The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963 as a radical departure from its predecessor. With its iconic split rear window (for 1963 only), independent rear suspension, and sleeker, more aerodynamic lines penned by Larry Shinoda and Peter Brock under the direction of Bill Mitchell, it instantly became a design legend. The C2 cemented the Corvette's status as America's premier sports car, offering a potent blend of style and performance that could rival Europe's best. By 1966, the Sting Ray was a refined machine, still offering a range of small-block V8s, but now with the added option of big-block power, further solidifying its muscle car credentials while retaining its pure sports car essence. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible arrives as a compelling "barn find," presenting a canvas for its next enthusiast owner. Showing 65,710 miles, this Sting Ray is powered by its original-spec 327 V8, mated to a manual transmission, promising an engaging, period-correct driving experience once brought back to its former glory. While its current condition hints at years of slumber, the underlying charisma of this vintage machine is undeniable, offering the rare opportunity to acquire a true enthusiast's project. This is an exciting prospect for anyone eager to revive an American icon and shape its next chapter.
