Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this stunning and completely numbers matching 1966 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible in absolutely beautiful condition with only 29,140 original miles. It looks amazing, runs great, and is an excellent driver that is ready to be enjoyed. It is priced to sell, always turns heads, and gets a TON of attention going down the road. The car is finished in the beautiful and highly desirable color combination of Trophy Blue (980) over Blue (418). Please peruse all of the photos, numbers, video, and information below to get a true sense of how nice, clean, and striking this Corvette really is. I have personally put over 50 miles on this Sting Ray recently. The car was flawlessly reliable with absolutely no issues at all and was a true pleasure to drive. This Corvette comes with an NCRS Shipping Date Report showing the car was sold new at Richard Chevrolet in Freeport, NY, a reproduction window sticker, and the owner's manual which are pictured in this ad. This Corvette is "Numbers Matching" meaning that the engine and transmission on the car are the correct and original units that were installed new at the factory in St. Louis in 1966. Detailed parts like the distributor, expansion tank, and even all of the window glass is all correct and original. The last six digits of the VIN are stamped on the engine pad, which is pictured in this ad, and the engine is original to the car. The transmission is also original with the last six digits of the VIN stamped on the main case and pictured. We have this car priced to sell and are offering an excellent opportunity to own a very desirable Corvette at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on C2 Corvettes is very hot right now and on the rise, especially for low mileage and nice examples like this car. The low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title, pictured in this ad, showing the mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video, list of numbers, and other information to get a true sense of how nice, clean, and original this Corvette really is. As a side note, this Corvette is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call.Exterior The Trophy Blue exterior is in very nice driver condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has a dazzling gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely. The chrome looks great overall with no pitting. The convertible top is in excellent condition with no holes, tears, or frayed edges. The rear window is not yellowed or foggy. The wheels and correct 1966 hubcaps are in excellent condition with a nice finish and no curb rash. The white wall tires look great on the car, they are sized 215/70R15 and are literally brand new with less than 10 miles on them. There are some very tiny blemishes in the paint around the car that were too faint to show up in photos, but nothing that is really noticeable from about five feet away. As one can see in the many photos of the underside of the car, it is very clean underneath. The car has absolutely no rust issues at all. The frame looks completely solid and we have included specific photos of the areas most prone to rust to show how nice this car looks. Window Date Codes Please note that ALL the glass on this car, the windshield, side windows, and even both vent windows are date coded and original as each piece predates the car's body build date of March 8, 1966 (H08). Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage.Interior The Blue interior of the Corvette is in outstanding condition. The seats look just as nice in person as they do in the photos with no holes, splits, or excessive wear. They are not worn in the typical area where the driver gets in and out. The carpet is in nice condition with no rips or holes. The chrome and other brightwork inside the car has a terrific finish and looks great. The gauge faces are nice and clean and the lenses are crisp and clear. The AM-FM radio gets good reception and most importantly the dash has never been cut or modified for an aftermarket installation. The power antenna works well. The door panels are in great condition, fit to the door well, the door pulls are solid, and there no cracks on the arm pad. The dash and console are in nice condition overall with no fading or sun damage, there are couple tiny hairline cracks, but as one can see in the photos it is hardly noticeable. Both seat belts work and retract properly. This is a common problem on Corvettes and an issue many buyers do not think to check. This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes at all. Corvette interiors from this era are not known to wear well, especially for a convertible, and the excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life and another great verification of the very low original mileage.Mechanical This Corvette seems to be in good mechanical condition. As stated above I have personally driven the car over 50 miles recently with no problem at all. The numbers matching engine starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. It drives great on the road and at highway speeds. In the video below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there are no strange noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. This Corvette has plenty of power and is quite fast. The Wilwood brakes do not pull to one side or the other. The shifter is tight, it does not pop out of gear, and the clutch feels good. The car runs cool and does not overheat. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. The gauge shows that the engine makes great oil pressure. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, correct and complete as one can see in the photos. Even the ignition shielding and original valve covers are still in place. The horn works as do all the exterior lights, dash lights, radio, indicators, power antenna, and wipers. The blower for the heater works on all speeds. Even the glove box light works. The modern white wall radial tires also greatly improve the driving experience while maintaining a vintage look. All of the gauges work and the clock runs sporadically. The headlights and brights work and the lights come up, which is a very common problem on C2 Corvettes. One can observe the lights being raised and lowered twice in the video. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with 4-speed transmission and the top down.Overall Condition Overall, this 1966 Corvette is in excellent condition. The beautiful original color combination and the very low miles make this Sting Ray particularly desirable and hard to duplicate. Numbers matching is very important in the Corvette market and in Corvette pricing and as one can see this car is very correct. We have this Corvette priced to sell. Mid-year (C2) Corvettes are, and will continue to be, the most collectable and desirable Corvette generation. Of the mid-years the 1965-67 models always draw a premium and drive so much better due to the 4 wheel disk brakes and better driving experience. The value of these cars has gone up in recent years. They are secure and wise investments for a collector. This Corvette always gets a ton of attention driving down the road and is ready to be enjoyed. It is very apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort. Other sellers are not taking the time to show the car is in such great detail to give you all of the numbers, options, photos, and video. As stated above, numbers matching is extremely important in Corvette pricing, especially for an exceptional example like this car, and will become even more important as time passes and this car becomes older and even more rare. This information is very valuable and important for pricing. Any perspective buyer, for any of our vehicles or from other sellers, should ask for all the numbers and information before he or she makes a purchase.
