Many Vette enthusiasts regard the C2 as Chevrolets purest Corvette design. And thats very easy to understand given this classics small dimensions purpose-built form and athletic demeanor. Of course those qualities are best viewed through a beautiful restoration and fortunately the guys who reworked this Sting Ray did a fantastic job. Since the previous owners goal was to have a classic thats both striking and functional he made sure the cars no-hit body was clean laser-straight and much nicer than any factory-correct original. Once that high level of fit and finish was attained a buttery layer of correct Laguna Blue basecoat available only for the 1966 model year was sealed in glossy clear. And the rest as they say is six-figure show-stopping history!

Thanks to a renewed dedication to motorsports and heavy influence from the original Mako Shark concept car the second generation Corvette sports a very athletic appearance. At the front of this convertible a low-slung clip tucks a stainless-trimmed grille behind thin razor blade bumpers and bright bullet-style parking lamps. Above that grille hidden headlights highlight a familiar cross-flag emblem while a standard small block hood displays a mandatory Corvette STING RAY script.

And the cars sloped decklid centers a cross-flag-branded fuel cap above a bright Sting Ray emblem deluxe tail lamps two more razor blade bumpers and traditional stainless exhaust tips.

Tilt this Corvettes fiberglass hood and youll find an original 327 cubic inch L79 V8 which hangs a familiar 3858174 casting number behind a correct HT suffix stamp and matching partial VIN. Introduced as a formidable companion for street prowling Sting Rays this high performance small block twists stout 10 to 1 compression into 350 horsepower. At the top of the spry mill a polished air cleaner funnels wind in to a big Holley carburetor thats threaded onto fresh stainless fuel lines. Below that juice box a Winters aluminum intake perfectly complements finned Corvette valve covers. At the back of that intake chrome-cased ignition shoots spark past correct exhaust manifolds via stainless-sleeved wires. And at the front of those manifolds a Harrison-branded radiator circulates water through pliable GM hoses and authentic tower clamps. Whoever performed the restoration on this Corvette did an excellent job of creating an attractive reliable engine bay thats every bit as detailed as the rest of the
