In 1966, Chevy gave the muscle car of muscle cars another dose of power with its 427 ci (7 L) big block V8. Although Chevy claimed the engine only had 425 horses under the hood, most people would put it closer to 450 hp or insist the horses under the hood were on steroids. Either way, you get the picture – lots and lots of power with torque rated at 465 lbs./ft at 4000 RPM.

There wasn’t much change to the rest of this model of the Corvette Sting Ray. It did come with electric windows, a sight change in the grill and it was also the first time the roadster also received an emblem in the corner of the hood. But, again, the thing that stands out with the ’66 Corvette Sting Ray was the added power to a car that was already a muscle monster.
