Re: 66 Corvette. Big block factory air convertible
Font for Body, Paint, Style and Trim looks different - too crisp? Haven't looked at one in a while, maybe I'm wrong. Black/red not the most common combination.
What about the finish of the bar the tags are attached to? Most I've seen are greenish primer, this looks like a darker crinkle finish and it looks to be under the tags as well?? Jake

Re: 66 Corvette. Big block factory air convertible
I know this is my car but I will have to just offer my humble opinion like anyone else. I have only owned two other mid-years but I don't see anything about the tag on this one that looks out of line compared to the ones I have seen. As far as the paint finish on the bar they are attached too. It is not a crinkle paint the best way to describe it is just a rough poor quality respray that looks a lot more textured in the close up than in person. Like I said I am no expert and would not want to misrepresent anything so any opinion is welcome.

Re: 66 Corvette. Big block factory air convertible
I have some pics of the vin plate and trim tag from a 65, vin 100011. Car was very rough, but the plate and tag looked new. Don't see any problem with that tag.
Wow. Big block A/C car. I have always thought of the 390 hourse 427 as kind of the bastard step child, but I guess it is the most hp you could get from the factory and still get A/C, right? Very cool car.

Re: 66 Corvette. Big block factory air convertible
Kind of hard to beat that car - black over red guts, big block 4 sp vertN Vette with A/C, sidepipes, and knockoffs. 66 is my favorite year, too.
Good luck with the sale. Scott
