Took the Vette out for a little spin yesterday. Mid 40 degree weather is ideal for those L72 cars! I rarely share photos of my Corvette but what the heck... its just a car right. Finally put the Duntov sticker on the car. Newest edition radials from Coker with original lug nut wheels makes driving nice.
We almost made it to spring guys... almost.

Thanks guys! The car is really in the best shape of it's life.
The past owners took very good care of it. We have a lead on a few potential previous owners. Looking to put the mysteries of the Vette's past to rest!

Thanks for the kind words guys. Been a while since I did share photos.
I have a couple more to share. From the Boston NCRS show this summer...

Will be on Duntov Display at the Seven Springs NCRS Regional show in PA this summer next to our good friend's '65 L78 Vette which has every stitch of paperwork out there even a magazine feature. It is one of the best '65 L78's in the country - yellow/black original side pipes http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drool.gif - Duntov award about two years ago. First time in years we can enjoy the show without the nerves of judging. Also, future plans include Bloomington Gold and Vette Fest for a Triple Crown.

Growing up beside the Mosport track as a Corvette crazy kid, the '66 L72 Coupes specifically in Mosport Green have always been my dream car!.
Best of luck w/ your history search!.

Forgot to mention. Eric (our sponsor, Vintage Muscle Car parts) restored the original carb after Holley did a horrible job in both mechanics and cosmetics. Now, the L72 runs like a TOP!
Thanks E! The judges LOVED the look of the carb at the NCRS National. His attention to detail is second to none!
