1966 Chevrolet Corvette

1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible â?" 327/350 L-79, 4-Speed, Silver over Black Why This Car Is Special The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray is widely regarded as the peak of the C2 generation, and for good reason. By 1966, Chevrolet had refined the second-generation Corvette to a point where the styling, engineering, and available powertrains all lined up in a way that hasn't been replicated since. The split rear window was gone, replaced by a cleaner single-pane design introduced in 1965, and the hidden headlights and tapered fastback roofline â?" or in this case, the open convertible body â?" gave the car a presence that held up against anything the Europeans were building at the time. This particular 1966 Corvette Sting Ray carries the L-79 option: the 327 cubic inch small block V8 rated at 350 horsepower.
