1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for sale. Motorcar Classics is now selling this well-known, awesome Big Tank 1966 Corvette 427/425 coupe. This car was a long-time part of the don Davis Collection and was last sold at auction to the current owner, our client, for $220,000. This car features the 425 bhp, 427 cu. in. L72 V-8 engine with Holley four-barrel carburetor, four-speed Muncie close-ratio manual transmission, four-wheel independent suspension, and J56 heavy-duty, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. Wheelbase: 98 in. It is the ultimate 1966 Corvette: 427/425 V-8, four-speed, Big Tank, heavy-duty brakes, side exhaust, and radio/heater delete. All numbers match. It has won NCRS Top Flight, Bloomington Gold, and Vettefest Gold Spinner Award winner, the Triple Crown
The first owner of this 1966 Corvette obviously sought speed. From the laundry list of Regular Production Options, they selected first the L72, the 427-cubic inch big block V-8 with a Holley four-barrel carburetor. When it debuted for 1966, this engine was rated at 450 horsepower. Shortly thereafter, Chevrolet downgraded the engine to 425 horsepower, which worked to calm insurance industry figures who had worked themselves into a lather over the 450 rating. Other selections for this car included such options as J56, heavy-duty racing-style brakes; N14, a side-mounted exhaust; and N03, a 36-gallon fuel tank. The latter was fittingly installed on only 66 Corvettes in 1966, and it was clearly intended for racing, when having additional fuel capacity was an advantage. It is among the desired options on a big block Corvette today, and owning a Big Tank car adds instant prestige to any Corvette enthusiast. Further indicating the performance intentions of its first owner, this car was ordered with radio and heater delete.
Everything you want on a hot Corvette is here. The engine pad number is matching the chassis number, which appears to identify this clearly as being a matching-numbers car. It has been restored to the best of standards, with paint, interior, and carpeting that are, as is typical of restored St. Louis-built Corvettes, actually better than what these cars had when they left the factory. Yet, the restored car is authentic enough to please the judges, earning its NCRS Top Flight, Bloomington Gold, and Vettefest Gold Spinner honors, known as the famed Corvette Triple Crown.
The body is in excellent condition, with outstanding panel fit on both sides. The interior is correct and presents beautifully, with correct carpeting and virtually no wear. Underneath and under the hood, all correct fittings and finishes are present and appear fresh out of the restoration shop, never to have been driven on the road. This is truly an investment-grade Corvette.
