Re: Day 2 66 L72
Yes those BFG tires are terrible!!! It would look good with a set of MH racemasters and some cragers. It would be tempting to drive it like that for a bit but a complete back to 100% original restoration is what it would get. I have been following the car for years. Talked to all the owners even the originals son who ordered it new at Commonwealth Chevrolet in Boston Mass in Nov 1965.

Re: Day 2 66 L72
----I used to buy cars wholesale from Commonwealth Chevy in the early 70s. I also used to haunt the dealership back in 64/66 era just looking at Chebbies. Finally bought my 66 427/425 in Wellesley in May of 66.....Bill S

Re: Day 2 66 L72
Man, that is a bitchin' Vette and even though I'm a huge Day Two fan, I'd like to see it put back to Day One someday! Great original colors and I'll tell 'ya . . . . whoever owned that car originally was The King of their town wherever they lived! A '66 L-72 427 with factory 4.56 gears out back makes for one bad-azz mo-fo!

Its an A.O smith built car. The Vin# is in the 1800's You can see where the original hood support was on the passenger side. Its neat how early 66 big blocks used left over 65 bb hoods. The only original pieces missing to the car are the 827 and 828 exhaust manifolds and the 2nd owner polished the original 069 intake. The original FC suffix 4:56 rear is still with the car. Everything is exactly as the original protecto plate states. The N11 off road undercar exhaust is one of the first 427 cars equipped as such. It also a A31 power window car which I thought it was kinda odd considering how the rest of the car was optioned.

Re: Day 2 66 L72
Wow the original color combo on this car would be absolutely stunning.
This would run neck and neck with a Silver pearl over Red leather white top for my favorite combo. IMHO The 66 L72's one of the most overlooked high performance cars one can buy.

Re: Day 2 66 L72
I did notice the hood prop which is why I asked for the vin.
My car is vin 22XX and it has a 65 dated hood. No other options but power windows, tele column, teak wheel, KH knock offs, and 4:11s. Very cool! Dan
