T he 1966 Corvette was very similar to the
1965 model. There were subtle differences in trim, including the addition to the Corvette
script to the hood, and a new square mesh cast grill. The roof vents were deleted.
Headrests were available for the first time. This was the first year for the
famous 427 Big Block engine. A 327ci 300hp engine and 3 speed manual
transmission were the base driveline options.
