66 value?
What's the value of a 1966 corvette coupe 327/350 that is a factory a/c, side pipe, KO wheel car with pw, leather n several other options that is documented by window sticker and protecto plate and NCRS top flight?
Enjoy while you can.

Closer to 65k, PM sent.
On second thought: 65k+. I have a simular coupe in silver but w/o the documents, window sticker, protecto plate and a top flight and I am not sure I would take 65k for mine. I know she is not worth that amount, but she is reliable, restored and it took me three years to find her. My .02 cents.

In 1966 they only made 492 L 79 coupes with a/c. Side pipes were 13% and KO's about 5% of total production. If these are all factory options, this is a rather rare bird.

That's kind of what I was getting at. We don't know if the a/c works now, it the wheels are original, what current condition is, color, really most other things. I threw out a number to get started. With just the description provided and no pics or inspection, I'd be afraid to make a real offer.

A/C and everything work. Was body off restored I think before the 2 regional ncrs top flights which were in 1993 and 1994. Knock offs are reproduction but it IS a factory knock off wheel, A/C, side pipe car and had documentation to prove. Here are some details:
ERMINE WHITE WITH DARK BLUE LEATHER INTERIOR. ALL CORRECT MATCHING NUMBERS 327 - 350 HP / 4 - SPEED WITH FACTORY AIR, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL, HAZARD WARNING (SW), POWER WINDOWS, TEAK WHEEL, QUICK TAKE-OFF WHEELS, TINTED GLASS, AM/FM RADIO AND POSI-REAR (355 R). COMPLETE BODY-OFF RESTORATION TO SHOW CONDITION. 2 TIMES NCRS TOP-FLIGHT (98.6), ALL GLOVE BOX PAPERWORK AND PROTECTO PLATE.

Considering how much changes in the understanding of what is correct on these cars, I'm not sure this car would still achieve Top Flight status if out were rejudged today. 18+ years is a long time.

it would be better if this car could be rejudged before selling it if the OP wants top buck, 65GGvert's answer is as close as we can get without seeing it in person, it is really hard to give an accurate estimate on it's worth and that is what the OP is asking. So guess we really have to do one of these...

Then instead of adding $15k to due to working A/C and real KH knockoffs, add $7k. The lack of real KH knockoffs is, in my opinion, a hit of $8k.

If it looks this good in reality and everything checks out, the higher end of the guestimates would be about right IMHO

Sounds like a car that might bring a lot of money on a good Saturday night at a BJ auction. The color might keep it from getting the really big, crazy money......but I think it's worth at least 65K, and I wouldn't be surprised if it sold for 80K......or even more.
