Introduction / Overview:
This 66' Corvette was an original 'Tuxedo Black' (rarest color) big block 427/425hp, 4-spd. factory sidepipes, four wheel power disc brakes, power windows car. The car was customized with flared fenders, and 'Mako Shark' rear end 30 yrs. ago. I bought this car 5 yrs. ago at a very reasonable price, and do drive it hard, and take it to a few car shows every now and then. This is a one of a kind Corvette, and plan on keeping this baby for a long time!
Drivetrain:
The engine is NOM but it does have a 66' 427 block. I had the M-21 upgraded to an M-22 "Rock Crusher". The engine was rebuilt to a lower compression to run on high octane pump gas, 460hp/500 torque on the dyno.
