The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette, known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," burst onto the scene in 1963, forever changing the landscape of American sports cars. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the direction of Bill Mitchell, its iconic "split-window" coupe (for 1963 only) and sleek convertible forms were a radical departure from the C1, drawing inspiration from Mitchell's Mako Shark concept car. The C2 brought independent rear suspension to the Corvette for the first time, dramatically improving handling and ride quality, solidifying its status as a true competitor to European rivals. Over its five-year production run, the C2 became synonymous with raw power and sophisticated design, a golden era for Chevrolet performance that saw the introduction of big-block engines and legendary options like the L88. This stunning 1966 Corvette Convertible epitomizes the pinnacle of C2 restomodding, a meticulous creation completed in September 2022 by Ken Sungela of Custom Restorations LLC. While retaining the unmistakable lines of the original Sting Ray, this build elevates every aspect with modern engineering. It sits on a state-of-the-art Art Morrison chassis, providing a foundation of unparalleled rigidity and handling prowess. Under the hood lies a potent LS3 engine, paired with a smooth automatic transmission, ensuring exhilarating performance and effortless drivability that far surpasses its original capabilities. With a mere 0 miles since its comprehensive restoration, this Corvette presents as a brand-new vehicle, a testament to the no-compromise approach taken during its construction. This is an opportunity to acquire a C2 Corvette that seamlessly marries its classic allure with contemporary supercar performance and reliability.
