Overview

Finished in classic Mosport Green over Black, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible offers unmistakable street presence and with well-executed enthusiast upgrades. Beneath its Black-stripe stinger hood sits a 427ci V8 rated at 390 horsepower (NOM), delivering authoritative performance with refreshed Powerglide automatic shifting. Side-mount exhaust completes the classic big-block look and sound alongside Turbine wheels with knock-off spinners wrapped in new BFGoodrich Goldline radial tires.

The interior has been appropriately refurbished with leather seat upholstery, new carpeting, and a new convertible top, striking an ideal balance between preservation and functional period updates. A Delco AM/FM push-button radio completes cabin amenities of the era. Modern usability has been discreetly enhanced with Holley Sniper electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), complemented by a new fuel tank, pump, filter, and fuel lines. On the ground, performance improvements add 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes, providing confident stopping power powertrain upgrades.

A well-sorted example, this C2 presents ready for road use—whether extended trips or weekend drives. Evocative midcentury styling and versatile upgrades below the surface combine here for the Corvette devotee seeking a drive to remember. Factory literature, service records, a car cover, and more accompany the sale.
