I have a 66 vert with factory air that I believe to be a real BB. I have read that there were 1,382 verts with air produced, but I can't find any info on how many were BBs. I'm curious as to how many there were. Anybody know?

Nobody knows for sure. About 10,000 of the 27,700 66's were big-blocks, and convertibles were 2/3 of production; you have to extrapolate from there.

I had red/red BB vert with air for awhile. Thats makes two. Actually, I have never seen another one.

In Noland's book I believe it is stated that less than 200 BB 4sp roadsters were built with A-C. I have one.

I sold my original Complete Corvette Resto & Tech Guide2 when they were out of print, so that the ebay scalpers got 1 less customer. I am looking at the revised 2nd edition (signed by Noland Adams) that I bought a couple of years later, and on pg336 the BA ecl for c60 lists 342 convertibles with c60 - and I assume some were auto - but I can't find a note on how many, so either my memory is bad (definite possibility) or I'd have to read the whole book from cover to cover again to see if I could trip over a number.

At any rate, lacking a better number, of the 27,720 1966 cars produced, 1.2% were BB A-C roadsters, not exactly a popular (but expensive) option combo back then.

It is safe to say there are more clones than actual production. Now a base engine car...... that will be rare.

Roughly 3,520 1966 Corvettes were Factory Produced with "C60" Air Conditioning. Also in 1966 there were approximately 8,358 L-36 (427ci - 390hp) cars. As already stated no one knows the exact number; but if you do the math you could probably come pretty close to your answer.

Less than 200 built? What book are you talking about? I'd like to have that!

PS IMO if you own a c2, you should have a copy to read and reference
