Continuing my father’s legacy; I just took delivery of my first corvette. It is a 1966 L72 HO 4 sp convertible side pipes early manufacturing date. Pearl silver with black leather interior and top. Trim tag matches.
It came out of Ft Lauderdale. Frame off restoration in 2018.
Does this car sound familiar to anyone? I am trying to get any paperwork and photos available detailing the restoration.

ddsRacin - Welcome to the Corvette Forum and sharp looking 1966 L72.
When you have some time, do check out our long running thread for owners of L72s. So far we have over 60 who have joined us, some are bone stock, others like mine...not so much, but they all started out
as factory L72s. We even have folks from overseas like Germany, France, Switzerland, Sweden, the UK and New Zealand.
