1966 Coupe
Price change - I am offering the car at $77,500 with bolt-on knockoffs and goldline tire setup. Or at $75,000 with narrow white wall tires and stock hubcaps. I am selling my 1966 Coupe. Priced at $80,000. Given the range of prices for C2, some will say this price is high for a 66 coupe, but I believe that to purchase a project car and have a car restored to the level described below and in the pictures attached would cost well in excess of $100,000. My full in cost is $100,000 and I did most of the restoration myself, other than paint/body work, re-chroming, etc. things that I’m not equipped or capable of doing. This car is what I consider pretty immaculate. A 2 ½ year complete body off the frame restoration was completed in 2017. The car has been through NCRS judging to the regional meet level. It scored 98.4 at a very good chapter meet and 98.5 at a regional meet in 2017. It is Nassau blue with Dark blue interior. The drive train is L79/350hp, M21 close ratio Muncie, and 3.73 gear ratio. Car build date is July 14, 1966 per the NCRS shipping data report. It is an A.O. Smith bodied car. Everything on the car was restored/rebuilt OEM original parts or the best available reproduction parts. All parts and work were done to NCRS standards with eventual judging a consideration. On a scale of 0 to 10, the body and paint are a 12. The most points I lost at NCRS judging for a single item was 13 points and that was for the paint. As NCRS judges paint, the paint is over restored.I am not going to use the term numbers matching as I consider the term misleading at some level, i.e. some people believe it also means original to the car. I am instead saying everything on the car is part number and date correct. Not every part on the car originally came with the car. Front to back, some of what was done to the car includes:

Here's another picture, one of my binder of receipts from the restoration. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...c085857fc5.jpg |
I haven’t seen it in person, but I know Don. I’ve seen his work before, so I can guarantee you that it’s a top notch restoration, period. :thumbs: |

A 65 El Camino. It was somewhat restored by a previous owner and all I want to do is correct some mechanical issues to make it more drivable. I also still have my 67 convertible. |
Very well written,descriptive ad;I love the color combo!

Nice car! What paint brand was used on your car, looks like a nice shade of Nassau. |

This is the car I’ve dreamed about for many many years. It is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately it’s too nice for me to drive frequently. Good luck with the sale. Someone’s going to get a gem! |
