The Corvette is an American icon and can be said to be one of the most famous sports cars ever created. Introduced to the world in 1953 with a fiberglass body and mechanicals similar to the rest of the Chevrolet line; a straight six cylinder overhead valve engine with triple side draft carburetors. It was a sleek two seater unlike anyone had experienced before for a production car. It was an instant hit and after the C1 the Corvette was continuously improved with the addition of a variety of V8 engines, 4 speed transmissions, and even more sleeker body designs, and today the Corvette is even more popular than ever. Arguably the greatest iteration of the Corvette was introduced in 1963 Corvette and dubbed the Stingray, and is certainly one of the most sought after versions of the legendary American sports cars by collectors today. in 1965 the powerful “big block” 396 cubic inch engine was introduced for the Corvette and in 1966 and 1967 the infamous 427 cubic inch V8 was added to the option list. Today having a real “Big Block” 427 Stingray is the ultimate.
