Corvette Was $119,995.00 Now $110,500.00This 1966 Corvette is
powered by it's numbers matching 427 cu in 425 hp engine. It has
been owned by the same owner since 1971. It features soft ray
tinted glass,( F41) suspension, (N36) telescopic column, (U69)
AM/FM radio, side-mounyed exhaust and aluminum knock-off wheelsFor
the 1966 Corvette, the big-block V-8 came in two forms: 390 bhp on
10.25:1 compression, and 425 bhp via 11:1 compression, larger
intake valves, a bigger Holley four-barrel carburetor on an
aluminum manifold, mechanical lifters, and four- instead of
two-hole main bearing caps. Though it had no more horsepower than
the previous high-compression 396, the 427 cu in, 450 hp (later 425
hp) V-8 packed a lot more torque - 460 pound/feet vs. 415.The 1966
model's frontal appearance was mildly altered with an eggcrate
grille insert to replace the previous horizontal bars, and the
coupe lost its roof-mounted extractor vents, which had proven
inefficient. Corvettes also received an emblem in the corner of the
hood for 1966. Head rests were a new option, one of the rarest
options was the Red/Red Automatic option with power windows and air
conditioning from factory which records show production numbered
only 7 convertibles and 33 coupes.
