1966 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale - Numbers Matching 427ci/425hp L72
Engine LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1966 Chevrolet
Corvette L72 � The popularity of America's Corvette sports car had
grown substantially since its 1953 debut, but 10 years later it was
time for some changes for the 1963 to 1967 model years. The
Chevrolet Corvette C2, (for 2nd Generation) was also known as the
Corvette Sting Ray through those years. The styling of the C2 was
viewed as quite radical at the time - but was also very successful.
Today it is classic Corvette and perhaps the most collectable
Corvette style of them all. For the 1966 model year Chevrolet made
only evolutionary changes such as: the front appearance was mildly
altered with an egg-crate grille insert to replace the previous
horizontal bars; the Coupe lost its roof-mounted extractor vents
which had proved inefficient; back up lights were now standard;
headrests were now optional; and the interior door pulls were
bright metal. Corvettes also received an emblem in the corner of
the hood for 1966. Most significantly, the "Big Block" Models
debuted that year and came with a special bubble hood to
accommodate the stronger horsepower engines and to distinguish the
cars from the 327's. � This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette was produced in
the St. Louis plant on February 10, 1966 and was originally
delivered through Harry Mann Chevrolet in Los Angeles, California.
Under the hood is the numbers matching 427 ci / 425 HP L72 engine
coupled to a numbers matching M-21 4 speed transmission. This
Corvette includes the following options: N14 side mounted exhaust;
A31 Power Windows; Date Code Correct P48 Cast Aluminum
Kelsey-Haynes Knock Off Wheels (including spare wheel); and U69
AM/FM Radio. The car has been very nicely cosmetically restored
retaining many of the original components. The interior has been
very well kept and retains the original black colour seat covers,
carpets and more. Owner history is known and includes a period of
30 years spent on the west coast with a single owner, showing the
car has been collector owned and very well maintained. This '66
Corvette is also a NCRS award winner from 2014 which is a testament
to its excellent condition. � This '66 Corvette is an excellent
driving car. Here is an exceptional opportunity to own a true
classic, big block Corvette, with the look and sound that is sure
to draw attention in any crowd. Additional Details: 1966 CHEVROLET
