Production hit 21513 – split quite evenly between the new “roadster” and stunning coupe design from Larry Shinoda under the direction of Bill Mitchell with the now infamous (and valuable) split rear window design. Subsequent model year Vettes added the new knock off wheels (1964) the 396 “big block” V8 (1965)and then in 1966 the 427 430 HP L-88 model ultimately one of the most collectible Corvettes ever.The C2 series ended in 1967 with the addition of 5 slot fender vents and the famous ’67 only hood scoop and contrasting color “stinger” stripe on the big block cars. In all the cleaned up '67 model was a fitting end to theC2 series which can lay claim to being the most loved Corvettes of all.1966 Corvette Condensed Historical Facts*1966 Corvette Historical Facts(condensed version)A.1966 Corvettes were produced from September 1965 through July 1966 with a total production of 27720 of which only 9958 were coupes.B.The 427 cubic-inch engine were introduced in the 1966 model.
