1966 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 427/390 CONVERTIBLE

A Triple Crown award-winner including top honors from NCRS Bloomington and Chevy VetteFest this fully documented Stingray is a classic with a matching-numbers drivetrain in popular Corvette colors. This Vette earned its Triple Crown moniker by claiming NCRS Top Flight honors Bloomington Gold certification and the coveted Chevy VetteFest Gold Spinner Award. In early 2007 this Corvette was subjected to an exhaustive 1200-hour restoration beyond its factory original aesthetics. The body-off rebuild began with original never-hit fiberglass being stripped completely bare and recoated in correct Rally Red 2-stage paint contrasted by a correct black interior further accented by a Teak steering wheel a correct AM/FM radio and correct optional headrests. Under the hood it boasts a 390hp L36 427ci engine certified original by Bloomington judge Kevin Mackey augmented by a correct Holley carburetor and correct Holley intake. This big block powers an original Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission also certified by Bloomington judge Kevin Mackey. Correct power disc brakes join partially original side pipes to frame a restored factory suspension. At the corners of that suspension authentic knockoffs twist correct 7.75-15 Goodyear Power Cushion gold lines tires. This Corvette includes ample documentation including an original Protect-O-Plate pre-restoration photos restoration photos restoration receipts NCRS judging sheets Bloomington judging sheets and all certificates and awards.
