9. 1966-67 Corvette Stingray
The Corvette Stingray didn’t change much in appearance during its life on the market. They abandoned the split window set up for 1964, and in 1965 four-wheel disc brakes became standard. However, in 1966, for the first time, big block power was available for performance-craving Corvette fans.
And that is why the ’66/67 Corvette is on this list as one of the most important years in the long history of the model. The introduction of the big block engine first in the form of the 396 and then as the 427 V8 unit, turned the Corvette into a powerful monster with 390 to 435 HP on tap. And if you choose the famed L-88 option, you could get one of the fastest cars in the late ‘60s.
The 66-67 Stingray was a true muscle beast with a conservatively rated 435 HP engine under the bulged hood. All in all, 1967 was the best year for the C2 Corvette. And not only because of the availability of fantastic big-block engines but also because of subtitle design improvements.
