Finished in its classic Nassau Blue over a black interior, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is powered by the highly desirable L79 327 cubic-inch V8 producing 350 horsepower and paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Equipped with a limited-slip differential, this C2 Corvette delivers the kind of spirited performance that made the mid-year Sting Rays legendary.
Originally sold in June 1966 through Bast Chevrolet in Seaford, New York, this Corvette is reported to have undergone a restoration in the early 2000s. The timeless Nassau Blue paint, black interior, and white convertible top create one of the most attractive and recognizable color combinations offered during the C2 era.
Adding to its authenticity, the engine pad is stamped 123859, matching the last six digits of the vehicle's serial plate, indicating the engine is original to the car. The engine also carries the HT suffix, identifying it as the desirable L79 327/350-horsepower V8 equipped with a factory 4-speed manual transmission.
Factory features include:
The white convertible top was replaced in 2019. More recent maintenance includes the installation of a new battery and a new set of BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial Goldline tires in 2025, preserving the car's period-correct appearance while enhancing drivability.
The five-digit odometer currently displays approximately 84,000 miles. However, the title is branded "Not Actual Mileage," and the vehicle's total mileage is unknown.
The 1966 model year remains one of the most sought-after of the C2 Corvettes, combining iconic Sting Ray styling with exceptional small-block performance. The L79 350-horsepower engine is widely regarded as one of Chevrolet's finest high-performance small blocks, offering an outstanding balance of power, drivability, and collectibility.
With its documented original selling dealer, desirable factory drivetrain, matching engine stamp, attractive color combination, and thoughtful upkeep, this 1966 Corvette Convertible represents an outstanding opportunity to own one of Chevrolet's most iconic sports cars.
