Corvette Of The Day: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427/425 Coupe

This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette is a rare example equipped with the high-performance L72 427 cubic-inch engine. One of only 5,258 produced with this powerful motor, it showcases Chevrolet’s engineering prowess of the era.

The L72 was a formidable engine, featuring forged internals, high compression, and large valves, making it a benchmark of performance. Despite its true potential, Chevrolet officially rated it at 425 horsepower.

In the late 1960s, the car underwent a striking transformation with a custom, multi-colored paint job. This show-car style finish has earned the Corvette numerous awards and accolades throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s.
