Manufactured years 1966

In 1966 the coveted 427-cu-in big-block V-8 was introduced. Available in either (L36) 390 or (L72) 425 horsepower. Sporting a fully-independent suspension and a chassis blueprint benefiting from years of racing experience from GM engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov, and with designer Bill Mitchell’s all-new fastback coupe body (convertibles were available) reminiscent of the stingray fish, the C2 set the standard in Corvette engineering for many years to come.
