The Story
A beautifully executed take on one of Chevrolet’s most iconic body styles, this 1966 Corvette Convertible has been transformed into a world-class custom with show-quality craftsmanship, modern performance and only 142 miles since completion. Blending the unmistakable lines of the second-generation Corvette with state-of-the-art engineering, this Corvette delivers the look of a mid-’60s classic with the performance, reliability and comfort expected from a contemporary high-end build.
Finished in Stunning Metallic Silver, the body sits on a Jamieson tubular chassis designed to dramatically improve ride quality, rigidity and handling. Adjustable coilovers, 4-wheel disc brakes and a Wilwood master cylinder ensure modern stopping and road manners, while C7-style 19-inch wheels give the car an aggressive stance without compromising its vintage heritage. Side-mounted exhaust adds the perfect period touch while providing the unmistakable sound of American performance.
Under the hood is the heart of the build: a fuel-injected LS2 6.0L/400 HP V-8 fitted with Holley Chevrolet two-piece valve covers and backed by a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission—a combination that delivers smooth, modern power with the engagement enthusiasts expect from a proper driver’s car. Inside, the cabin is finished in red leather, complemented by Dakota Digital gauges, a Vintage Air system and excellent fit and finish throughout. A striking, low-mile, professionally built custom, this Corvette offers everything collectors and drivers admire: iconic design, contemporary performance and high-end craftsmanship in one exceptional package.
