Overview of 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible For Sale by Owner

Few Corvettes command attention quite like a mid-year C2 Sting Ray, and this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible presents an especially intriguing blend of factory styling, long-term ownership, and high-performance upgrades. Showing approximately 39,045 miles, this iconic American sports car is finished in timeless Tuxedo Black over a Saddle vinyl interior, creating one of the most desirable color combinations available during the era. Adding to its appeal, the current owner reports having owned the car since 1971, representing more than five decades of stewardship. The current owner also reports that the car was repainted in its factory-correct Tuxedo Black finish in 1985, helping preserve its classic appearance. While originally produced during the golden age of big-block Corvettes, the current owner further reports that the car now houses a legendary L88-spec 427ci V8 engine swap, elevating its performance pedigree significantly. Additional highlights include a body-colored removable hardtop, factory teak wood steering wheel, Mako-inspired six-tail-light conversion, and included accessories such as a car cover, roof stand, original hardtop, and original convertible top.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible is finished in factory-correct Tuxedo Black, a color the current owner reports was reapplied during a repaint completed in 1985. The sleek C2 body design remains one of the most recognizable silhouettes in automotive history, complemented by rear fender flares, knock-off style hubcaps, Firehawk radial tires, and rear-exit exhaust outlets. A tinted windshield adds comfort while maintaining the car’s classic appearance. The distinctive Mako six-tail-light conversion provides a unique visual signature inspired by the Mako Shark concept cars that heavily influenced Corvette styling during the 1960s. Buyers will also appreciate the included body-colored removable hardtop, original convertible top, roof stand, and car cover. The interior of this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible features a beautifully reupholstered Saddle vinyl cabin that pairs elegantly with the black exterior finish. A factory teak wood steering wheel serves as a centerpiece, adding warmth and period-correct luxury to the driver-focused cockpit. The straightforward dashboard layout, classic instrumentation, and low-slung seating position remind occupants of the Corvette’s pure sports car roots. The reupholstered interior presents an inviting environment for cruising, while preserving the authentic character expected from a highly collectible mid-year Sting Ray.

Engine

Under the hood sits a 427ci L88 V8 engine, a powerplant configuration the current owner reports was installed as a swap. The L88 remains one of the most legendary Corvette engines ever associated with the C2 generation, known for its race-bred design and formidable performance potential. Fuel is supplied through a 4-barrel carburetor, while a 4-speed manual transmission delivers driver engagement and direct control over the powerband. An aftermarket fuel tank supports the upgraded drivetrain, and power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels in traditional Corvette fashion. Combined with the lightweight C2 chassis and big-block power, this Sting Ray offers the raw, visceral driving experience that helped cement the Corvette’s place among America’s greatest performance cars.
