Produced from only 1963 to 1967, the second generation “C2” Corvette is, thus far, the shortest-lived of the model’s eight generations. With a new, increasingly performance-focused third generation on the horizon, Chevrolet introduced an especially potent engine in 1966: the 427-cubic-inch L72 V8. With an 11:1 compression ratio, three two-barrel Holley carburetors, a solid-lifter camshaft, and enlarged valve heads, the motor was good for (a likely under-rated) 425 horsepower. With power delivered through a close-ratio Muncie four-speed manual, a Corvette so equipped blurred the line between sports and muscle cars and is a joy to drive today.
The magnificent 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray L72 427/ 425hp Convertible featured here is finished in distinctive Silver Pearl over Black interior with a matching removable hardtop. This incredible motorcar has had just two owners in the last 43 years and has been driven a mere 19, 591 miles from new. Upon completion of an award-winning restoration, this investment-grade Corvette was awarded the coveted NCRS Top Flight Award. This 1966 Corvette 427 convertible, a timeless classic that embodies the spirit of American motoring, represents an incredible investment opportunity. Whether displayed in a collection or driven on the open road, this superlative Corvette delivers an exhilarating experience that few others can match. Offered to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires and appreciates one of the most capable American muscle cars of the 1960s.
