1966 Chevrolet Corvette --

This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette is a numbers-matching, air-conditioned stunner. The second generation (C2) is arguably the most desirable coupe body, and when it's this bright and sounds this good, it makes for a classic that creates envy at every stoplight. Red Corvettes are always in fashion, but the gloss of the factory-correct 988 code Milano Maroon gives this coupe an upscale appearance that sets it apart. In fact, the whole presentation really has a nice feeling of a well-respected life.... Averaging only around 1,200 miles annually, this retains all its original panels, and they continue to line up sharply. It's great, right down to the details like the mirror shine of the chrome bumpers and the headlight doors fitting flush to the body. Plus, this has some great performance minded upgrades, including the addition of the stinger hood to the growling side pipes. So it has the right intimidating first impression a good Corvette should always make. The black paint on the hood is not only a distinctive touch, but also a preview of the color inside. The C2 interior is always a favorite in classic car circles. The dual cowl design of the dash is sporty and iconic. A woodgrained steering wheel feels great, transmitting the front tires' activities directly to your fingertips, and all the gauges show crisp markings that let you keep an eye on the engine's status. A factory AM/FM radio lives in the center stack, showing off its unique vertical orientation. And yes, even the clock works! This one even has power windows, which goes nicely with the upgraded R134a air conditioning. That way you can easily power down the windows and enjoy the breezes of the open road without breaking a sweat. Under the hood is a great looking numbers-matching small-block V8 that has the right amount of chrome and Chevy Orange to really pop in the engine bay. You can tell there has been a lot of money spent in new components and maintenance keeping this one beautiful. Topped with a correct Holley four-barrel carburetor, this 327 cubic-inch engine was rated at a robust 300 horsepower. The fully-independent sports suspension makes the Sting Ray one of the best handlers from the era. Plus, this one really is built for grand touring comfort with power steering, a Powerglide automatic transmission, and power brakes featuring discs at all four corners. There's even an upgrade to an aluminum radiator so this one remains cool even when you're idling with the A/C running. Complete with owner's manual, maintenance receipts, and title documentation, you already know numbers matching C2 Corvettes are always in demand. This one also just happens to have the right factory correct colors in a well-maintained package. So where you see value, the rest of the world will just see a beautiful maroon American icon.
