1966 Small Block Corvette Coupe - A/C, Powerglide - Clean California Driver - Over $55k in receipts
Up for sale is my one of a kind beautiful and clean 1966 Small Block - Air Conditioned, Powerglide Coupe .I am confident you will find without a doubt that this is one of the finest, highest quality nut and bolt restoration on the market. If you would like to own a piece of C2 history or just a safe place to put your money - look no further. This is a clean '66 that has spent most of its life in the dry California climate.
I purchased this beauty in 2013 from a local aerospace parts manufacturing company owner who kept it inside a climate controlled warehouse and obsessed over every detail of the car.I am an engineer & love this just as much. It's kept in a clean warehouse and driven on weekends down Pacific Coast Highway. I take it to local shows and meets where it is very well received.Almost every time I take it out, someone comes up to me to tell me their "Corvette story" and how much they admire this car.
It's a great driver and runs and drives very well. A close examination of the car will show that it has been lovingly cared for and has an amazing level of detail in the quality and originality of the build. Everything works, from the major components, down to the dome light - everything including the clock which very rarely works in mid-year Corvettes.The AC blows cold. The glass is clear and free from chipsand the trim and molding is in great condition. The fiberglass spare tire protector is included.
The previous owner replaced the engine, glass and had the paint and interior restoration professionally completed in the mid 2000's.Corvette Mike in Orange, CA completed the restoration in 2008-09. Records documenting over $55,000 of work by Corvette Mike are included as well as the repairs I had completed in 2013 including air conditioning recharge, distributor & carburetor replacement. Original 1960's black California plates are included. Please see the pictures which show some of the documentation, VIN plate, engine stamping & other details.
Although this is not a show car, I am confident you will find this coupe as mechanically sound and gorgeous as any C2 available anywhere! The photos are as thorough as possible and I did my best to show everything including minor flaws.However, an in-person viewing would give the justice that this one of a kind Jewel deserves. I hope the next owner enjoys it as much as I do. The reason I am selling is because I am downsizing.
