Chevrolet’s halo vehicle, the Corvette started its journey in 1953. By 1963, the second generation debuted, bringing with it the iconic pop-up headlamps, Stingray tag, and the long nose with short tail styling language. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is an interesting find, as it’s in great condition but packs upgrades beneath the hood. Having undergone a comprehensive restoration six years ago, it’s got just 500 miles since then. It reportedly received a new soft top fifteen years ago, the original hard top is included in the sale, albeit unrestored.
Exterior and Interior
Sporting a red exterior that’s been ceramic coated, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible looks sublime with its Larry Shinoda-penned lines and meaty Michelin 215/70 tires on five-spoke silver 15-inch wheels. The headlamp motors for the iconic quad pop-up headlamps are reported to function, and the insides of the bumpers have been painted with Rustoleum sealant. You’ve got a nice white soft top that contrasts nicely with the red paintwork, and all badging appears in place too. This car was originally a 427 car, and comes with the original 427 Bubble Hood as well. The interior features a black color theme for the two occupants, and sports power windows and Wonderbar radio. The tachometer is said to be electronic, to work with the MSD ignition upgrade. The iconic twin-hooped dash, wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel and chrome-topped gear lever complete a timeless look.
Engine
It’s not usual to find a car where the engine has been downsized from stock, yet that’s what this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible packs in terms of pure displacement. The original 427ci with 4bbl carb engine that was good for 390hp when new has been replaced with a smaller 383ci Stroker V8. It’s got a healthy dose of mods, including MSD ignition, 100 amp aluminum alternator, Vortec heads, Centerforce clutch and 5-speed Tremec manual transmission. Power steering, and power brakes with discs on all four wheels and stainless steel brake lines enhance handling and braking, as do new ball joints as reported. The battery has been moved to the passenger side of the car as well.
The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from the heart of the C2 era, when the Corvette had already matured into a genuinely serious American sports car without losing the raw character that made the Sting Ray famous. This example leans heavily into that character. Showing 19,053 miles, it pairs a 327ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and a four-speed manual transmission, then adds the kind of period-style attitude enthusiasts gravitate toward: side-mount exhaust, knock-off-style turbine wheels, and a vivid Sunfire Yellow finish over a black interior. The current owner reports more than $83,000 invested into the build, with attention extending beyond cosmetics into the cooling system, ignition components, timing hardware, and other supporting mechanical upgrades. What makes this car appealing is that it still delivers the classic C2 experience in the way enthusiasts want it: small-block V8 up front, manual gearbox in the middle, drive going to the rear, and very little standing between the driver and the car. The side pipes give the Corvette a more aggressive presence and soundtrack, while the custom paint and wheel setup emphasize the long-hood, short-deck proportions that made the midyear Corvette one of Chevrolet’s most iconic designs.
By 2008, the C6 Corvette had matured into one of the strongest all-around American performance cars of its era, and this example combines the right mechanical hardware with an unusually extensive equipment list. Showing 50,966 miles, this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is equipped with the desirable 3LT Preferred Equipment Group and Z51 Performance Package, pairing the LS3 V8 with a six-speed manual transmission, 3.42:1 limited-slip rear axle, and dual-mode performance exhaust. It was also specified with the GCA Ultimate Package, adding a collection of appearance upgrades that give this Victory Red Corvette a more distinctive presence than a typical C6. An aftermarket front splitter and audio head unit add further personalization while retaining the fundamental character that makes a manual Z51 C6 such an appealing enthusiast car.
The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible sits at the heart of the early C3 era, pairing dramatic styling with the kind of mechanical specification that made these cars so memorable. Showing approximately 5,672 miles, this example is finished in Monza Red over a Black interior and is equipped with the desirable L46 350ci V8 rated at 350 horsepower. A 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear axle keep the driving experience firmly enthusiast-focused, while power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes add useful road manners. Chrome Rally wheels, a black convertible soft top, and the unmistakable Stingray bodywork give the exterior its period-correct presence, while the cabin retains the classic twin-cowl dash, center console, and auxiliary gauge layout. An aftermarket steering wheel, manual shifter, air cleaner, and JVC audio head unit add a handful of personalized touches without taking away from the car’s classic Corvette character.
This 1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado brings together classic square-body styling with a selection of upgrades that give it a more personalized street-truck character. Showing approximately 70,132 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and 3-speed automatic transmission. Finished in a custom Black and Silver two-tone exterior over a Gray interior, it also features power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, aftermarket wheels, an aftermarket suspension setup, and a center console with cupholders. The result is a distinctly American pickup that keeps the straightforward appeal of the original C10 while adding a cleaner, lower, more customized presentation.
