I can't tell you, for sure, what it denotes in this case. However, N-66 is an RPO code generally used for some sort of wheel option.

I'm sure this isn't it but what was the RPO for extra coolant

Re: 1967 Mysterious RPO Code

From an old Chevrolet 1973 parts book N66 is Super sport wheel hub cap and trim ring

My Daytona Yellow '69 396 SS Camaro had those wheels, look like MagStars.

Could it be N36, the telescopic steering column?

I believe it was V48. The main RPO for Canadian export cars was Z49.

Re: 1967 Mysterious RPO Code

It could be a base car "scheduling option" (which never shows up on price stickers, Car Shippers, wholesale GMAC invoices, etc.) to recognize the unique rally wheel, trim rings, and center cap; previously, every base Corvette ever built had full wheel covers.

Greg, Mike -- I've seen this before; once, and might be the same car. I concluded it was a typo and should have been K66 (T.I.) Check the suffix and see if ECL matches the other options you have [if you're lucky to have Noland's book handy]. Also, as GM Canada entered these manually (I think), if it's a typo, the D66 will be found out of sequence, closer to the J, K L and M prefixes, and not in the A, C, G prior grouping, which is where you would expect a "D" to be.

If this doesn't fit, I will book an hour this afternoon to go through the sheets.

Greg --- this might be it, if VIN 059xx. Bracketed words are my add.

STD (trim), FF (Marina), 95521 (dealer #), 02A01AA, 02F41AC (AC=L71 only), 02G81PA (PA=4.11's), 02J50MA (MA=L68 or L71), 02M21AA (AA=L36 or L71), 02N14AB (AB=L36,L71 or L88), 02N40AM (AM=L71), 02N66DA (DA=normally K66 w/L71), 02U69AA (mistake, should be HA=L71 w/N14), 02V48AA (however Zapora describes it).

Conclusion: N66 obviously a typo [ie. data entry having a bad day] Most other option suffixes point to L71, or L71 in conjunction with another big block. But the biggest omission is they forgot the L71AA. Must be an interesting window or tank sticker.
