This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette L72 427/425 Roadster was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions in Amelia Island, Florida where it was estimated to sell for $110,000-$130,000. The car is powered by a 427 cubic-inch Turbojet V8 with a single four-barrel carburetor capable of producing an astonishing 425 horsepower. The car has a four-speed manual gearbox and a heavy-duty independent coil springs in the front and leaf springs in the rear. Disc brakes can be found on all four corners.
1966 was the first year for the L72 Turbojet 427 cubic-inch V8 engine. It was initially announced as having 450 horsepower, but the production version produced 425 horsepower. The L72 option included four-bolt mains, upgraded camshaft, four-barrel Holley 780 CFM carburetor, aluminum intake, aluminum pistons, and free-flowing exhaust.
In 1965, four-wheel disc brakes had finally made their way onto the Corvette. This had been a long-awaited improvement, as the very powerful engine needed sufficient stopping power.
This 1966 Corvette stingray finished in red with black leather interior is an original California black plate car. It was constructed by the factory with the Turbojet 427/425 L72 option. Since new, it has been well maintained and carefully stored in a garage. It has been recently treated to a ground-up restoration.
The car came equipped from the factory with an AM/FM radio, teak steering wheel, power windows, heavy-duty suspension, lap seat belts, Positraction, and side-mounted exhausts.
At the auction, the car was sold, netting $98,000 and selling below the estimated value.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2007
