1966 Chevrolet Corvette

Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to offer up this stunning 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Resto-Mod for sale. Between the modern power-train and the classic styling, this car is definitely a show stopper.

Under the "Stinger" hood of this beast is a Chevrolet LS3 that would have been found in a more modern C5 Vette. Upon starting the engine, everyone around can hear the deep, throaty sounds of the side pipes. This swap not only provides much more power and drive-ability to the car, but it also makes servicing much easier considering that all of the parts needed for the engine are still mass produced by companies for GM. As for the engine itself, it runs very strong and brings as much power to the car as a big block would have back in the day (hence the big block hood). Sending that modern power to the rear end is a five speed manual transmission that shifts firmly through the gears with an extremely short throw shifter. This car having a modern power-train, of course it has disc brakes all around that provide a good initial bite along with firm stopping power thanks to a Willwood master cylinder.

Moving outward, the exterior of the car is finished in a traditional light blue metallic that looks very nice and correct for the era of car. Finishing the stinger hood is a white stripe. Overall the paint is in very good condition and shows well. Supporting each corner of this beauty are chrome alloy wheels wrapped in low profile performance tires with good life left in them likely sourced from a C5. The white soft top is also in very good condition and moves freely as it should.

Upon entering the cabin, the driver will be greeted by a light blue interior to match the exterior. Overall, the interior is in very good condition and accents the excellent work performed on the power-train and suspension. The vinyl seats provide plenty of comfort while still maintaining decent support for cornering. In the summer months, the driver will appreciate the convertible soft top that lets in plenty of sunshine and fresh air.
