished by its original owner sometime in the late 80's. The factory can-am white paint was replaced by a two-tone blue and purple custom job featuring hot pink accents. Overall the coating on the car is in decent shape for the age however chips, cracking and assorted imperfections can be seen around the car in the photos. This car has just over 98k miles and was continually used throughout its life. The current coating makes this car a stand out at any meet or lends itself to being a strong candidate for cosmetic restoration. The appearance of the car is accentuated by a set of western wheel turbines wrapped in BFG radials and adorned with knock-off caps. This vette also comes with a factory hardtop!

The interior is finished in its original color of blue and shows very well considering the age and miles. This interior appears to me to be all original with exception to a replacement dash pad and a pillar panels. The seats have no tares and few ware spots. Both door panels, console, dash and carpet are very good condition. The black steering wheel is complimented by a corvette center button and frames a 160mph speedometer and tach. All gauges, switches are functional. The radio also works great! I do strongly believe this is a true 98k mile car judging by existing interior and exterior components.

Mechanically, this little Stingray runs great. The 427ci V8 is a very fast motor and this Vette FLYS! The engine fires right up and has benefitted from a recent carb overhaul. The 4 speed manual goes into all gears without issue and the clutch engagement is confident. The engine compartment was cleaned and reconditioned with attention to detail. This car needs nothing and is ready to cruise on a sunny day or hot summer night.

All in all, this is one very clean and well done '66 Corvette. Take a look at the price range many of these 427ci 435hp Sting Rays are selling mid $70K range. This is everything that those cars are without the huge price tag. This car is a great example of a solid driver and or potential for restoration. Corvettes are one of the most coveted and widely collected vehicles on the market today, and with this Stingray you can't go wrong.
