Chevrolet Corvette 427 CID V8 1966
General description :
Our Detroit Showroom is proud to offer a one-of-a-kind, 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Big Block L-72. This isn't your average '66 Vette. This Milano Red beauty is a very limited production, 427 CID Big Block V8 paired to a 4-Speed manual transmission that is completely original to this Corvette. The powertrain that powers this beast is the same exact powertrain that powered this car as it rolled off of the assembly line in the mid 1960's. With less than 85,000 original miles, this beauty is sure to turn heads and snag a few trophies at your local car show. There is no better feeling than the low end torque of the big block 427 V8 tugging you through gears and snapping necks along the way. The 60's was definitely a great era for the General Motors Corvette Division due to the timeless design of the Corvette along with its unmatched performance numbers that backed up all the hype. At first glance, you will notice that the gorgeous Milano Red paint shines brighter than the day it rolled off of the assembly line and is accented beautifully with Corvette knock-off’s and custom gold stripe tires. When you’re cruising around in a Big Block Vette with side-pipes, the exhaust note is enough to make sure you don’t even turn on the Wonderbar Radio. The growl this Corvette provides is an unmatched feeling that you can’t find anywhere else. The interior is dressed in a freshly detailed, Ebony vinyl interior which is in beautiful condition and shows very minimal signs of wear. This iconic Corvette is need of only one thing, a new home. If you are in the market for a collectible Corvette that you will absolutely love driving and showing, look no further. These specific Corvettes are becoming a scarce item in the collector car world and owning a gem like this is definitely something to brag about.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
