Few cars personify the automotive spirit of the 1960s quite like this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette. Fully repainted in its original Silver Pearl color, which showcases its sleek hardtop coupe body style, this restomodded C2 has just 1,915 miles on its odometer since it was built. While its original hood has been replaced with a more aggressive piece, thankfully, this 'Vette retains its undeniably cool side pipes, which announce its arrival long before it gets there.
Inside, we find a fully restored black vinyl interior. A center console separates the dual bucket seats, while a three-spoke, power-assisted, wood-rimmed steering wheel sits just ahead of the C2 six-pod gauge cluster, featuring a 7,000 rpm tachometer and a 150 mph speedometer. A large analog clock sits high atop the center stack, while an upgraded AM/FM head unit takes the place of the original. Thanks to the coupe setup, this 'Vette also sports a sizeable cargo area behind the seats, making road trips equal parts practical and fun.
Under that front-hinged hood, we find a clean engine bay that houses a built 383 cubic-inch stroker V-8 engine. Built with an Eagle crankshaft, a big 4.0-inch bore, a performance cam, and Brodix IK 180 aluminum cylinder heads, this powerful small block is fed by a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system and an Edelbrock intake manifold. This setup also features a set of shorty headers that send spent gases out through those glorious side pipes. Power is routed through a tried-and-true four-speed manual transmission before heading out to the 3.08-geared Positraction rear end that transfers those ponies to the pavement via a set of five-spoke Jegs wheels shod in 215/70R-15 Cooper rubber. At the same time, a narrower set of 205/70R-15 tires handles steering duties up front.
