It is little wonder that when Chevrolet 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 was 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.

This 1966 Sting Ray Coupe is beautifully presented in “Marina Blue” (Nassau, Rally and Trophy Blue were the official 1966 Corvette color names for blue) with a similarly-toned 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. For the second year, all Corvettes had four-wheel disc brakes. Among the other features on this example are side exhaust pipes, AM/FM radio, spinner factory hubcaps and tastefully sized whitewall tires.
