JULY 2019 VOLUME 43 NUMBER 07
There are certain Corvettes that are just the flagship of all Corvettes, and a 1966 big-block 425hp packed inside 427 inches
backed up to a four-speed is most certainly in the conversation. For the past 15 years, Ted Stevens has owned such a
Corvette loaded with many of the highly desirable options of the day that included not only the first year for the 427 but
one equipped with transistor ignition, side dual exhaust, close-ratio four-speed, Positraction equipped diff, heavy-duty and
vacuum power brakes, the special front and rear suspension and the cast-aluminum knock-off wheels. Still residing in its one-year only Mosport
Green color, this is one Corvette that gains in beauty and value as the years go by.
