1966 Chevrolet Corvette

Another beautiful Basil Classic... this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette showing 73,787 miles has been handpicked and meets Joe Basils standards of excellence and tradition of fine automobiles since 1951.

This 1966 Corvette is a remarkably well-documented example, with ownership history traced back to day one, accompanied by its Protecto Plate and original build sheet - the kind of paper trail that serious Corvette collectors dream of finding. Rounding out the documentation is the original factory invoice from Bruce Brown Chevrolet in Ennis, Texas, confirming that the car was built at the St. Louis assembly plant and originally optioned with the 4-speed close-ratio transmission, Trophy Blue paint, a tinted windshield, an AM/FM radio, and whitewall tires. The car is finished in its factory-correct Trophy Blue, and, importantly, it has been painted only once in its life and remains a never-apart car - meaning it retains its original, unmolested assembly and has never been disassembled for restoration. That kind of originality is increasingly rare and adds tremendous value and confidence for the next caretaker. Under the hood sits the desirable L79 327ci V8, rated at 350 horsepower, one of the most sought-after solid-lifter small-block combinations Chevrolet offered in 1966. Power is routed through the correct 4-speed manual transmission, delivering the raw, connected driving experience Corvette enthusiasts crave. Inside, the black interior complements the Trophy Blue exterior beautifully, featuring the correct gauges, console-mounted shifter, and Corvette-crossed-flags floor mats that round out the cockpits sporty, driver-focused character. Complete with its original 1966 Corvette owners guide, this Sting Ray represents a documented, numbers-matching example with a clean history and a highly desirable L79 drivetrain - a true collector-grade Corvette ready for its next chapter.
