Chevrolet Corvette Coupe L72 427/425hp The popularity of the
mid-year Corvette can be traced back to many factors including the
unmistakable styling, copious engine options and a wide array of
available options to make for either a high performance or a
powerful touring car. Originally offered with an array of 327ci
V8s, it was the 1966 introduction of the 427ci V8 that would truly
earn the 'Vette its 'King of the Road' status. The L72 427 CI V-8
was essentially the previous year's L78 396/425 HP engine bored out
to its original NASCAR-mandated 427 CI limit. To avoid condemnation
from horsepower critics, it was deceptively rated at the same 425
HP as the L78, but at the artificial limit of 5,600 RPM. At its
true redline of 6,500 RPM, it delivered upwards of 450 HP, with
torque peaking at 460 lb-ft at 4,000 RPM. With the improvements
bestowed on its brakes and suspension since the C2's introduction,
it proved to be a potent combination of power and agility;
something that Zora himself said he would be proud to take and show
off in Europe. This is a well-equipped L72 427/425 HP big-block
coupe finished in factory Silver Pearl retains its very original
factory silver vinyl interior. Nicely optioned with side exhaust,
telescoping steering wheel, numbers matching 4-speed manual
transmission, complete with its 427 "AZ" 3.55:1 Posi-traction rear
end, backup lights, Soft Ray-tinted glass, AM/FM radio with power
antenna and Kelsey Hayes finned-aluminum knock-off wheels. The car
shows in very original condition throughout with recent exterior
repaint in its striking factory color. This outstanding 1966
Corvette has some of the most desirable options in today's Corvette
collecting community L72 big-block engine, great color combination,
side exhaust and Kelsey Hayes knock-off wheels. This great mid-year
example is waiting to be enjoyed on the open road! Additional
