duPont REGISTRY Live presents this beautifully restored 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in Trophy Blue over a Black vinyl interior and equipped with its numbers-matching L79 327/350hp V8 and numbers-matching Muncie M20 4-speed transmission. Benefitting from a high-end, frame-off restoration, this Corvette came from the meticulously maintained collection and has been finished to an exceptional standard. The result is a highly detailed example with beautiful paint, laser-straight panel gaps, and completely renewed hardware throughout.

The 1966 Corvette represents the final evolution of Chevrolet’s second-generation C2, combining its unmistakable Sting Ray styling with increasingly sophisticated performance. This example is particularly desirable for its L79 327/350hp V8, 4-speed manual transmission, and date-code-correct Positraction rear end. The matching drivetrain and carefully selected components reflect the attention to authenticity that went into the restoration.

The exterior is finished in Trophy Blue(Code 980), showcasing exceptionally straight bodywork, beautiful paint, and precise panel alignment. 15-inch steel wheels with spinner hub caps complement the period-correct appearance, while chrome bumpers, chrome window trim, dual exhaust tips, hide-away headlights, and a power antenna complete the exterior. Throughout the restoration, new hardware was used extensively, contributing to the exceptionally crisp presentation.

Inside, the cabin is finished in Black vinyl (Code STD) with low-back bucket seats and black carpeting. Period-correct details include a center console clock, AM/FM radio, seat belts, 3-spoke wood-rim steering wheel, and original-style hang tag. The interior retains the clean, purposeful character of the C2 while presenting in keeping with the quality of the restoration.

Power comes from the numbers-matching 350hp L79 327ci V8, identified by the HT suffix code and 3858174 casting number, paired with its numbers-matching Muncie M20 4-speed transmission. A date-code-correct 3.70 Positraction rear end (Code AO) sends power to the rear wheels, while four-wheel disc brakes provide stopping power. The combination of the L79 V8, 4-speed manual, and Positraction differential gives this Corvette the engaging mechanical character expected of a properly restored C2.

Finished to a high standard and emerging from a carefully maintained collection, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette combines its numbers-matching L79 drivetrain, Trophy Blue finish, exceptionally straight bodywork, and meticulous frame-off restoration with an impressive level of detail throughout. The car is accompanied by a car cover, car show trophy, service manuals, and an extensive collection of spare parts.

Inspectors Notes: This is a special C2. Not only does it carry its original drivetrain, it has also gone through an extensive nut and bolt restoration. Check out the undercarriage photos! The attention to detail is amazing from the extraordinary panel gaps to the factory correct coolant hoses and markings. Adding to its appeal, this Corvette was delivered new with the upgraded L79 350 horsepower 327ci V8. As C2 coupes become more desirable, this is your opportunity to get a great one.
