'66 Corvette Convertible, #s L-79, Laguna Blue

[scuncio]

Beautiful car with incredible colors...looks a little rough around the edges (rear bumper chrome is rough, engine bay needs some detailing). If there's some room in the $65k ask, it might be an interesting buy for someone.

----In 66 white on bright blue was the only white combo you could order. No white on black!

----Went back to look at all the pics. Wrong Master cyl. Wrong water pump. No plug shields. 66s all came with back-up inside tail lights.....Bill S

Bill, what's a fair number, from what you can see, on that car?

[TimG]

I would check out anything they sell very closely.

$65K buys almost nothing in a 65-67 anymore. 82 pictures and not one of the pad, tags, or undercarriage. White interior not an option, but should have been (at least with Laguna Blue). Repro teak wheels are $1500 all day now, so that's nice to have.

Mr. Bill S,

Please don’t yell at me as I’m only trying to educate myself on the nuance of mid year Corvettes.
I value your opinion on these cars as you’ve been there done that.

Although the ‘66 in this auction may have its faults, I was looking at my 1966 Corvette consumer catalog which states an interior of White/Blue was offered.
The photo of the instrument panel seems to be kinda Blue, but not Black as the cluster and glove box show Black.

Like I said, be patient with me. LOL 😂

Bright Blue / White is the only interior package. Naturally, there are not any pics of the TT or the deck.

The car strikes me as a freestyle effort. I'm sure an educated eye being one on one, would reveal much more than what is presented in the pics

"Freestyle effort"... That is a polite use of tact Tim. :beers:

In hindsight - I personally have done a couple projects using what I had on hand.

Tim,

As in this?
Which happens to be a beautiful interior.

Shifter seems a bit high to me??

Thanks!

Tim,

Yes, which is beautiful IMO as well. In fact, that color combination seems to be the #1 request I have gotten in recent years.

I agree with the shifter. It could be from a C3, or a Hurst with a bolt on stick

Dave, have him look first. This is not a good place to buy a car.

[A12pilot]

Warning sent. Thanks, Tim. Nice to meet you in person finally!

Dave, it was great to meet you and your wife.
