The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963 as a radical departure from its predecessor. Designed by Larry Shinoda and Peter Brock under the guidance of Bill Mitchell, its iconic split-window coupe and sleek roadster bodies established the Corvette as a true American sports car, capable of competing with the best Europe had to offer. The C2 introduced independent rear suspension, a first for Corvette, significantly improving handling. By 1966, the split window was gone, but the C2's aggressive lines and potent small-block and big-block V8 options continued to define its legendary status, cementing its place as one of the most desirable Corvettes ever produced. This striking 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, showing 78,406 miles, embodies the C2's timeless appeal. It features a replacement 327 cubic-inch V8, which, while not numbers-matching, is a period-correct powerplant for a C2 and is equipped with an Edelbrock carburetor, sending 350 horsepower through a recently refreshed Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. The sinister black exterior is enhanced by a big-block style hood and the unmistakable roar of side pipes, while 15-inch Kelsey Hayes wheels wrapped in Coker Classic tires complete its classic stance. Power steering and power disc brakes ensure a confident driving experience, and the car comes with both a black hardtop and a white soft top, offering versatility for any enthusiast. This is an opportunity to own a beautifully presented example of one of America's most celebrated automotive designs.
