1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible – L72 427/425, 4-Speed, 1,700 Miles, NCRS Report

This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a factory L72 example powered by a 427ci V8 rated at 425 horsepower and paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Silver Pearl over black leather, it features a black soft top, side-exit exhaust, turbine-style knock-off wheels, and a Positraction rear end. The car shows 1,700 miles on its rolled five-digit odometer, approximately 1,000 of which were added under current ownership. It was acquired by the seller on behalf of its owner in July 2022 and is offered with an NCRS Shipping & Data Report and a clean Oregon title.

The fiberglass body was repainted in its factory Silver Pearl prior to the current owner’s acquisition and features a domed hood, flip-up headlights, chrome bumpers, fender vents, Soft Ray tinted glass, a driver-side mirror, and a retractable antenna. The black convertible top stows cleanly and complements the exterior finish. Side-exit exhaust pipes add visual and auditory presence.

15″ turbine-style aluminum wheels with knock-off spinners are mounted with 205/75 Coker redline tires. The C2 chassis features fully independent suspension with upper and lower control arms up front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. Power steering and heavy-duty power four-wheel disc brakes provide confident handling and stopping performance.

The cabin is trimmed in black leather with bucket seats, color-matched door panels, and replacement carpets. Amenities include a cabin heater, AM/FM radio, analog clock, lap belts, and a three-spoke steering wheel. Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature.

The 427ci L72 V8 was factory rated at 425 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque and is said to have been overhauled prior to the current owner’s purchase. The engine stamping includes an IP suffix, denoting a 425-hp L72 paired with a manual transmission. The engine bay retains a correct appearance with period-style components and finishes.

This C2 Corvette Convertible is a well-presented example of one of Chevrolet’s most desirable mid-year configurations, blending factory big-block performance with classic styling and documented provenance. It’s offered with an NCRS Shipping & Data Report and a clean title.
