The Chevrolet Corvette (second generation-C2) is a sports car produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1963 through 1967 model years. Virtually all-new, the Sting Ray stunned the automotive world in 1963, blending world-class handling with unmistakable all-American style and performance. Bill Mitchell revisited the Super Sport racer and would subsequently reinvent the Corvette with radical new styling, high performance, and a first-ever coupe. Like the very first Corvette, it was a "dream car" come true but more sophisticated than any previous Corvette, blending world-class handling with all-American style and performance. It would become an instant classic, setting sales records and remains one of the most coveted of collectors' cars. With a winning attitude on the track that would benefit from each successive engineering innovation, the car's competitive spirit would culminate with one of the best Corvette racers ever, the Grand Sport. The C2 would have a great five-year run that many regard as the high point of Corvette history
