The 1966 Corvette brought little new to the table, with the convertible again dominating the yearly sales by accounting for over 64% of the entire production.
17,762 units left the factory as a convertible, while the coupe was ordered by 9,958 units – 35.92% of the entire production for this year.
One of the convertibles that rolled off the assembly lines in 1966 seeks a new home on eBay, with seller squaregare claiming the vehicle came out of a private collection.
The main selling point of this convertible is how original it continues to be after all these years. It makes sense, considering the car was part of a private collection, but it's still amazing how original the car still is after nearly six decades.
The matching-numbers Chevrolet Corvette is powered by the original 327, which runs and drives great. The owner emphasizes that all numbers match, including the stamped blocked numbers that match the information in the title. The buyer will also get the original factory shifter and the original transmission, which "shifts out very smoothly."
The Corvette allegedly spent many years in storage and was taken out occasionally, which explains its condition and the somewhat low miles. I wouldn't necessarily call the 52K miles on the clock a low mileage, but it's clear this convertible didn't spend much time on the road.
I won't comment much on what the eyes can see, but it's clear this Corvette doesn't need anything. Everything is nearly spotless, so good luck finding something to complain about (and potentially use it for your negotiation skills if you hope to get a better price). Some repairs have already been made, with the previous owner installing a new clutch and pressure plate. A new aluminum radiator was installed last year.
The garage in charge of finding a new owner for this gorgeous Corvette posted the vehicle online as part of an auction, but they also configured a reserve. It's unclear how high the bidding must go to trigger the reserve, but the $20K offer didn't meet it. The Internet must do better to give this Corvette a second chance, and I don't expect it to sell below $50K, especially considering how original it is.
The vehicle is currently parked in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and the auction will end in approximately six days, so you know what you have to do if you want to see it in person. The sellers claim they can also arrange shipping. Interested buyers are encouraged to come inspect the vehicle in person, including the undersides – the sellers emphasize they put the Corvette on a lift on several occasions and couldn't find any accident damage, with the body still solid, straight, and not exhibiting any previous repair signs.
