Provenance:
Finished in its factory Nassau Blue with a White Vinyl interior, this largely original 1966 Corvette represents the essence of the C2 era—an era widely considered the turning point in Corvette design, engineering, and performance. Known as the “Sting Ray,” the second-generation Corvette debuted in 1963 with dramatic styling, a lighter chassis, independent rear suspension, and a far more refined driving experience than any Corvette before it. By 1966, Chevrolet had perfected the formula, delivering a balance of power, handling, and sophistication that helped cement the Corvette as America’s sports car.
This particular example stands out not only for its preservation but for its extraordinary continuity of ownership—held by the same caretaker for an impressive 52 years. Rather than undergoing a modern restoration, it has been left virtually untouched, allowing its original character and honest patina to remain intact. Beneath the hood lies its numbers-matching 327 V8, a cornerstone of mid-60s Corvette performance, paired to the equally original 3-speed manual gearbox. With only 540 Corvettes optioned with this base 3-speed transmission in 1966, this configuration is a genuine rarity and adds to the car’s authenticity and collector appeal.
Survivor-level C2s with long-term ownership histories are becoming increasingly scarce, and examples like this offer a direct connection to the golden age of Chevrolet engineering. MOTORVAULT is proud to present this time-capsule 1966 Corvette, an uncommon opportunity for enthusiasts who value originality, provenance, and the unmistakable soul of a true C2 Sting Ray.
