L72 Big Cars
The guys that like BIG cars will enjoy this. Last Sunday I had the pleasure of meeting up with 2 friends and we brought our cars together to check out and BS about things. The interesting thing is, the 3 cars are all 1966 Chevrolet Caprices, factory equipped with 427/425hp L72 engines. It's something you don't see everyday. Through various contacts with clubs and such, we have knowledge of 8 L72 '66 Caprices. Estimates of how many were actually built is something like 50. These 3 are currently in California. This spread of cars represents 3 different factories. Mine (Marina Blue/Black) was built in Norwood the first week (01A) of January 1966, the Black/Red car was built in Atlanta the second week (01B) of January 1966 and the Sandlewood Tan/Fawn car (all documents) was built in Doraville (a BOP plant outside of Atlanta) the fourth week (04D) of April 1966. The Sandlewood Tan car is going up on the Barrett-Jackson Auction on Thursday (lot 710), so we knew we had to get them all together for some pics before it goes to another owner. Here's a few pics.
Don't cut the grass!
