$83,000.00
Description
This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette was originally purchased from Dippel Brothers Motor Company of Archbald, Pennsylvania, and was acquired by the current owner on BaT in October 2021. The car is powered by a numbers-matching 427ci L36 V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and it is refinished in red over black. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, a white soft top, a removable red hardtop, seats with headrests, 15″ turbine-style wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, and an AM/FM radio.
The fiberglass body was factory-finished in Rally Red (974) and refinished under previous ownership, reportedly around 2013. Features include a body-color removable hardtop, a white convertible soft top, a domed hood, flip-up headlights, chrome bumpers, fender vents, a driver-side mirror, a side-exit exhaust system, and a retractable antenna.
Reproduction 15″ turbine-style wheels are fitted with three-eared spinners and Goodyear Regatta white-stripe tires. The C2 was the first Corvette to offer fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs.
