The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2 or "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 design (for 1963 only) and advanced independent rear suspension immediately cemented its place in automotive history. The C2 evolved through 1967, continually refining its blend of American muscle and European-inspired styling. The 1966 model year, in particular, is highly regarded for its balanced aesthetics and robust powertrain options, including the legendary big-block engines, before the styling changes of the final C2 year. This particular 1966 Corvette coupe is a breathtaking reimagining of the classic, boasting a mere 95 miles on a comprehensive, no-expense-spared build. Beneath its timeless lines lies a monstrous 632 CI Merlin Block engine, force-fed by a Hilborn 8-stack EFI system managed by Holley HP, and exhaling through custom stainless headers and a 4-inch exhaust. Power is expertly delivered to the pavement via a Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission, paired with a Mantic dual-disc clutch rated for over 1,000 ft-lbs of torque. This C2 rides on a custom Art Morrison chassis with a 2-inch stretched wheelbase, featuring a 10-point roll cage, power rack and pinion steering, a 4-link rear suspension, and Strange coil-over shocks at all four corners, all culminating in a narrowed Strange 9-inch rear end. This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a meticulously engineered and thoroughly modern interpretation of an American icon.
