The second-generation Corvette, universally known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963, marking a radical departure from its C1 predecessor. Designed by a team led by Larry Shinoda and under the watchful eye of Bill Mitchell, the C2 introduced an iconic, aerodynamically sculpted body and, for the first time, an independent rear suspension, transforming the Corvette's handling prowess. The mid-year C2s, produced from 1963 to 1967, are celebrated for their purity of design and their potent big-block engine options, cementing their status as one of America's most beloved sports cars and a true icon of the muscle car era. This isn't just a meticulously restored 1966 Corvette; it's a fresh, ground-up custom build that reimagines the Sting Ray legend with modern performance and show-stopping aesthetics. Completed in 2025 by Creative Rod Custom, a recipient of the Goodguys 2019 Trendsetter of the Year award, this convertible has been built from the bare fiberglass up on a Roadster Shop chassis. Every panel was perfected and finished in a striking metallic burgundy PPG basecoat/clearcoat, highlighting the body's subtle refinements and gleaming show-quality chrome. Underneath its timeless lines lies a supercharged 6.2L LS3 V8 engine, paired with a manual transmission, promising exhilarating power delivery and an engaging driving experience. Rolling on Schott 18- and 19-inch Mach V wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, this Corvette has covered a mere 35 miles since its completion, presenting in immaculate, as-new condition. This is an unparalleled opportunity to acquire a bespoke C2 Corvette that perfectly blends vintage allure with contemporary engineering.
