The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette, known internally as the C2 and affectionately as the "Sting Ray," burst onto the scene in 1963, a radical departure from its C1 predecessor. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of Bill Mitchell, its iconic, sculpted lines and hidden headlamps immediately cemented its place in automotive history. The C2 brought independent rear suspension, a first for the Corvette, significantly improving handling and ride quality, and throughout its brief but impactful five-year production run, it offered a range of potent small-block and big-block V8 engines that defined American muscle. The 1966 model year saw the introduction of the legendary 427 cubic inch big-block engine, further cementing the Corvette's reputation as a performance powerhouse, while subtle refinements kept its styling fresh. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible represents the pinnacle of modern restomodding, a meticulous fusion of classic aesthetics and contemporary performance. Completed in September 2022 by Ken Sungela of Custom Restorations LLC, this build goes far beyond a simple engine swap. It rides on a state-of-the-art Art Morrison chassis, providing a vastly superior foundation for handling and rigidity compared to the original frame. With just 1,111 miles since its comprehensive transformation, this Corvette is essentially a new car, embodying a no-compromise approach that utilized only premium components throughout its professional construction. This is an opportunity to acquire a C2 Corvette that offers both the soul of a classic and the driving dynamics of a modern sports car.
