The second-generation Corvette, known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963 as a radical departure from its predecessor, cementing its place as an American icon. Penned by Bill Mitchell, Larry Shinoda, and Peter Brock, its distinctive split-window coupe (for 1963 only) and elegant convertible designs were inspired by Mitchell's Sting Ray racer. By 1966, the C2 was in its penultimate year, having evolved into a more refined yet still potent machine. While big-block engines were gaining traction, the small-block V8 remained the heart of many Corvettes, with the L79 327/350hp engine being a particularly desirable and high-revving option, offering a perfect balance of power and agility for the discerning enthusiast. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible exemplifies the C2's enduring appeal, showcasing a numbers-matching L79 327/350hp V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, a quintessential enthusiast's setup. Dressed in a striking code-correct Nassau Blue exterior over a white and blue vinyl interior, this example presents a truly classic and sought-after color combination. With just 68,000 miles on the odometer, it boasts desirable period options including a posi-traction rear differential, side exhaust, and iconic knock-off wheels, all contributing to its authentic and aggressive stance. This C2 Corvette offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and mechanically sound example of one of America's most beloved sports cars.
