The second-generation Corvette, known internally as the C2 and affectionately as the "Sting Ray," burst onto the scene in 1963, a radical departure from its C1 predecessor. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the direction of Bill Mitchell, the C2 introduced an independent rear suspension, a sleek, aerodynamic body with hidden headlamps, and a distinct "split-window" design for its inaugural year (later revised). The 1966 model year, part of the C2’s mid-cycle, saw refinements rather than wholesale changes, solidifying its reputation as a serious performance machine. It was a time when big-block power began to truly dominate, cementing the Corvette's place in American muscle car lore and on drag strips across the country. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, despite its stated 0 miles, presents itself as a thoughtfully prepared example, ready for spirited driving. Though the engine details are not specified, the presence of a Muncie M22 "Rock Crusher" 4-speed manual transmission, paired with a Hurst shifter, strongly suggests a focus on robust performance and driver engagement. The interior features a 4-point racing harness and bucket seats, hinting at a track-oriented setup, while Lion Hart high-speed tires and an Optima battery further underscore its performance intentions. This Corvette offers a compelling blend of classic Sting Ray aesthetics and performance-minded upgrades for the discerning enthusiast.
