1966 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1966 Corvette roadster has a story to tell. The Stingray was featured in an episode of Hagerty's 'Barn Find Hunters', a long running TV show hosted by Tom Cotter. Tom and his crew brought this Corvette barn-find back to life. The Stingray was not cosmetically restored, but many of the mechanicals have been gone through. This is a 'Project Car' that deserves your consideration.

Modified Solid Fiberglass Body-

The roadster's fiberglass body is in overall good condition The stock appearance has been slightly modified in ways that were common back in the day. In the 1960s, Zora Duntov campaigned factory sponsored Corvettes against Ford's Cobra in the Trans-AM Racing Series. The wheel openings of this Ruby Red Stingray have been modified with flares to match the appearance of those Corvette Grand Sport race cars. A raised hood similar to a '427 Stinger Hood' has also been installed. This Corvette sits on period-correct 15” American Racing alloy wheels. The interior is basically intact, but needs TLC. The black leather upholstery is worn, but the dash, gauges, console and other elements are all intact. A rare fiberglass hardtop is fitted to the roadster. There is also a manual soft top folded in the bonnet.

Built 327ci Small Block with 4-Speed-

Under the hood, the 327ci small-block is equipped with an single plane aluminum intake, Holley double-pumper carb, alloy valve covers, flex fan and tube headers to a side-pipe exhaust. The motor is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission w/Hurst shifter. The chassis features manual steering, manual 4-wheel disc brakes, coil spring front suspension and transverse spring rear suspension.

This '66 Corvette Stingray will need attention, but it is a legend in the making.
