The second-generation Corvette, known internally as the C2 and affectionately as the "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963 as a radical departure from its predecessor. Penned by Larry Shinoda and Peter Brock under the direction of Bill Mitchell, its iconic split-window coupe design and razor-sharp lines instantly cemented its place in automotive history. Beyond aesthetics, the C2 introduced independent rear suspension, a first for Corvette, transforming its handling dynamics. By 1966, the Sting Ray was a refined powerhouse, offering a range of potent V8 engines and solidifying its reputation as America's sports car, a true competitor to Europe's finest. This stunning 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Convertible is a testament to the C2's enduring appeal, reimagined for the modern era. The recipient of a comprehensive, no-expense-spared frame-off build completed by CRC Corvettes, it seamlessly marries classic mid-year aesthetics with contemporary performance. Under the hood lies a formidable 7.0L LS7 V8 engine, providing a significant upgrade in power and reliability compared to its original powerplant. With just 856 miles accrued since the completion of its professional build, this custom Corvette presents a unique opportunity to own a meticulously crafted machine that offers the best of both worlds: the timeless style of a C2 and the exhilarating performance of a modern Z06.
