The Chevrolet Corvette (C2) (C2 for Second Generation), also known as the Corvette Sting Ray, is a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1963 to 1967 model years. For the 1966 Corvette, the big-block V-8 came in two forms: 390 bhp on 10.25:1 compression, and 425 bhp via 11:1 compression, larger intake valves, a bigger Holley four-barrel carburetor on an aluminum manifold, mechanical lifters, and four- instead of two-hole main bearing caps. Though it had no more horsepower than the previous high-compression 396, the 427 in³ (7 L), 430 hp (321 kW V8 packed a lot more torque - 460 pound/feet vs. 415. Of course, engine outputs were sometimes deliberately understated in the Sixties. Here, 420 and 450 bhp would be closer to the truth. Of course, all power ratings in the sixties were also done in SAE Gross Horsepower, which is measured based on an engine without accessories or air filter or restrictive stock exhaust manifold, invariably giving a significantly higher rating than the engine actually produces when installed in the automobile. SAE Net Horsepower is measured with all accessories, air filters and factory exhaust system in place; this is the standard that all US automobile engines have been rated at since 1972. With big-block V-8s being the order of the day, there was less demand for the 327, so small-block offerings were cut from five to two for 1966, and only the basic 300- and 350-bhp versions were retained. Both required premium fuel on compression ratios well over 10.0:1, and they didn't have the rocket-like thrust of the 427s, but their performance was impressive all the same. As before, both could be teamed with the Powerglide automatic, the standard three-speed manual, or either four-speed option. The 1966 model's frontal appearance was mildly altered with an eggcrate grille insert to replace the previous horizontal bars, and the coupe lost its roof-mounted extractor vents, which had proven inefficient. Corvettes also received an emblem in the corner of the hood for 1966. Head rests were a new option, one of the rarest options was the Red/Red Automatic option with power windows and air conditioning from factory which records show production numbered only 7 convertibles and 33 coupes. This relative lack of change reflected plans to bring out an all-new Corvette for 1967. It certainly did not reflect a fall-off in the car's popularity, however. In fact, 1966 would prove another record-busting year, with volume rising to 27,720 units, up some 4200 over 1965's sales.

The Corvette (C2) ran between model years 1963-67. Designed by Bill Mitchell and based on the Corvette Super Sport racer, the C2 became known as the Stingray. Available as a Roadster and for the first time a Corvette Coupe.
Introduced in 1963 the C2 (2nd Gen) Corvette brought a new not only had a new design, but also newfound handling prowess. and was lighter than the 1st Generation models so acceleration improved despite unchanged horsepower. In its first year production was divided almost evenly between the convertible and the new coupe - 10,919 and 10,594, respectively - and more than half the convertibles were ordered with the optional lift-off hardtop, though the numbers of the Coupe variant were to fall behind the Roadster in later years. And it was not until 1969 when the Coupe, then with a removable T top outsold the Roadster. All 1963 cars had 327cid engines, which made 250 hp (186 kW) standard, with optional variants that made 300 hp (224 kW), 340 hp (254 kW) and 360 hp (268 kW). The most powerful engine was the Rochester fuel injected 327cid V8, which made 360 hp (272 kW)
The suspension was refined for 1964 along with some cosmetic changes including the Coupes backbone window and the two simulated air intakes were eliminated from the hood, though their indentations remained. Also, the decorative air-exhaust vent on the coupe's rear pillar was made functional, but only on the left side. Drivetrains remained as before apart from the high performance engines which gained some noteable improvements.
Styling was cleaned up for the 1965 model year along with an all-new braking system and larger powerplants. 1965 styling alterations were subtle, confined to a smoothed-out hood now devoid of scoop indentations, a trio of working vertical exhaust vents in the front fenders that replaced the previous nonfunctional horizontal "speedlines," restyled wheel covers and rocker-panel moldings, The Sing Ray y became ferocious with the mid-year debut of a big-block V-8, the 425 hp, 396cu in Big Block engine. 1965 also added another 350HP small block engine (Option L79)
For the 1966 Corvette, the big-block V-8 came in two forms of 390 and 425bhp Though it had no more horsepower than the previous high-compression 396, the 427 in³ (7 L), 430 hp packed a lot more torque The 1966 model's frontal appearance was mildly altered with an eggcrate grille insert to replace the previous horizontal bars, and the coupe lost its roof-mounted extractor vents, which had proven inefficient. Corvettes also received an emblem in the corner of the hood for 1966.
The 1967 model year was the last for the C2, the C3 had been schedualed for 1967 but was delayed with teething troubles. Changes were again modest: Five smaller front fender vents replaced the three larger ones, and flat-finish rockers sans ribbing conferred a lower, less chunky appearance., a single reversing light over the number plate and new wheel covers. . Interior alterations were modest and included revised upholstery, and the handbrake moved from beneath the dash to between the seats. The ultimate Corvette engine for 1967 was coded L88, even wilder than the L89, and was as close to a pure racing engine as Chevy had ever offered in regular production

Purchased new by Frank Hayashi of Wisconsin on 31/12/1965 from Hult Chevrolet in Madison, Wisconsin, this Stingray remained in the same ownership until 2011when this car was brought to the UK. In 2010 the car enjoyed an all-expenses-spared restoration to NCRS standards considered to be one of the best examples of a Stingray in existence, chassis 103663 was offered for auction sale at the show by auction house Coys, selling for a hammer price of £60,040 (2016)
