1966 Chevrolet Corvette – today’s tempter

1966 Chevrolet Corvette – today's tempter

The C2 has a shape is impossible to ignore, mixing a certain menace into a surprisingly organic look. It remains dramatic, even today.

In a feature on the series we say: “If the first version of ‘America’s Own Sportscar’ felt constrained by corporate design restrictions and convention, no such impediments were allowed to exist when Version Two came along.

“The original Sting Ray was a low, wide open-topped projectile with a knife-edge belt-line and ‘pods’ above each wheel. The air-intake below the bumper and massive bonnet vents hinted that this car was intended to carry a very large and powerful engine.”

Under the paint is a 307 V8 engine with four-speed manual transmission.

Both the folding roof and hardtop are present.

Prestige Motor Gallery in Sydney is offering it at $109,990.
