Hey Folks!

Over the years I have owned many Special Interest and/or Classic Automobiles. I am semi-retired and wanted to get my next Special Ride. After a lot of thought, I ended up purchasing a 1966 Corvette Coupe! I call her Suzie and she’s a Red-Head. Numbers matching L79 (327ci/350hp), Close Ratio Muncie T21 with Posi (3.70 gears). It’s in Grade 2 condition and am busy fixing some of its short comings (new Power Antenna, Clock and such. I love the sound of the lumpy L79 at idle. The high revving 327 and the whine of the Muncie gives me Goose Bumps!

Welcome to the forum, Floyd, and congratulations on your sharp '66!
I also had a couple with the L79 and agree it was one nice sounding engine and pretty peppy, too!

OK, here you go:

Just got her home!

My stable is complete, at least for now!

The L79 in all her glory!

I love the coupe profile.
