Vehicle Description

The C2 Generation Corvette, immortalized as the "Sting Ray," stands as one of the most significant triumphs in American automotive design. With its wind-tunnel-tuned curves and independent rear suspension, it was the moment the Corvette matured from a fiberglass roadster into a genuine world-class sports car. The 1966 model year is particularly revered for refining this formula, offering a balance of aggression and elegance that few cars have matched since. This particular example takes that iconic silhouette and injects it with a "day two" attitude, blending the timeless lines of the mid-60s with a powertrain selected for modern driveability and visceral acoustic feedback. The cocktail gets more potent when you examine the mechanical specification. While it retains the spirit of the original small block, the engine bay is now home to a 350-cubic-inch crate V-8, breathing deeply through a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a Weiand intake manifold. The soundtrack is uncorked via McJacks shorty headers feeding into unmistakable side pipes—a setup that provides the visual and auditory drama that defines the muscle car era. Crucially, the driving experience has been modernized for highway touring; the V-8 is backed by a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission, offering an overdrive gear that transforms this Corvette from a quarter-mile sprinter into a comfortable long-distance cruiser. Cooling is managed by a BeCool aluminum radiator, while handling and stopping are refined by power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. The example offered here is finished in brilliant Laguna Blue, a hue that perfectly accentuates the Sting Ray’s complex surfacing. The exterior aggression is dialed up with the addition of a 1967-style Big Block hood, highlighted by a sharp black "stinger" stripe that draws the eye from the nose to the cowl. Paint is considered in excellent condition with brilliant luster. On a scale to ten, we rate this paint as a solid 9. This Sting Ray rides on 15-inch American Racing aluminum wheels wrapped in BFG Radial T/A rubber, giving it a low, purposeful stance. The look is capped by a like-new white canvas convertible top that provides a crisp contrast to the bodywork. Inside, the cabin remains true to its roots with a Code 418 Black vinyl interior. The bucket seats, door panels, and dash are clean and well-preserved, maintaining the focused, cockpit-style layout the C2 is famous for. A center console anchors the space, and while the shifter may visually suggest a manual lineage, it commands the automatic transmission with ease. Rounded out by a classic AM/FM radio, this Corvette offers the best of both worlds: the undeniable curb appeal of a side-pipe Sting Ray with the effortless usability of a sorted, automatic cruiser.
