In response to the comments, firstly thank you for the kind words. In response to the interest in more information, the coupe is just an honest original car. The paint has never been touched up and as a result, it shows as 50 years old in places...a woman owned the car in the earliest years and drove the car a short distance to work and it got a little too much sun on the upward facing surfaces. The interior, chassis and mechanical are in outstanding condition. The car has never been 'massaged' or otherwise to improve the presentation. The car has great documentation and engine stamp pad...both have been through CCAS. The car is scary fast and runs like new...I drive it regularly. The Coupe has the 5-star bowtie award but has not been judged for benchmark...I do not plan to ever sell the car so further awards are not a focus. I am always glad to take the car to events...about 2 weeks ago someone who is active in the corvette hobby asked if I would be willing to send the Black Coupe to Indy for the Special Collection. I told him I would but he subsequently told me he inquired and the docket is already filled. Not sure what you guys would like to see in terms of photos, but here are a few more photos of other parts of the car. -JMS

Whoa... stunning. I would like to see more pics.

The '66 big block coupe is my all time favorite car. I know them very, very well [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Matt, when this thread started your car was the one I thought may be the one that was being described. I didn't want to say anything, but I'm glad you did.

Very cool car.
