1966 Corvette Air Coupe on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
1966 Corvette Air Coupe
I recent purchased this
Corvette from a gentleman in Florida who had owned it for over 20 years. I had planned on keeping it for at least a
couple of years but as we all know, plans do change. I am going in a different direction and since
I only have a two car garage, the Corvette will be sold. The Corvette is in amazing
condition considering the time that has gone by since a frame-off restoration
was done. It was restored in the
mid-nineties but has only been driven an average of 450 miles per year. There is an extensive amount of documentation
on the car covering the past 21 years. For several years the car
was on the NCRS show circuit capturing Top Flight, Regional Awards, and
Bloomington Gold. After finishing with
the shows, the original numbers matching 327/300 HP engine was removed and replaced
with a period correct 327/365 HP engine.
The original engine (which had approximately 4700 miles on it since being
rebuilt) was stored for future use. According
to the previous owner, the 327/365 HP engine (which is what is in the car now)
is a low mileage engine. Records
indicate that only approximately 2000 miles have been put on it since being
installed. The original engine, along
with an original set of Kelsey Hayes steel wheels and beautiful original
spinner hubcaps are included with the vehicle.
The original engine and wheels will allow the new owner to bring the car
back to the way it rolled off of the assembly line, if he/she so desires. However, they just might agree with the previous
owner that it looks much nicer the way it is currently set-up. Some of the factory installed
options are Power Steering, Tinted Glass, four speed standard transmission and factory
A/C. The factory AC makes this an all season
driver, and an extremely nice driver it is.
It will be hard to find another Corvette as nice as this one. As they say a picture is worth
a thousand words, so please look them over and I’m sure you are going to have questions
so please do not hesitate to call. PLEASE
NOTE: If you are a Nevada resident,
there is no sales tax on a vehicle purchased from a private individual. This will save you almost $5000 over one
purchased from a dealer. I have a free
and clear title to the car. This car is almost fifty
years old and is being sold as is where is.
I will not be responsible for any
repairs after the purchase has been completed. The car is available for inspection
by appointment only. The Corvette may be advertised
in other venues. Therefore, I reserve
the right to cancel the auction prior to the car meeting the reserve. |

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
