This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette coupe spent time in Michigan before it was acquired by the seller in June 2023 and subsequently modified with the installation of a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport-sourced 6.2-liter LT1 V8, exhaust tips, and suspension components in addition to a replacement frame, a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, a McLeod Racing hydraulic clutch, and C6 Corvette-specification braking components. Finished in blue with red-outlined white graphics, the car also features flip-up headlights, power-assisted steering, a Wilwood brake master cylinder, coilover suspension, staggered-diameter Stance wheels, a Vintage Air air-conditioning system, Dakota Digital RTX vintage-style gauges, a wood-rimmed steering wheel with an IDIDIT tilt-adjustable column, and bolstered Recaro bucket seats with Tanaka four-point harnesses. This modified C2 is offered with a build spreadsheet and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
The seller tells us that the fiberglass body was affixed to a custom-fabricated chassis patterned after a Roadster Shop Spec Series frame. It was refinished in a Corvette Grand Sport-style scheme of blue with red-outlined white graphics under previous ownership. The quadruple exhaust outlets were sourced from the same donor 2017 Corvette Grand Sport as the engine and suspension, and additional features include flip-up headlights, chrome-finished bumpers, and dual mirrors.
Staggered-diameter Stance wheels are finished in black and mounted with 245/35-19″ front and 285/50-20″ rear Michelin tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and rides on a coilover suspension. Suspension arms were sourced from a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport, while C6 Corvette-specification braking components were installed at all four corners. A Wilwood brake master cylinder is housed in the engine bay.
BMW-sourced Recaro bucket seats are trimmed in black leather, and they are equipped with blue Tanaka four-point harnesses. The removed headrests are included in the sale. Additional details include a Vintage Air air-conditioning system, a Hurst-branded cue ball-style shift knob, and crank windows. Photos show empty switch cut-outs on the center stack.
A Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted on an IDIDIT tilt-adjustable steering column, and it fronts a Dakota Digital RTX vintage-style instrumentation suite with color-changing capability that consists of a GPS-based 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with inset digital displays as well as gauges for fuel level, voltage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. A Dakota Digital RTX analog clock is housed in the center stack. The digital odometer indicates 50 miles, but it is inaccurate and total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 6.2-liter LT1 V8 is said to have been sourced from a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport with 17k miles and installed in 2024. Additional under-hood elements include an open-element air intake, an aluminum radiator, a Corvette-branded engine cover with a carbon-fiber center and body-color accents, and a Moroso coolant reservoir.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a McLeod Racing hydraulic clutch and a Tremec six-speed manual transmission. The differential is supported by a C6 Corvette-specification rear cross-member. Heat-insulating wrap is present on the headers and a portion of the X-pipe.
