The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray C2 is widely regarded as a
highpoint of mid-year Corvette styling and performance, refining
the iconic 1963-65 design with subtler, more mature details. This
convertible, Blue Metallic 1966 Corvette C2, is a stunning
embodiment of this classic model that is considered by car
enthusiasts to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made. As a
'66 model, it represents a pinnacle in the muscle car era and is
powered by a L-79 327 cubic-inch V8 engine combined with a manual
four-speed transmission. Sporting knock-off style wheels and side
exhaust outlets, this '66 Corvette presents a picture perfect and
well-preserved image of the classic design.
Exterior: An eye-popping appearance is produced on this gorgeous
car by the Trophy Blue Metallic paint that has been buffed and
polished to a stunning mirror finish. Chrome bumpers and side
exhaust outlets maintain the classic Corvette styling while the
side pipes augment the aggressive American Muscle look and engine
rumble. The racing vibe of the iconic Corvette Stingray is
heightened by the knock-off wheels which were discontinued after
this year.
Interior: The gleaming Trophy Blue Metallic exterior is perfectly
complimented by an interior dressed in silver, creating a
distinguished presentation. The 1966 Corvette features improved,
more comfortable, pleated, vinyl, bucket seats. The interior was
designed to be functional, with easy to reach controls, creating a
"cockpit" feel, highlighting a 160-mph speedometer, and a 6,000-rpm
tachometer, maintaining its racing persona. The stylish interior
projects a beautiful, well-preserved overall appearance.
Drivetrain & Performance: In keeping with the Corvette muscle car
tradition, this 1966 Stingray is powered by an L-79 327 V8 engine
that delivers plenty of punch without the brutal acceleration of
the Big Block models. The engine combined with the 4-speed manual
transmission makes this Corvette Stingray a formidable performer
that dominated the roads and track solidifying its legendary
status. This model is equipped with Disc brakes and Power steering
providing modern stopping and driving confidence.
Top Configuration: This car is outfitted with a removable hard top
that is in excellent condition and is easily removed. This
enclosure alters the convertible into a more versatile,
weatherproof, more secure coupe, perfect for cooler weather.
Summary: This 1966 Corvette Stingray C2 is a perfect representation
of this iconic design with aerodynamic curves, a low profile, and
aggressive styling that looked futuristic and exotic. The Trophy
Blue Metallic gleaming paint, L-79 327 engine, four-speed
transmission, knock-off wheels, and side exhaust outlet make this
Corvette a inspiring blend of beauty and muscle car power
associated with this legendary model.
