PRETTY sure this is one of the "Special" 1966 L72 M22 Big Brake cars (some referred to the iron headed L88's) Didn't Marty Shorr report on them back in 66?

----M22 Corvettes were rare enough in 66 (15 built), and J56 brakes a little less so (382), but the stunner in 66 was that 6 (I am almost sure of that figure) L88 Corvettes were built and released by Chevrolet in 66. None were for public consumption but at least 2 still exist and are beautifully restored. There were also 65 Corvettes built with 396 and M22s, but I only know of one for sure and it is unrestored.......Bill S
