1966 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe stands as one of the most coveted expressions of Chevrolet’s legendary C2 Sting Ray era—a car many enthusiasts consider among the most beautiful Corvettes ever built. Finished in rich Code 988 Milano Maroon over a classic black vinyl interior, this fastback coupe wears its heritage with genuine authority. Beneath that sculpted fiberglass hood lives the celebrated 327/350HP L79 small-block, widely regarded as one of the finest small-blocks Chevrolet ever produced, and it appears to be numbers-matching to the car. Pair that with a snappy 4-speed manual, throaty side pipe exhaust, and a set of iconic knock-off wheels, and you have a genuine driver’s Corvette that delivers the thrill of vintage motoring with every turn of the key. For the discerning collector who values authenticity, provenance, and the timeless appeal of the C2, this Sting Ray is ready to reward you.
