It is no wonder that when Chevrolet recently unveiled the 2014 Corvette, they chose to bring back the Sting Ray name. The Corvette Sting Ray of the 1960s had something of a dual personality. With its adroit handling, it was easy to drive fast and was manageable for everyday use, in keeping with the MG-beater it had once intended to be. Yet, as the available V-8s grew ever larger and the options list grew ever hotter, with more and more go-fast goodies available, the Corvette also began to take on an element of musclecar. By the mid-1960s, there were few American production cars that could take on the Bow Tie’s best on road or track, establishing a proud heritage of streetable high-performance that the Corvette carries forward proudly to this day.

Having been fully restored, this 1966 Sting Ray Coupe is beautifully presented in Nassau Blue with complementary black interior. This particular car is powered by the ever-reliable 327-cid, 300-hp V-8 engine that is mated to a desirable four-speed transmission. All 1966 For the second year, all Corvettes had four-wheel disc brakes. Among the other features are side exhaust pipes, AM/FM radio with power antenna, wood steering wheel, reproduction knock-off factory-style alloy wheels and power steering.
