Chevrolet Corvette 1966 Description
This car was owned by my father who unexpectedly passed away. He was a mid-year Corvette enthusiast – and took great pride in caring for and driving this car. His goal was to own an amazing, eriod correct, umbers matching original car that could be driven on a regular basis and he could maintain and take care of as well as turn heads wherever he went!

This 1966 L72 has all the bells and whistles. Wood steering wheel, djustable steering column, otorized antennae, ide pipes, m/fm stereo, orking clock and much more. All believed to be original.
It is kept in our garage under a nice cover at all times. We burn 50% 110 octaneSunocoleaded race gas and 50% hightest gas. This mixture was recommended by our mechanic. Since taking ownership of the car from my fathers estate we have put no more than 100 miles on the car.
The car comes with the hardtop – restored last year and used very very few times. The hard top is stored indoors and not used.
Seats are red leather, have the original red vinyl seats.
