1966 CHEVROLET CORVETTE ROADSTER 427/425 H.P. In 1966 Chevrolet replace the Corvette's 396 cubic inch big block with their "legendary" 427. There were two versions; one was a 390 horse power model (which really dyno’d in at 400 hp) and the other was a 425 horse power version which really produced 450 h.p. Because of insurance rates the 450 h.p. engine was rated at 425 hp, but the engine was not “de-tuned”. It retained the high performance mechanical cam and 11.0:1 compression ratio. In 1966 Chevrolet produced approximately 27,000 Corvettes, of which 3300 were Milano Maroon. I do not know how many were 427/425 h.pUp for sale by a private party is a numbers matching and recently restored 1966 Corvette roadster with the L72, 427 cu. in. 425 h.p. option; 4-speed M-21 transmission, and in its original color of Milano Maroon. The car has just over 50,000 original miles and has only been driven a few miles since its body off the frame restoration. It is believed to only have been a 2-owner car. Current owner won the car in a raffle and was told the car came from the mid-west (Michigan as per the title); had a frame off restoration in the past 12 months and that it was a numbers matching car. Unfortunately, there are NO documents included with the car. The winner of the raffle (current owner) cannot drive it due to health reasons.All of the numbers match from the T0109 (Towanda plant; January, 9th day) “I.P.” 6114732 block; casting # 3869942 “P” stamp, to the transmission and frame. The car retains the original tach-drive distributor and points ignition. It does NOT have the optional transistor ignition. The fuel line and carburetor are not original. It has an 800 Holley "double pumper" built by Brad Urban of The Carb Shop in California.Interior seats are thought to be original due to a small "cigarette burn" (see photo).
