This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was refurbished between 2005 and 2007 by Stauffer Classic Auto in Hays, Kansas, and is powered by a 327ci V8 paired with a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Finished in blue over blue, the car is equipped with a white convertible soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, 15″ turbine-style aluminum wheels with knock-off spinners, side-exit exhaust, power steering, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, a teakwood steering wheel, and a Delco AM/FM radio. This C2 convertible was acquired by the current owner in 2018 and is now offered on dealer consignment with service records and a clean Kansas title.

The car was finished at the factory in Nassau Blue and refinished during the aforementioned refurbishment. Bodywork involved repairing stress cracks around the rear bumper mounts and bonding reinforcements at the left-rear quarter panel and deck lid. Exterior equipment includes a white folding soft top, a color-coordinated removable hardtop, factory-style side exhaust covers, rechromed split bumpers, concealed headlights, three front fender louvers, crossed-flags emblems, a driver-side mirror, and a power-retractable antenna. Paint chips on the rear deck lid boot cover behind the passenger seat are shown in the gallery.

The 15″ Turbine-style aluminum wheels feature knock-off spinners and are mounted with Bridgestone tires. The C2 was the first Corvette to offer fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs.

The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in Bright Blue vinyl along with color-coordinated door panels and carpeting. Amenities include a heater, an analog clock, and lap belts. and a vertically mounted Delco AM/FM radio.

The teakwood steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 11 miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 327ci V8 was rebuilt during the 2006–2007 refurbishment. Features include a four-barrel carburetor, a chrome ignition surround, an alternator, and an aluminum coolant overflow tank.

The engine stamping is shown above.
