Info on 1966 big block VIN 194676S112675

[Edward M.]

There is an ongoing discussion about this car on CF.

The car is currently a "matching numbers" 427/425hp car, painted Mosport Green with a Saddle leather interior. The TRIM Tag is missing from the car. Yes, this is not a recommended color combination, and that is why the speculation of the missing trim tag comes from.

I am wondering if anyone has any info on this car. It was last sold by Mecum to the current owner in Texas.

The history of the car is:

The car was sold originally on Oregon. Then according to the NMVTIS report, it next appears in Alabama. After that it appears in Ohio (I wonder if this is the Marshal Goldman in Cleveland appearance), then Illinois, and finally Texas. So the history looks something like:

xx/xx/1966 - Oregon
43 year gap
06/10/2009 - Alabama
9 year gap - my guess is that this is when the restoration was done
07/13/2018 - Ohio
08/09/2018 - Ohio (probably a title correction)
10/29/2018 - Illinois
12/17/2018 - Texas

This is my car and it's already posted on this site too. I ran it past a local NCRS expert and he doesn't think it is possible that the car is numbers matching. Hasn't seen a numbers matching car with block # 3855961. There is some documentation that this block was used in early production 1966 Corvettes, but he says based on the VIN mine would be a mid year production and would not use this block. He said although it is difficult to tell, the stamping does not appear to be original.

I would still love any history someone might have on the car just out of curiosity. With it not being numbers matching drive we will likely go with a different block. This thin walled block has a tendency to overheat and we have experienced that too.

Everett,
I saw the pictures posted of your car on the CF...absolutely stunning color combo. Still can't figure out why the factory didn't offer that combo back in '66. What part of Texas do you live in? If the DFW area, hope to see you out and about with your fabulous new addition.

I'm about 2 1/2 hours south of you, but we come up there occasionally. It is a really nice car. Next one will be an early C3.
