The Chevrolet Corvette C2, often celebrated as the "Sting Ray," represents a pivotal moment in American automotive design and performance. Introduced in 1963, it was a radical departure from its C1 predecessor, showcasing iconic hidden headlights, a sleek fastback or roadster profile, and a sophisticated independent rear suspension – a first for the Corvette. By 1966, the C2 was in its stride, and the introduction of the legendary 427 cubic-inch Big Block V8 cemented its status as a true muscle car icon. These potent engines, combined with the Sting Ray's agile handling, made the '66 Corvette a formidable force on both the street and the track, solidifying its place in automotive lore. This stunning 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster exemplifies the model's enduring appeal, having undergone a meticulous body-off restoration. Under the hood lies a date-code correct 427 cubic-inch V8, featuring the desirable 3869942 casting number, a Winters aluminum intake, and a Holley 4780 800 cfm 4-barrel carburetor, all exhaling through period-correct side pipe dual exhaust. Power is expertly managed by a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, sending drive to a FA Suffix Code posi rearend with aggressive 3.70 gears. Beyond its formidable powertrain, this Corvette boasts power steering, 4-wheel disc brakes, and sits proudly on 15-inch knockoff wheels wrapped in classic Goldline Tires. The highly detailed undercarriage reflects the quality of the restoration, while the Code 900 Tuxedo Black exterior, complemented by a black convertible top and electric headlight motors, presents an undeniable presence. Inside, a vibrant red leather bucket seat interior provides a striking contrast, featuring a 3-spoke wood rim steering wheel, power windows, and an AM/FM radio, all contributing to an authentic and exhilarating driving experience. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored example of one of the most desirable Big Block Corvettes ever produced.
