With the Jaguar E-Type and Ferrari 250 garnering the bulk of
attention from the motoring press, Chevrolet responded with a
complete overhaul of the Corvette that was dubbed the Sting Ray.
Produced from 1963 to 1967 as both a roadster and coupe, it was
smaller, more powerful, and wore a futuristic fiberglass body
penned by Larry Shinoda. To improve road holding and ride quality,
Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov ordered development of an all-new
ladder-frame chassis with an independent rear suspension that
allowed it to compete with the best sports cars from Europe. The
end for the C2 arrived in 1967, but the successful second
generation would leave on a high note with a freshened styling that
made it a sleeker package overall. Five slots appeared in the
fenders and Big Block cars bore a contrasting colour stinger on the
hood, hitting of the potency that lay underneath. As the last
representative of a vaunted line, the final year of the C2 Corvette
is a blue chip collectible that is certain to continue appreciating
in value.
