Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Fort Lauderdale is excited to present this gorgeous 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster, in silver green on dark green.
What a time it was back in '66, with great TV shows like The Monkees, The Munsters and I Dream of Jeannie- while The Beach Boys, the Doors and other greats left us with just right, even visionary songs we cherish. Corvettes were generally bought by affluent buyers, due to higher prices. They were the envy of many, and some of them made it to the drags strips, cleaning up the competition. Cars like this help us relive those fond memories, and while they cost more than they did back then, can prove to be solid investments.
What a neat car, with the stroked 498 cubic inch V8 big block Chevrolet under the hood, bolted to a Muncie 4-speed and original style rear end. Outwardly, the light silver-green color is a nice departure from others... vintage looking for sure, catapulting you back to 1966. The white soft top is there, but needs replacement. This one has side pipes and they sound amazing, making this big block roadster stand up and roar when you get into it. Overall condition is very good.
The inside is in nice shape, needing very little to be outstanding. The teak steering wheel option looks terrific, and a powerful sound system has been added (you know, to make sure you can still hear your favorite song over all those horses screaming under the hood). The dashes on these cars are aircraft like, with all the gauges and controls you need to keep an eye on things.
Big block Corvettes are desirable- factory installed or not. This one was set up well and is a heck of a lot of fun to drive!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
