For Sale: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette in Milford, Michigan

Vehicle Description

Numbers Matching L72 427/425HP | 4-Speed | 4.11 Posi | Dual Tops | Side-Pipes | Rotisserie Restored |

This beautiful 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by its original, numbers-matching 427ci L72 V8 factory rated at 425 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, paired with the original M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. The car under went a frame off refinish where the color scheme was changed to a beautiful tuxedo black over bright blue leather upholstery and comes equipped with both a removable hardtop and a black convertible soft top.

The 15 Turbine-style cast aluminum wheels feature knock-off spinners and are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown radial tires measuring 205/75. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and the chassis benefits from the F41 Special Front and Rear Suspension.

Inside, the cabin is fitted with two bucket seats trimmed in Bright Blue leather along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include a heater, lap belts, a working analog clock, and an AM/FM radio. The teakwood steering wheel (N32) frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and water temperature.

The original numbers-matching 427ci L72 big-block is correctly stamped with its partial VIN, with the IP suffix designating a 425-hp, 427ci engine mated to a manual transmission. The original four-speed transmission carries the VIN stamp as well, and the rear axle is the correct FB 4.11 Posi, dated April 13th, 1966.
