1966 Chevy Corvette

1966 CHEVY CORVETTE STYLING CHANGES
New for 1966, there was a new egg crate-style front grille and functional engine compartment cooling vents. Big block cars got Corvette crossed flag emblems above the fender vents. Big block cars also got a special power bulge hood to make room for the bigger engine. Backup lights, now standard, were incorporated into the tail lights. The vents formerly on the B-pillar on coupes disappeared in favor of a smooth panel and a much cleaner look.

1966 CHEVY CORVETTE MECHANICAL UPGRADES
The new 427ci (7.0 liter) Mark IV Big Block V8 became the new top-line Corvette engine, replacing the 396 big block. The new Turbo Jet 427 came in 2 flavors: RPO# L36 with 390hp, and RPO# L72 with 425hp. An L72-equipped 1966 Corvette could hit 60mph in just 5.7 seconds and cover the quarter mile in 14 seconds. Three 4-speed manual transmissions were available, RPO# M20 was the standard 4-speed, RPO# M21 was the close ratio gear box, and RPO# M22 was the heavy duty close ratio box. Holley carburetors became standard on all engines.
