This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette is an A.O. Smith–bodied convertible finished in Mosport Green with a black soft top over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a numbers-matching 427ci/425 L72 V8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 15″ knock-off turbine wheels, a Positraction rear end with a 4.11:1 gear ratio, side-exit exhaust pipes, disc brakes, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a Delco push-button radio. Work completed under current ownership has consisted of rebuilding the headlight motors, lubricating the chassis, and changing the oil and transmission fluid.
The body is finished in Mosport Green with a black soft top, and chrome trim adorns the driver-side mirrors, light surrounds, and split bumperettes. Additional features include concealed headlights, fender vents, and side-exit exhaust pipes. The headlight motors were reportedly rebuilt in September 2021, and a body-colored hardtop is included in the sale.
Knock-off 15″ turbine wheels are fitted with Dunlop G/T qualifier tires. Braking is handled by discs at all four corners.
The interior features black vinyl upholstery on the bucket seats with a matching dash cover, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes manually-operated windows, lap belts, black rubber floor mats, a glovebox, an analog clock, vent windows, and a Delco push-button AM/FM radio.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 36k miles.
The numbers-matching 427ci L72 V8 features a single Holley carburetor, solid-lifters, an aluminum intake, and was factory rated at 425 horsepower.
Engine block stamping 107247 matches the last six digits on the chassis identification plate. The “IP” suffix indicates a 427ci/425 horsepower engine with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear end with a 4.11:1 gear ratio.
