1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stin Ray Convertible
The 1966 Corvette Sting Ray combined sleek design with spirited performance, securing its place as one of America’s most admired sports cars. This convertible is powered by Chevrolet’s 327-cubic-inch “Turbo-Fire” V8, an engine celebrated for its smooth balance of power and reliability. With up to 350 horsepower, the 327 delivered plenty of excitement while maintaining lighter weight and greater agility than the new big-block options. Styling updates for 1966 included a fresh egg-crate grille, ribbed rocker panel trim, and the return of Corvette script emblems on the hood. The Sting Ray name perfectly captured the car’s aggressive stance, sharp lines, and precise handling. Whether with the top down for a summer drive or on the open road, the 1966 Corvette embodied the complete sports car experience—performance, style, and unmistakable American character.
This particular car underwent a meticulous frame-off restoration that began in 1989 and was completed in 2024, just in time for the AACA Fall Festival in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where it achieved a perfect score and first-place honors. It is equipped with power steering, power brakes, Positraction differential, whitewall tires, tinted windshield, day/night mirror, and an AM/FM radio with power antenna. Today, the 1966 Sting Ray remains a favorite among enthusiasts and collectors, a timeless icon of American motoring.
