If there ever is a car with every generation considered desirable, the Chevrolet Corvette is a prime candidate. Each of its eight generations enjoy a firm fan base, with many aspiring to own and drive a Corvette at some stage of their life. It is truly America’s Sports Car. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is from the Larry Shinoda-designed C2 or second generation, and has received a heart transplant, plus the current seller has spent about $12k to get it in the shape you see here. It’s been professionally looked after and is claimed to be the perfect platform for a new restoration, or to be enjoyed as-is. The seller is unsure of the car’s originality and matching numbers, but that’s not an issue for many Corvette aficionados.
Clothed in a maroon paintwork, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible showcases the iconic lines of the C2 with the added benefit of open-topped motoring at will, and its removable hardtop is included in the sale for those days when you prefer things buttoned up. Those iconic pop-up headlamps, boat-tail styling, period correct wheels and side exhausts with silver exhaust pipe guards are all present and correct on this ‘Vette, and appear to be in decent condition from the photos. Step aboard into the black two-seat interior and it’s not factory fresh, but has worn well for its age. The twin-cowled dashboard, an iconic Corvette styling cue is present, as are all gauges, push-button radio, chrome gear lever and wood rimmed steering wheel bearing the Chevrolet flags at the center. An Auto Guardian security system keypad is visible in the passenger side of the dash, but we’re unsure of its functionality.
There were plenty of V8 engine options offered on the C2, from a 327ci small-block to a 427ci big-block, but this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible eschews the factory offerings for a reported 350ci (5.7L) crate engine V8, which drives the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Whether you choose to retain this engine or change it is up to you, but being a proper burbly V8, keeping it isn’t a bad idea.
