Finished in one of 1966’s unique paint colors, Laguna Blue, this factory-correct big block Corvette has been accurately restored to its original state. Underneath the fiberglass hood, this numbers matching 427 cubic inch, 390 horsepower Turbojet engine remains one of the most powerful GM blocks ever made. This was the first of four years that the 427 option was available to Corvette, a run that would help define Chevrolet’s flagship at the top of the muscle car kingdom. To match, the convertible has the rare and attractive white and blue interior, correct carpets, AM/FM radio, glove-box, and floor mats. This Muncie 4-speed car also boasts knock-off wheels, whitewall tires, and the rumbling GM-correct sidepipes. With power steering, this mid-year roadster is the ultimate big block driving experience—to be enjoyed, judged, or both.Fast Bullet Points:- 427 cubic inch, 390 horsepower numbers matching engine- One year only factory Laguna Blue colored car, with rare matching blue/white interior- GM Sidepipes- Knock-off wheels- Beautifully restored
