PURCHASED IN 2008 FOR $68,900 (We have old bill of sale)
Born February 28th, 1966, this Corvette started out Rally Red and appears to have lived a happy life driving through the suburbs. Fortunately, it wasn't put to pasture in the show circuit! This '66 shed it's Rally Red exterior to become the fire breathing animal it is today!! Finished in Competition Yellow, this Stingray looks fast even when it's sitting still. The odometer shows 7,500 miles. Based on the condition of this custom restoration we believe this to be true.
This appears to be a more recent restoration based on our inspection and while it looks fantastic the paintwork is not 100% perfect. It shows some dry spots, pot marks, and sanding imprints that we tried to display in the pictures. Nothing you wouldn't expect from a custom hot rod. The chrome, trim, glass, and britework all look excellent. The paint appears to be a 2 stage yellow that shows very nicely and only has some minor blemishes throughout. We did notice that the hood color is a shade different than the rest of the car. This is probably due to a post restoration hood swap and simply not getting the color tinted correctly. The hood, bumpers, trim and handles all fit properly. The car shows no signs of major prior body repairs as far as we can see. The door mesh is tight as they line up very nicely and close crisply. The rubber glass trim shows some drying but appears to be watertight and still capable of serving its purpose. Based on the rust free patina on the nuts and bolts we believe this car has been stored inside since restored. The body appears to have minimal filler on it and overall shows nicely.
Inward the seats were treated to custom black leather with yellow inserts and piping, as well as black carpeting with yellow pipping covering the floors. The dashboard received a complete makeover of Auto Meter Phantom gauges and dials, all to keep an eye on engine vitals. The original knobs, switches, and radio are all retained in factory locations but the radio isn't functional. A new Alpine CD player hides in the glove box, ready to rock. The stock steering wheel was replaced with a custom Budnic aluminum setup. The car has power windows that function properly. As far as we can see all interior features work. The headliner and roof both show nicely and the interior DOES NOT smell of 1966.
What makes this Corvette unlike any other is the fuel injected LS1 that resides under the hood. This was a custom build from front to back, including everything from the cooling system to the steering system to the transmissio. The car appears modified to handle the extra power and parts associated with the conversion. This car has power steering and power brakes. The Edelbrock headers connect to a true dual custom stainless steel exhaust system with a pair of mufflers in the rear. The brakes appear in like new condition with full meat on the pads and minimal rotor wear. The car appears to have had all new suspension bushings that appear to be in good shape. We note a set of Bilstein shocks on the rear. We picked the car up with mismatched wheels and tires so, with the courts permission, we outfitted it with a brand new set of American Racing wheels and brand new Kumho tires. The car has an automatic transmission which appears to be out of a late model LS1 equipped vehicle. *We have noted a small coolant leak on the drivers side radiator fins. We also have had to charge the battery after it sat for a while so it may be in need of replacing in the near future.
The underside of this car is near show quality. The rails appear solid and straight and the hardware shows minimal rusting. Please view all pictures carefully.
We estimate the costs of this build to have been over $80,000 when new completed, based on the equipment and quality of work. Although this car starts right up and appears to run, drive, and shift well, it will need to be thoroughly inspected before hitting the road because it has been sitting in storage for an unknown period of time.
Don't miss your chance to own this truly unique and custom hot rod!
