DESCRIPTION
It\'s not every day you come across a midyear Corvette that brings this kind of verified firepower and ironclad pedigree to the table. Assembled on June 24, 1966, and originally delivered through Richard Chevrolet in Bellaire, Ohio, this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Coupe is an elite tier collector piece. Finished in a highly desirable factory correct Rally Red over a black interior, this specific C2 isn\'t just another beautifully restored classic; it is a meticulously documented testament to American automotive history bearing VIN 194376S124949.
Under the big block hood sits the legendary L72 427 cubic inch V8, putting down a factory rated 425 horsepower through a proper four speed manual transmission. In the world of high dollar Corvettes, claims mean nothing without proof. That is exactly why this engine\'s authenticity is firmly backed by a Classic Car Affirmation Service engine pad certification. The cylinder case has been independently verified to show the correct 3869942 casting number, a T0609IP assembly stamp, and the matching 6124949 VIN derivative. Further CCAS trim tag affirmation confirms its original Rally Red exterior and standard black interior configuration.
What truly separates this coupe from the rest of the market is its staggering wall of recent, high level judging hardware. In January 2024, it achieved Bloomington Gold Certification, swiftly followed by a grueling NCRS Performance Verification. The accolades continued in September 2025 when this Sting Ray secured a 98.7 point NCRS National Top Flight score in Las Vegas, culminating in the incredibly prestigious 2025 NCRS Duntov Mark of Excellence. This means the car didn\'t just look perfect on a show field; its mechanical operation and performance were rigorously tested and proven flawless.
Visually, the car hits every mark you want on a big block midyear, from the side mounted exhaust and turbine style knock off wheels to the beautifully detailed engine bay featuring the correct Chevy orange block and Turbo Jet air cleaner. The cockpit retains its authentic C2 character with deeply contoured bucket seats, a wood rimmed steering wheel, and a pristine center console. With a market awash in ordinary restored L72s, this heavily awarded, CCAS affirmed Duntov winner is an undisputed, turn key investment ready to anchor any serious collection.
