1966 Corvette Trivia
- Luxury amenities such as power steering, air conditioning, and leather seats were first available in the 1963 Corvette.
- The earliest serial number air conditioned Sting Ray has a production build date in October, about 6 months before the rest of the A/C
cars. It seems the owner was a GM executive who had the car returned to Chevrolet for refitting with A/C.
- The 1963 roof panel molds were built using wrong dimensions, such that all roof panels were too small. This left a gap seen in the door
pillar above the door latch in all but a few cars. The ones where it is not found were cosmetically covered up with body filler.
- The famous split rear window for the new Corvette almost never came to be. It seems that Bill Mitchell and Zora Arkus-Duntov argued
over the design. Bill Mitchell won out for the 1963 Model, but it was removed for 1964 never to be seen again.
- Aluminum knock off wheels only cost $322 for a set of 5 in 1964.
- Only the drivers side vent on the 1964 Corvette is functional.
- Side mounted exhaust systems first appeared in 1965.
- The first major tire size change in Corvette history occurred in 1965. Tire size changed from 6.70x15 to 7.75x15
- While the 427 was developed first, the 396 went into the Corvette, Chevrolet, and Chevelle in 1965 due to a GM policy restricting them to
less than 400 cubic inches.
- The 1965 396ci 425hp engine option lasted only one year.
- 1965 was the first year to have two separate hoods - the smooth small block hood and the big block hood with a "power bulge."
- 1966 marked the last year for knock off wheels but the first for shoulder harnesses and headrests.
- Only 20 RPO L88 427 engines were opted for in 1967. To discourage street use, GM rated these engines at a conservative 430 hp (5 HP
less than the L71 engine option) although they actually pumped out well in excess of 500 ponies.
- In late February/early March, 1967, some small blocks received the big block hood due to an manufacturing problem with the small block
hood mold. These were not given the hood stripe.
- The "GM Mark of Excellence" sticker appeared, placed on the inside driver's door jamb, appeared in 1967 only.
- Federal law mandated the removal of spinners from wheels in 1967, so the knock off wheel of 1963-66 was replaced with a bolt on wheel.
- 1967 was the first year vinyl was offered as an optional exterior covering for the hardtop.
- The 67 model was the first to have the tank sticker, or the build sheet, attached to the gas tank.
- A 36 gallon fuel tank, the largest ever offered, was available as an option in the Corvette from 1963 to 1967.
- The speed warning indicator option lasted for only three production years... 1967, 1968 and 1969.
