1966 Chevrolet Corvette

1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible â?" L79 327/350, 4-Speed, Silver over Black Leather Why This Car Is Special The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray is widely regarded as the high-water mark of the C2 generation, and for good reason. The second-generation Corvette ran from 1963 through 1967, and by 1966 Chevrolet had worked out the early production kinks while still offering the full menu of performance options that made this body style famous. The hidden headlights, the sculpted rear haunches, the aggressive side vents â?" all of it was carried over from Bill Mitchell's original design without the compromises that would come with the C3 in 1968. This particular car is a convertible equipped with the L79 engine option, which is one of the more desirable powerplant choices from that era.
