The second-generation Corvette, or C2, launched in 1963 and instantly became an icon, solidifying the Corvette's place as America's premier sports car. With its revolutionary Sting Ray design penned by Bill Mitchell, Larry Shinoda, and Peter Brock, it was a dramatic departure from the C1. The C2 introduced independent rear suspension, vastly improving handling, but it was the engine options that truly set it apart. While small-block V8s were potent, the arrival of the big-block 427 in 1966 marked a new era of performance, transforming the Corvette into a genuine muscle car killer. The L36 variant, producing a robust 390 horsepower, offered a compelling blend of power and everyday usability, making it a highly desirable choice for enthusiasts seeking both brute force and refinement. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible presents an exceptionally rare and desirable configuration from the C2 era, combining the legendary big-block 427 with the cruising comfort of an automatic transmission. Under the hood lies the potent L36 427 V8, factory-rated at a formidable 390 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Paired with its automatic gearbox and a 3.36 limited-slip rear axle, this Corvette delivers effortless big-block performance, a combination produced in extremely limited numbers for those who preferred a more relaxed driving experience without sacrificing the raw power of the 427. Showing 0 miles, this meticulously prepared example is ready for its next chapter. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a distinctly configured big-block C2 Corvette, blending rarity with iconic performance.
