Not Desperate to sell but it would help. I bought this from the Cousin of the original buyer. The story on this 1966 Corvette is Factory 427-425hp (N.O.M.) Now a 1969 Impala 427 Motor (390hp) with 425hp cam (sound great!), if you remember the first gas crisis in 1973, the original owner liked driving the Corvette but not the gas mileage.He also owned a 1966/67 Chevelle "Show Car" with a small block in it that he rarely drove. He proceeded to swap the two motors figuring some day he would switch them back. In 1969 he sold the Corvette to his Cousin, (the person I bought it from). A few years later the original owner DIES and the wife sells the Chevelle with the Corvette Motor still inside, without telling the cousin. (I have been try
ing to track down the Chevelle but with NO LUCK so far. ODO shows 55,958 may (believed to be close to original) or may not be original miles, the person I bought the car from said the ODO stop working shortly before I bought the car (a very common C2 issue). I have only driven the car about 150 miles in the 3 years I have owned it. Anyway the Cousin found and installed the 427-390hp Impala motor that's in the Corvette now.
