Vehicle Description
If we're being honest with ourselves, not all Corvettes are created
equal. While personal preference will always triumph, a handful of
these Bowtie beauties can be universally agreed upon as truly
special vehicles. This numbers-matching 1966 Chevrolet Corvette L72
427 Convertible would absolutely qualify as one of those
historically lusted-after cars. Fully repainted, this 'Vette sports
a triple-red motif with both its interior and removable hardtop
matching its head-turning exterior hue.
Inside, we find a nice-looking stock vinyl interior featuring
bucket seats and a three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel. A
six-pod gauge cluster sits front and center of the driver, while a
sizeable analog clock is situated amid the center stack, flanked by
two push/pull HVAC knobs that keep temperature control nice and
easy. An upgraded AM/FM Bluetooth-enabled Rockford Fosgate head
unit makes music selection far more versatile than the original C2
unit it replaces.
Pop open that signature front-hinged Corvette hood and stare in awe
at the numbers-matching L72 427 cubic-inch V-8 engine topped with a
single four-barrel Holley carburetor. Initially rated at 450
horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, the L72's advertised
horsepower was mysteriously reduced to 425 hp despite no change to
its setup. That massive power (whatever the actual number) is
routed through a modern Tremec 3550 five-speed manual transmission,
which allows this C2 to cruise on the highway with far more fuel
frugality than the car's original Muncie four-speed could have ever
dreamt of.
