The 1966 Corvette is finally mine

I found a numbers matching low mile 1966 Sting Ray Corvette here in Germany about two hours South of my house. Enjoy the video.

I've never watched your show before, I like it! You have great content...

[@Karkmotuning]

That's an awesome looking car, perfect with the flares too. Nice with helpful buddies. Happy belated fourth of July!

[@EricThompson-n7f]

Hey Roger, Eric here from J5 IOD days in Wiesbaden. You are definitely living the dream in good ol' Deustchland. Love your builds and showing how much the Germans love our US "oldtimers" as they call them.

[@fransted]

Frank Mansted here. You gotta be kidding me!? That's my car!!! LoL

[@maniestrijdom7271]

Your builds are always fun to watch , i am in to watch the show And i love corvetts💯👍

I HAD A 66..427..BACK IN 70 WHEN I GOT MARRIED..SADLY FLIPPED IT OVER LOVEED IT IAM SURE YOU WILL TOO...PULASKI WISCONSIN🇺🇲🙉🙊🙈🇺🇲😁👍

[@bald1der]

That's Awesome!! Was stationed in Baumholder 12 Years ago. I miss Germany!

[@nicolecooper5002]

another great video rodger, awesome !!!!!!!

[@cozythunder1]

Sweet car! Love those wheels!

[@davidpittman5649]

Bro really, like those rims!! You scored a really nice Corvette🎉❤

[@MadRattGarage]

Luv how you use the Nomad. I'm just finishing up some updates on my 56 Nomad and I'm looking forward to driving it all over Florida! Happy 4th of July and thank you for your service!!

[@billywird]

I do hope he has that trailer hitch set-up for a draw-tite style instead of just using the bumper.

[@Karolilalu]

Oh that trailer hitch is part of the frame. Welded it myself. It doesn't use anything from the bumper for support. All frame with too much support bracing.

[@jakespeed63]

That interior rules!! Here I am at my Austrian friends house in Long Beach visiting from Orlando…looking at that Daytona Turkey Rod Run shirt. Our Hot Rod club attends every year. Super cool project and workshop. Yes, those rims and sidepipes go perfectly with that interior JT: Orlando Misfires CC

[@nicolecooper5002]

man,this car in black paint would b in my opinion one of the most sinister looking c2 ever. very cool

[@trizz1303]

Roger, this is Todd from Tampa, finally found your site and cars look great. Will follow your content and look forward to catching up again soon

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

One of the best things is the road trip

[@mygasolineprojects9931]

Congrats to your C2 ! Its a cool project. I am not so far from you, located near Idar-Oberstein. I own a 66 Roadster 427/425 4-speed. Currently I do a frame off of a 1968 C3 roadster. Going to rebuild it as a L88 tribute. If you have any questions regarding the C2 engines, suspension...what ever, let me know. Cheers

[@Karolilalu]

Idar-Oberstein right next to Baumholder by the U.S. Army garrison. Been there many, many times. Are you coming to the Nitro Olympics this weekend? Top Fuel Drag racing. I'll be here with my 30 Ford Coupe, 55 Nomad inside Sachs Kurve. Stop by for a free burger and beer. We're part of the hot rod special.

[@mathiasseidler5527]

What a nice project ‼️😎

[@JonathanAdams-z8r]

Damn cool car Roger! Love watching you guys pushing ‘vette thru the streets! 😀👍👍

[@Karolilalu]

Almost had a heart attack

[@BillSchopf]

Congratulations on the C-2 purchase. Laughed at that comment about the headlights. "Rubik's Cube science project" thought I was the only one that said that. Appreciate the camaraderie with your friends. See you guys at TRR'24. I live in Jupiter Florida.

[@rogerstegall9180]

Thanks for the comments......sitting in a hotel rim in Tampa right now I fly back to Germany Saturday

[@johnkelly6942]

Just like the ‘55 Nomad I for which I recently traded. Previous owner took it apart, 30 years go by and never got it back together. This Corvette is a cool car.

[@helinut08]

Love this new project. I just recently picked up a 1959 Corvette that was sitting in a barn for the last 48 years. Good luck with the project, I know you'll do it up right.😢

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Saw a 66 at a car show last night, no bumpers, 6 taillights, white, flares very badass.

[@1Cobranut]

It may look rough, but that looks like a solid car to me. Even the mods are tasteful, if a bit dated. 😎 That's an interesting trailer, but it sure looks like the axles are too far forward on it. If you were carrying a longer vehicle, it would be difficult to get enough tongue weight to prevent it swaying.

[@jujubean8308]

Im a new subscriber all the way from Cape Coral! Great video.

[@Karolilalu]

I was just in Cape Coral two weeks ago. Went out to Pine Island for dinner. Still a lot of hurricane damage out there.

[@leen352]

Nice score man!

[@1fcuking]

So glad I purchased my 64 from the Wheelerdealers all done sorted ‘ good luck with the Vette man

[@jimrains8314]

Where to start. Whatever you paid for the 66 is worth it. I read where people write, ditch this, add that, it's a beautiful car and it's yours to put your signature on. I'm curious on what size tires you have. Don't fear the headlamp installation, there are videos, I did it with mine and just took my time. If that was mine, I wouldn't change a thing and just finish it. It's beautiful. Looking forward to the next video. You have good friends. Take care and stay safe.

[@z.chewie]

Beautiful car, hope to see it sometime pull up in egelsbach

[@v8driver332]

🥰👍👍Gratuliere zu deiner neuen alten C2😉

[@geraldscott4302]

Nice '55 Nomad. I've owned three Corvettes. But I've never been able to acquire a '55 Nomad.

[@Vidar.m]

I recall seeing a corvette like that with 6 tail lights years ago, think it was in a car magazine...

[@markhale8084]

Adding the two extra taillights (one each side) was very common mod in 1960s … matched the 6 taillights of the BelAir.

[@robertkolb228]

Why are the vent windows missing in that nomad?

[@rogerstegall9180]

It's my vent window delete plus conversion to electric

[@andrewlitchfield4843]

Very cool Roger!! Needs respraying in 70s Metal flake!😂

[@briandrake9467]

I grew up in Idaho USA and my 8th car at 18 was a 73 914 with a Chevy 350 and fender extensions. I bought it for 400 dollars and needed to borrow back 10 for diapers for the baby. So it was 390. Sorry what power plant does the Porsche in the garage have?

[@donleblanc7223]

Happy 4th of July, and congratulations. Very Cool Corvette, What colour are you going to paint her ?

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Watched the video again 👍😁

[@cannedcatfood377]

KZbin threw you my way for the first time just now. I've been to southern Germany many times. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world (when it's not getting extreme rainfall). I would love to cruise it in a beautiful 1955 Nomad like yours but....... what's with the ugly steering wheel?

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

One thought mate ! Megee racing cams his name is Phil makes a great fuel injection for the 327 stacks

[@henningschafer5028]

Hello Roger.

[@Karolilalu]

You're always the first to comment. Thanks

[@xmo552]

@@Karolilalu Good luck on that Corvette, she's nice. This is the first video of yours that I see. Do you have a video on the Nomad? I love the fact that you're hauling with it. I'd like to know about your whole tow setup. I tow professionally, but I'm used to 1 ton trucks and larger. I know wagons and large sedans were the tow vehicles in the past, but I just have zero real world experience with that. Edit: Does that dash thingie pop up? Info please! 👍😁

[@joebot2127]

I missed your last 2 uploads.. Bell got turned off.

You lucky dog.

[@slotripper]

Stabilizer not complete... rt side anyway

[@denemitchell9701]

Nice car , love the wheels, but you should never cut coil springs to adjust your ride height it completely alters the whole spring rate

[@batvette]

Yup, it generally makes it stiffer which youre gonna need anyway.

@@sallystokes1277Wow, you rail negatively about the flares on car (and sounds like Roger likes the mods including interior and extra taillights) and you get called out on your criticism…you then reply in all caps for commentator to get over himself?

Yes, sir over here in the states that has been referred to as a "zipper merge". Every other vehicle letting in every other vehicle. My Dad had that attitude about those traffic situations sixty years ago he just did not have a name for it. That is going to be one hot ride when you get it into shape🥸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@charlessimpson5143]

Short story long they never made Gas tanks out of aluminum for any corvette ever made NEVER. They are stamped Tin with crimped seal between the metal pieces top and bottom.

Didn't know.....thanks
