`66 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray: A Triple Black Big Block Convertible!

Earlier this year, my client engaged me to appraise and authenticate his 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray two-door convertible. The vehicle featured a 427 cubic inch 425 horsepower “big block” V8 engine, a Muncie M-21 close ratio four-speed manual transmission, a Positraction rear differential with a 3.70:1 gear set/final drive ratio, side exhaust, reproduction knock-off aluminum wheels, power steering, power disc brakes, leather seat upholstery, a telescopic steering column, and a teakwood steering wheel. Although an older restoration, the vehicle was still quite attractive and very well equipped.
