Vehicle Description

Eric's Muscle Cars is proud to offer this stunning Nut and bolt restoration, Matching numbers 427/390 HP engine Little Red Corvette. M21 4-speed transmission Rally Red with Black interior 4.11 rear end Side pipe exhaust Goldline bias ply tires with 15 inch spinner hubcaps White convertible top V74 traffic hazard switch Power antenna Wood wheel AM/FM radio NCRS Shipping Data Report The advertising text was minimal, stating simply, "With 427 inches, who need adjectives?" The year 1966 heralded some remarkable changes in Detroit, but 7 liters of big-block was the real eye-opener for the second-generation Corvette. The stunning convertible here has benefited from a complete nut-and-bolt refreshing and still retains its matching-numbers L36 427/390 HP Turbo-Jet engine. With the Mako Shark prototypes already being worked on by company stylists, the overall body of the second-generation Sting Ray did not radically change for this model year. Receiving new trim logos, the egg-crate grille reconfiguration and light touches in places like the wheel covers was the major extent of it. The roof vents were eliminated, and the back-up lights became standard equipment. Though changes were subtle, the public was still thrilled by this legend, outselling the 1965 versions by almost 15 percent, and the availability of 427 CI was surely a big part of that attraction. Here, the L36 engine features 10.25 compression and an easy-to-tune hydraulic camshaft design, all tucked down beneath the special hood treatment reserved for big-block installations. Its non-silenced air cleaner and side-pipe exhaust pipes make a raucous statement of performance, and the powerplant is backed by the M21 close-ratio 4-speed transmission and a stout 4.11 differential layout, a driveline surely created for bursts of excitement. A spectacular tri-color package, this extremely attractive car is covered in Rally Red with a white convertible top and contrasting black vinyl interior. Among the optional equipment on this car is the scarce V74 traffic hazard switch, plus the AM/FM radio with power antenna, the wood-design steering wheel and the shifter consolette. Touching the ground are goldline bias-ply tires equipped with 15-inch spinner-design hubcaps, a crowning touch to its street legacy. So, yes, we used some adjectives to describe this white-topped 427 CI convertible in hot red paint, but you will be the one to enjoy it beyond its appearance; then, you can choose your own adjectives.
