Though it had no more horsepower than the previous high-compression 396, the 427 cu in, 450 hp (later 425 hp) V-8 packed a lot more torque - 460 pound/feet vs. 415.The 1966 model's frontal appearance was mildly altered with an eggcrate grille insert to replace the previous horizontal bars, and the coupe lost its roof-mounted extractor vents, which had proven inefficient. Corvettes also received an emblem in the corner of the hood for 1966. Head rests were a new option, one of the rarest options was the Red/Red Automatic option with power windows and air conditioning from factory which records show production numbered only 7 convertibles and 33 coupes.
