1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Current Ask
$89,999

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.

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.
