1966 Corvette convertible

[L78M22Rag]

I contacted the seller asking about documentation... His reply:

“nothing but the vin and trim tag. it has the heavy duty sway bar, tach and oil gauge for 427 car also steel oil line and the indented cross member under harmonic balancer. I had it looked at by a guy that knows a lot about big block vettes he says pretty sure its the real deal.”

----All cross members in 1966 had the indent in the front crossmember. That change came fairly early in 1965 when they found out that the 396 harmonic balancer couldn't be removed without raising the engine up off it's mounts......Bill S

----Milano Maroon/saddle gut was my choice when I went to Lee Chevrolet in Wellesley Hills Ma. and ordered my 1966 Milano Maroon 427/425 convert Corvette. It came in around the 1st of May and My Mom drove it home as I was away at school. I wasn't able to even see it until graduation day in late May. Gut wrenching for a 19 year old dummy like me, but I made up for it!!! I was a very lucky kid and have never forgotten that day or my wonderful Mom, who could drive the wheels off the Vette.......Bill S

Non-factory rear sway bar and crazy amount of rust behind the VIN tag....proceed with caution.
