The second-generation Corvette, universally known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963 as a radical departure from its predecessor. Designed by a team led by Larry Shinoda and under the styling direction of Bill Mitchell, the C2 introduced an iconic, aerodynamic fastback coupe alongside the classic convertible, both featuring a revolutionary independent rear suspension. It was a car born from a desire for sharper handling and more aggressive styling, instantly becoming a symbol of American performance. The 1966 model year, in particular, saw refinements like an egg-crate grille insert and the removal of the hood vents, while retaining the purity of the early C2 design before the C3's more dramatic styling shift. This striking 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, finished in a vibrant yellow, embodies the spirit of the era. With a remarkably low 44,000 miles on the odometer, this Sting Ray has evidently been cherished throughout its life. Under the hood lies the potent, numbers-matching 300 HP 327 cubic-inch V8, paired with a crisp 4-speed manual transmission – the quintessential enthusiast's drivetrain for an authentic, engaging experience. Its excellent condition speaks to careful ownership, presenting a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of automotive history. This is a chance to acquire a meticulously preserved example of one of America's most beloved sports cars.
