This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible comes with a NCRS Origin Certificate to show that it was built in St. Louis with an A.O.

We can tell you that the 427 under the hood is very strong and delivers excellent overall performance.

It also appears the factory interior has been replaced with a reproduction black vinyl. We have extensive service receipts on file, showing all that has been done to this 'Vette.
In terms of its present condition, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Roadster shows average levels of wear/tear for a typical driver. The exterior body has several blemishes that show through the recent respray- the next owner would likely want to address these issues to bring this one back to true show quality. Likewise, the engine compartment and the interior are pretty clean with a great factory look. As we previously stated though, the overall performance is excellent in this pure driver.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
