Vehicle Description
You just can't go wrong with side-pipes.
Think about it. Of the hobby's many truisms, this statement is
probably one of the most accurate. Corvettes, Cobras, Vipers,
T-Buckets... Crazy candied builds from the 1970s. ALL those
classics are highly desirable and undeniably cool. That said,
side-pipes aren't the only reason this sweet Sting Ray should grace
your garage. For starters, it's one of the most desirable Corvettes
ever made. It's an exceptionally fun car thanks to acute, quality
restoration. And best of all, it backs 525 horsepower worth of
Chevrolet Performance LS376 crate engine with a tough Legend
5-speed!
LITTLE RED CORVETTE
No disrespect to Prince, but is there such a thing as a Corvette
that's too fast? We don't think so, and, apparently, neither did
the builder of this awesome C2! Professionally installed by the
folks at Detroit Speed, the car's tough Chevrolet Performance LS376
crate engine twists respectable 10.7 to 1 compression into 525
horsepower and 486 lb./ft. of curve-carving torque. At the front of
the mill, a remote filter element feeds a polished air tube, which
funnels wind in to a proven GM throttle body that fronts a
composite GM intake. That air meets spark in rectangular-port
L92-style heads, which ride under familiar Corvette fuel rail
covers. A nodular crank, powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic
pistons compress that volatile union. A racing-inspired ASA cam
maximizes intake efficiency through better breathing. Speaking of
breathing, that smooth valvetrain funnels spent gases through
coated Hooker block huggers. There's a lightweight DeWitts radiator
that's paired with dual electric puller fans. And a proven Optima
gel cell battery provides the spark.
UPGRADED WHERE IT COUNTS
When you have an undercarriage that's as clean as the bottom of
this Corvette, it makes sense to skip a full restoration and spend
your money where it counts. That counting begins with five, as in
the five forward gears in the hydraulically-kicked Legend 5-speed
that was installed by Detroit Speed. Next up is four, as in 4-wheel
disc brakes. Then there's two, as in true-dual exhaust that rumbles
through chambered side-pipes. Turns come courtesy of lucid power
steering, and everything rolls on tasteful turbines and 15-inch
red-stripe Cokers.
DISTINCTLY 1966
There's a lot to like about a 1966 Corvette, and definitely a lot
to like about this 1966 Corvette resto-mod! A quality body-on
restoration dressed the car's fiberglass well, with blemish-free
surfaces reflecting a glassy coat of vivid pigment. That unique
hood is exclusive to 1966 big block cars and, in our opinion, is
just as cool as Chevrolet's much-lauded Stinger. Dual mirrors
reflect dark-tint glass. Dual tail lamps add detail and
practicality. And all this Chevy's ornamentation is fresh, accurate
and free of significant weathering.
TASTEFUL AND TIMELESS
Most enthusiasts buy sports cars for the thrill of driving, not the
thrill of napping in an overly plush interior that's made of memory
foam and 'Old World craftsmanship'. That's where the Corvette has
ALWAYS excelled! Between this Sting Ray's doors, you'll find
standard Black vinyl that's simple, purposeful and ready for long
rides. In front of the driver, a factory dash hangs optimized
Classic Instruments telemetry next to controls for modern air
conditioning. Fade-free carpet joins monochromatic door panels to
maintain the car's serious ambiance. And the driver feels the road
through a tall Hurst shifter and a stylish, cross-flag-branded
steering wheel.
If you're a fun-loving enthusiast who's looking for a great classic
that can be your anything and everything, welcome to Team Corvette!
As a coveted first-generation Sting Ray, this Chevy will never go
out of style. Featuring a sorted, professional restoration, the car
will be a pleasure to own. And, considering its impressive
LS3/5-speed drivetrain, this Chevy is just modern enough to be a
blast to drive. Call, click or visit www.RKMotors.com for more
