The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963 as a radical departure from its predecessor, cementing its place as an American icon. Designed by Larry Shinoda and Peter Brock under the direction of Bill Mitchell, its sleek, aerodynamic lines and independent rear suspension transformed the Corvette from a sporty cruiser into a genuine world-class sports car. The 1966 model year saw refinements rather than wholesale changes, with subtle styling tweaks and an expanded engine lineup. This era is particularly cherished by enthusiasts for its purity of design, predating the more heavily regulated bumpers and emissions equipment of later years, and solidifying the C2's legacy as one of the most beautiful Corvettes ever produced. This particular 1966 Corvette coupe presents a unique opportunity, boasting a remarkable history of single-owner stewardship from 1970 until 2025. With a documented 61,000 actual miles and its numbers-matching components verified by the original Protect-O-Plate, this car stands as a testament to diligent care. Its mint original body shows no rust issues and is believed to be a "no-hit" example, with outstanding panel fit. Adding to its distinctiveness is the rare 3-speed automatic transmission, an option found in only 564 Corvettes built in 1966, making this a truly unique find for the discerning collector. This is a chance to acquire a meticulously preserved piece of American automotive history, ready for its next chapter.
