How Rare??

[Rick R.]

There is a yellow 66 Roadster on ebay that is a heater AND radio delete car. If for real, how rare is this combo? I have seen a fair number of radio delete C2's, but don't recall seeing radio and heater delete. I have no affiliation with ebay or this car, and am not a qualified buyer.

Technically U69 AM/FM radio was an option, that's being nit-picky. The Black book says 54 1966 Corvette were made with C48 Heater/Defroster delete so in my book that would be rare. As far as desirable or value tough call, and without documentation I'm not sure it would add any value. The Ebay listing doesn't show a engine pad or the hear block-off covers. Too bad!

According to the black book, of the 27,720 corvettes built in 1966, 54 chose to delete the heater and 1,357 did not purchase the Radio option.

Hard to say but I would guess pretty rare. But, rare and valuable do not always go together. Don H.

No radio cars with no heater usually means the car was ordered to go racing

I agree...That's why it would be nice to see some documentation. A quick Google search of the VIN show it sold at Russo and Steele - Scottsdale Auction in 2006 for $115K. Looks like it has J50 Power Brakes. Now if it had an M22 we would be talking some serious jack.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if one considers all of the available body styles, options, exterior colors, and interior colors available for C2 and C3 Corvettes, just about every Corvette is unique and "rare".

Amen, brother. And, as to value...as much as someone will stroke a check for (that won't bounce)...today

I like how the seller thinks its important to take pictures of the floor mat and out side mirror but yet can't take a close up of the stamp pad and trim tag. neat car but I would bet it did not start out like that
