Data Request - November 1965 Production - 427/390

[Jack M.]

I'm looking for information regarding 427/390 production data for early 1966 Corvettes.
More specifically, I have the following:

• 1966 VIN - 058XX (full VIN available via PM or email)
• Engine Build - TIII3IL (Saturday, Nov 13, 1965)
• C-15 Trim Tag (Monday, Nov 15, 1965 - St Louis Body)
• Shipping Date - Wednesday, Nov 17, 1965 (obtained ages ago from NATB)

As you can see, there's a very small window between the engine date and the build date of the vehicle.
This could be a great example of 'last in/first off' when it comes to shipping/installing the engine.

I'd appreciate hearing from '66 owners with similar 427/390 engines and November 1965 build dates.
If you prefer privacy and confidentiality, feel free to contact me via PM or email:

Thanx,
Jack

Jack -- this old one of mine 194376S104166, delivered new to Montreal Canada. I owned for 3 months in early '69. Nassau on dark blue, K66, PW. Engine stamp pad: T1019IL 6104166. Birthday calculator shows Friday Oct 29th, 1965. St. Louis body 'cause it had sidepipes.

So 10 day spread on the engine, but earlier than the timeframe you'd like.

Thanx for the reply, Wayne... any significant data in that time frame is appreciated.
And if anyone else has a very close C2 engine/car build, I'd like to hear from you.

I sold my 425hp roadster about 10 years ago, but it was close to your time frame request...

VIN: 106768
Engine: T1117IP
C24 trim tag (St. Louis)
Bday: Nov 26, 1965 (Bday calculator)
