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.
