The second generation of Chevrolet's Corvette, affectionately known as the C2 or "Sting Ray," arrived in 1963 as a radical departure from its predecessor. Penned by the legendary Zora Arkus-Duntov and Bill Mitchell, the C2 introduced a sleek, aerodynamic design with hidden headlamps and a distinctive "split-window" coupé in its first year. The 1966 model year, while losing the split window, refined the C2's aggressive styling and cemented its place as a quintessential American sports car. This was also the year the mighty 427 cubic-inch big-block engine debuted, offering enthusiasts a significant leap in power and performance, further solidifying the Corvette's reputation as a serious contender on both road and track. This stunning 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a testament to that era, powered by the sought-after 427/390 hp L36 big-block engine, mated to a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission for an authentic and engaging driving experience. Remarkably, this particular example boasts factory headrests, a desirable and less common option with only 1,033 produced in 1966. Having undergone a comprehensive restoration approximately 13 years ago, this Corvette presents in excellent condition, a testament to its careful stewardship, which includes a notable past as the personal vehicle of Bill Kay Jr. This C2 Corvette represents a superb opportunity to own a meticulously restored piece of American automotive history.
