The C2 Corvette, produced from 1963 to 1967, is arguably one of the most iconic generations of America's sports car. Its revolutionary "Sting Ray" design, penned by Bill Mitchell, Larry Shinoda, and Peter Brock, broke from the C1's more traditional styling, introducing hidden headlights and a distinctive boat-tail rear. While the production C2 was a formidable performer, Chevrolet’s legendary Zora Arkus-Duntov harbored a secret desire to take on Carroll Shelby's Cobras. This led to the creation of the ultra-lightweight, wide-body Grand Sport racers – just five were ever built, making them automotive legends and some of the most valuable Corvettes in existence. Their aggressive stance and purpose-built design left an indelible mark on Corvette enthusiasts, inspiring generations of tributes and recreations. This particular 1966 Chevrolet Corvette embodies the spirit of those mythical Grand Sports, reimagined for modern driving. Professionally constructed by Mid America Industries as a Grand Sport II, it captures the unmistakable wide-body character while incorporating significantly updated performance. Under the hood lies a potent LS-1 5.7L V8 engine, paired with an automatic transmission, offering a thrilling and tractable driving experience far removed from its carbureted ancestors. Showing a mere 10,812 miles, this coupe presents in excellent condition. Accompanied by extensive Mid America Industries documentation, including its original Grand Sport II Assembly Agreement signed by President Jeffrey J. Leech in 1998, this car offers a unique blend of vintage aesthetics and contemporary power.
