Description for Chevrolet Corvette 1966

There is no replacement for displacement!! 1966 Corvette Stingray 427 replacing the 1965 top of the line 396 cu. engine, advertising the same 425 HP on both engines. I think we both know that this big block pushes this 66 Vette very well run through the streets with a 4 speed Transmission. The car is in phenomenal condition with low mileage (23,xxx actual miles), numbers matching with a/c. If you are looking for a car to add to your collection or start a collection, this is a piece of art for sure.

The 1966 Corvette the big-block V-8 came in two forms, 396 cu. and 427 cu. larger intake valves, a bigger Holley four-barrel carburetor on an aluminum manifold, mechanical lifters, and four-hole main bearing caps. Though it had no more horsepower than the previous high-compression 396, the 427 cu. Of course, engine outputs were sometimes deliberately understated in the Sixties. Here, 420 and 450 hp would be closer to the truth. With big-block V-8s being the order of the day, there was less demand for the 327, so small-block offerings were cut from five to two for 1966, and only the basic 300- and 350-bhp versions were retained. As before, both could be teamed with the Powerglide automatic, the standard three-speed manual, or either four-speed option.

Options include: A/C, Aluminum Wheels, AM/FM Radio, Performance Tires, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, Seatbelts, Leather Interior.
