1966 l72
 

pro engine shop rebuilt

Those are sweet running engines

was bought new at parts counter in 1966 at Chase Chevrolet in Stockton Ca. chase is still in business. i would think its worth the most to a 66 or 67 corvette

its still owned by the original owner who bought it new

----Not 67 as 67 big blocks were all 351's!......Bill S

date codes are 1966

deck stamp
TO117ID

why are we selling in this forum?

Its called a mistake,sorrrrrrrrrrry

Looks to me like he's just asking for opinions on value, which no one has ventured as of yet :dunno:

It just sold

ID code
 

Isn't code ID a 66-68 Full size 427/425 with manual trans? And if casting is from a 66, the 66 Full size unless late in the 66 year, but there aren't any 67 L72 cars.

Yes, it is.

Wow it must have been bought DURING the 66 model year production - given that it has an Assembly stamp and not a CE.
