The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2 or Sting Ray, burst onto the scene in 1963, representing a radical departure from its predecessor. With its iconic split-window coupe (for '63 only) and sleek, aerodynamic lines penned by Larry Shinoda and Peter Brock under the direction of Bill Mitchell, the C2 quickly became a design icon. Beyond its stunning looks, the Sting Ray introduced independent rear suspension, significantly improving handling and solidifying its reputation as a true sports car. The 1966 model year, nestled in the heart of C2 production, continued to refine the formula, offering a range of powerful small-block and big-block V8s that cemented the Corvette's place in American performance lore, with total production for '66 reaching over 27,000 units. This stunning 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible exemplifies the quintessential Sting Ray experience, presented in a vibrant red exterior over a classic black interior. Power comes from its numbers-matching 327 cubic-inch V8, factory rated at 300 horsepower, paired with a four-speed manual transmission for an engaging, driver-focused experience. Showing a modest 59,000 miles on the odometer, this C2 has been recently refreshed, with the engine having been rebuilt in 2023 and accumulating less than 600 miles since. Recent maintenance also includes a new exhaust, fuel pump, calipers, and brakes, ensuring it's mechanically sorted and ready for the road. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained and numbers-matching example of one of America's most beloved sports cars.
