1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Here is a genuine mid-year icon presented in one of the most coveted years of the entire C2 run — a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible finished in elegant Trophy Blue Metallic over a black interior. This is the Sting Ray at the height of its refinement, blending unmistakable sculpted styling with eager small-block performance and the pure joy of open-top motoring. Showing 59,139 miles, this beautifully presented example captures everything collectors cherish about the mid-year Corvette. Beneath that hood lives a period-correct 327 cubic-inch V8, delivering the balanced, responsive character that made the small-block Corvette legendary. As the final year before the big-block-dominated era fully took hold, the 1966 model occupies a special place in Corvette history. Drop the black soft top, settle into the driver-focused cockpit, and imagine adding this timeless American sports car to your own collection.
