Overview of 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible For Sale by Owner

Chevrolet cemented the “Americas Sports Car” name in the early 60s, and that was when they were still in their first generation of the Corvette. With the Corvette currently in its eighth generation, it is definitely not going anywhere anytime soon. What truly made Corvette what it is today was the second-generation Chevrolet Corvette when it was produced from 1963 to 1967, incidentally, the Sting Ray model was introduced in 1963 for the Chevrolet Corvette C2. It can be argued that the second generation is the most highly collectible. Up for grabs is a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible with a restoration done in 1990.

Exterior and Interior

This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is finished off in the gorgeous Sunfire Yellow paint. The Corvette features a long nose with quad headlamps hidden in a rotating housing which blended perfectly with the sharp-edge front end when the lights are closed. Fun fact, the hidden headlamp design would continue until 2005 with the Corvette sixth-generation car. It also features an egg-crate grille, a departure from the chrome horizontal bars. The hood features the ‘Corvette Sting Ray” logo in the corner, and bulging hood with vents on the side. Dual exhausts in chrome are visible on the sides. The rear features quad taillights along with a two-part chrome rear bumper. The soft-top is finished off in black. Acting as its shoes, are a set of Chevrolet Corvette OEM vintage wheels. Black is treated for the interior with many chrome parts were strewn about. The centerpiece is the 3-spoke vintage wood and aluminum steering wheel. It is reported that a new radio has been installed, while the original radio is included with the sale.

Engine

The C2 Chevrolet Corvette was offered in a multitude of engine options ranging from the 327cu 5.4L Small-Block V8 to the massive 427cu 7.0L Big-Block V8. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is equipped with the 7.0L Big-Block V8 Turbo-Jet engine with the Holley four-barrel carburetor and mated to a 4 speed manual transmission. Chevrolet rated the car at 425hp of power and 460 lb.ft of torque. Stopping power is courtesy of four-wheel disc brakes

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
