The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2 or Sting Ray, burst onto the scene in 1963, marking a dramatic departure from its predecessors. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of Bill Mitchell, its iconic "split-window" coupe (for 1963 only) and sleek roadster bodywork instantly cemented its place in automotive history. The C2 brought with it independent rear suspension, a first for the Corvette, transforming its handling dynamics and solidifying its position as a true sports car contender. By 1966, the Sting Ray was a well-honed machine, having seen continuous refinement. This year also marked the introduction of the potent big-block 427 cubic inch V8, though a range of small-block options still offered thrilling performance for enthusiasts. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible presents an exciting opportunity to own a numbers-matching example of this legendary American icon. Showing 45,329 miles on the odometer, it’s described as a driver-quality car, ready for its next chapter. While the original color is no longer present, it currently wears a silver pearl finish, which the seller notes is in need of a refresh, offering the next owner a blank canvas to restore it to its factory glory or personalize it to their taste. The presence of a hardtop adds versatility, allowing for open-air cruising or a more enclosed experience. This Sting Ray awaits a discerning enthusiast ready to bring its full potential to life.
