What’s special about this listing

1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible — 427/425hp, Frame-Off Restored, Numbers-Matching Drivetrain

A rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored example of Chevrolet’s 1966 performance icon. Powered by the legendary 427 cubic-inch V8 rated at 425 horsepower with a 4-barrel carburetor, this Corvette delivers the thrust, sound, and engagement that defined an era—equally at home on a the track or a backroad.

Key Highlights:

Numbers-matching 427/425hp V8, VIN-stamped for authenticity
Full frame-off restoration completed to outstanding standards
Desirable factory options: side exhaust, knock-off wheels, power windows
Convertible—widely regarded as the most sought-after body style
Finished in Rally Red over Black vinyl
Final assembly date: November 15, 1966
Arizona history; approximately 300 miles since restoration

Provenance & Condition Originally assembled on November 15, 1966, this Rally Red convertible spent much of its life in Arizona before undergoing a comprehensive, frame-off restoration with a focus on correctness and quality. Its original, VIN-stamped engine confirms authenticity. The car presents exceptionally well, with crisp detailing, proper finishes, and tight panel fit. Mechanical systems were fully refreshed, resulting in a Corvette that starts easily, idles cleanly, and pulls hard through the rev range. It has been exercised thoughtfully, attending select cruise nights and shows, and has covered only about 300 miles since completion.

Driving Experience The 427/425hp L72 delivers immediate, period-correct power with a muscular exhaust note through the side pipes. Steering is communicative, the chassis feels tight, and the car rewards precise inputs—exactly what enthusiasts seek in a mid-year Corvette.

Why This Corvette??
Top-spec powertrain with the most coveted options
Numbers-matching credibility backed by restoration quality
Desirable color combination and convertible configuration
Turnkey show-and-drive example with minimal mileage since completion
