Exhaust is intact.

Forgot to mention that the knock-offs are reproduction.

Thanks for looking.

The M20 Muncie wide ratio 4-speed transmission was not available with 1966 Corvette RPOLS2 engine.
Only transmissions available were M21/M22 (M22Early) both these transmissions are close ratio 2:20.1 first gear. The M22 Muncie is known as the rock cruse.
The staight cut gears built for durability made the transmission noisey and was not advisable for street use.
However if the transmission was available back in July 1966 for the 1967 Corvette model year for L36 (427 390 HP) engine would have spent the $237.00 for M22 over $188.00 for M21.
July 1966 is the month I ordered 194677S100560 (1967 St Louis body #560) BB with off road service accessary.

Nice! Your car is exactly 100 cars after my SB. Yours left on Monday and mine was done on Friday. The numbers all line up with mine (within a few days). Fun stuff - Good Luck!

Hi,
You are correct my specially built 1967 Corvette model 19467 was finished on Monday.
The full VIN is 194677S100560. I have known this number from mid September 1966 and will never forget.
It was very exciting to buy brand new Corvette at twenty years old.
The Corvette was delivered to the dealer two weeks before announcement date of September 29, 1966.
The dealer hid the Corvette in rear garage from prying eyes.
Back in the day new cars were completely covered when transported.
I looked at the Corvette every day at the dealership (Curhan Chevrolet Randolph Massachusetts until driving Corvette home.
I had the first 1967 Corvette BB with off road accessary in my area of Natick/Framingham Massachusetts. Off road exhaust was $36.90 back in the day. Not to be confused with dual side mounted exhaust RPON14 @ $137.00

Sorry Tom for the confusion, but my car was built just before the OP's May car.

Beautiful 1966 Corvette Convertible .
The 1966 heater and radio control ***** are more atractve/robust and of higher quality than on 1967 Corvette.
The C7 Corvette is a wonderful vehicle but the biggest hit was the C2 1963 Corvette Sting Ray.
I remember driving 1965 model 67 style with 327CID 365BHP 4-speed Muncie M21 (2:20.1 first gear) and positraction 4:11.1.
This Corvette was a rocket with blinding acceleration.
