Car Spot: 66 Corvette

It set sales records for Chevy in 66. A Corvette is this week's spot.

Another great Bill Mitchell design I have a bucket list of ten cars I would buy when I win the Powerball. You might have thought since I love AMCs that maybe a 70 AMX would be first in line. I would make the list but number one would be a brand new Corvette ZR1. The second would be a C2 Corvette, like this week’s spot, a 66. Priced at $4,295, ($41,347.06 in 24 dollars) Chevrolet’s most…

Din shows up in the N-1 while everyone else is arguing and Luke is like, "I will fit in the tiny car seat, get me out of here while they are too distracted to notice"

luke would absolutely lie abt fitting in the tiny seat if it meant getting in the n-1, yes

Chevrolet Corvette C2 Coupe, 1964 & Chevrolet Corvette XP-819, 1964. The XP-819 was an experimental rear-engined prototype with a a reverse-rotation marine V8 mounted behind the rear axle driving the rear wheels via a modified Pontiac Tempest two-speed automatic transmission and transaxle. It was never seriously considered as a replacement for the C2. Alas the rear weight bias caused the car to handle erratically and the project was abandoned

The C2 Reinvents the Corvette  

Well into its eight generation, the Chevrolet Corvette has long been “America’s sports car” and a halo car for the bowtie brand for over 60 years. With all that success in the rearview mirror, it’s easy to forget how rocky the Corvette’s initial generation was or how pivotal the second-generation proved to be. The C1 Corvette was high on style, thanks to GM’s legendary designer Harley Earl, but it took a full two years and the advocacy of engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov to get the car the V8 it needed. Even with the boost in horsepower, the Corvette was more show than go. 

Duntov, however, was determined to change that with the next generation Corvette. The new car debuted in late 1962 as a nearly complete overhaul. The 1963 Corvette was reimagined as more modern and comfortable while also being a quicker and more formidable performance car. The C2 brought the Corvette into its own, setting the stage for decades of future success. Today, the second-generation Corvette, and the 1963 model especially, has graduated into iconic status, and yet there’s plenty about this legendary car that you might not know. Below we highlight some of the 1963 Corvette’s unique features and lesser-known bits of history.
