1966 Chevrolet Corvette Survivor
This 1966 corvette could be a candidate for the Bloomington Survivor award, as this corvette reeks with originality. This corvette is a 1966 matching numbers Trophy Blue convertible. This corvette was manufactured on or about February 23, 1966.
The original exterior paint color of this corvette is Trophy Blue, which is close to a silver-blue. The exterior paint is mostly original paint, probably 75% to 80%. It is obvious that most of the paint on this car's exterior including the auxiliary hard top, is mostly the original paint. There were only 1,463 corvettes made in 1966, with the exterior color of Trophy Blue. The soft top is white in color and the soft top functions as it should. The soft top does not have any rips or tears in the material. The original chrome bumpers are in very nice condition, as are the original wheel covers.
The original color of the interior is dark blue. It's interior is also mostly original, with maybe the front carpet being replaced sometime in this corvette's history. The dash pads are the original dash pads and they look very nice. The seat covers and door panels are also original. The soft top frame and the soft top underside are also in very nice condition. The dash gauges are all original, along with the radio, and they all function properly. The glove box door and interior are also original and they are also in very nice condition.
The 427/390 hp engine runs very strong, and it starts immediately, with just a touch of the ignition key. The motor is the original motor, as is the engine stamp. The assembly stamp on the engine pad is T0215IL, which indicates February 15, 1966, and it also indicates that the engine is a 390 hp engine. The vin number of this corvette is also stamped on the engine pad, as it should be. The engine block number is 3839942, and the casting number is A 21 6, which is January 21, 1966. The cast iron intake manifold is part number 3866948. The carburetor is a correct Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and the part number is 3370A. The exhaust manifolds are also the correct part numbers: 3880828 for the rh side, and 3880827 for the lh side. The factory big block ignition shielding is also in place. The Delco alternator is part number 1100693, 37A, which is correct, with a build date of 6 B 15, which is February 15, 1966. The voltage regulator is also the correct part number 1119515, made by Delco, with a build date of 6B, February, 1966. The big block radiator appears to be the original radiator.
The frame is very clean and it has no rust or frame rot. It appears that there has never been any damage or repairs to the frame. The front A-arms and the rear trailing arms are also in very nice original condition. There are no leaks or extraneous noises from the exhaust system. The brake lines and calibers have been recently serviced, and they are in fine working condition. All factory lower dust shields are in place. The Muncie 4-speed transmission shifts like only an original corvette transmission does. The transmission also has the original transmission tag in place. The rear end is the original rear end with the code of
FA 2 14 66, which means it has a build date of Feb 14, 1966. The rear end ratio is 3.70.
Everything mechanical and electrical operates exactly as it should. This includes the headlight and parking lights (both front and back), headlight motors, the horns, windshield wipers (both low speed and high speeds), clock, radio (both AM and FM), cigarette lighter, all interior gauges including the speedometer and tachometer, odometer and odometer reset, the high beam and turn indicators, the turn signals and hazard flasher, the heater and defroster, the vent pulls, windows and vent windows, door locks and glove box lock, seat adjustments, deck lid, soft top, the back-up lights, and the license and tail lights. The tires are black walls, in excellent condition.
The original GM trim tag and original GM engine pad have been verified by several high level NCRS master judges, as being the original components. This corvette was recently used (August, 2006) at the Corvette Homecoming Event, in Bowling Green, Kentucky as a prime example of an unrestored corvette.

The frame on this corvette is very original with no frame rot or rust holes.
The odometer shows 13,198 miles. I do not believe that this figure is correct, and I believe that the actual mileage is between 20,000 to 80,000 miles. The previous owner owned this corvette from August of 1978 until 2 months ago.
