DESCRIPTION
In the illustrious seventy-year history of the Corvette, a few specific models stand out to enthusiasts. There is a solid argument that the second generation (1963 to 1967) of the Crossed Flags is the only iteration of Chevy\'s halo car that hasn\'t had a single weak point. The tale-end of the C2, like this fully repainted Milano Maroon 1966 Chevrolet Corvette L72 427 Convertible we have for you today, maybe one of the most lusted-after \'Vettes of all. Whether it has its black vinyl convertible top up or down or its body-colored accessory hardtop on or off, this big blocked beauty exudes power and style from any angle.
1966 was the debut year for the now-legendary 427 big block V-8. Since the ridiculous L88 didn\'t come along until 1967, that means that in L72 form, that motor was in its most potent form that year. When it rolled off the assembly line, this numbers-matching car put down a whopping 425 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. That power is then funneled through a Muncie four-speed manual transmission before heading out to its rear end, where short 4.11 gears wait to light up its 215/75R-15 BF Goodrich rubber, which are wrapped around 15-inch steel wheels that hide power disc brakes up front and power drums in the rear.
Highlights:
*Numbers Matching L72 427/425HP Big Block
*Muncie Four Speed Manual
*4.11 Rear
*Removeable Hardtop
*Power Steering
*Power Brakes
*AC Delco Radio
*Gold Wall Tires
This excellently restored 1966 Chevrolet Corvette L72 427 Convertible looks true to its original form, down to its AC Delco AM/FM stereo, gold wall tires, 427 Turbo-Jet fender emblems, and even its 425 hp air cleaner decal. Owning a Corvette convertible of any year brings excitement and allows you to enter an exclusive club. However, owning and driving a C2 427 big block convertible is something different and unique, a feeling that must be experienced to be truly appreciated. Call today!
