The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette was an important year for the C2 generation because Chevrolet introduced the 427-cubic-inch big-block V8 to the Corvette lineup. Combined with the Sting Ray's distinctive hidden headlights, sculpted bodywork and available side exhaust, the 427 helped make the 1966 Corvette one of the best-known American performance cars of its era.

This M2 Machines Auto-Drivers release combines the Corvette 427 with Schwinn's Orange Krate, one of the best-known models from the Sting-Ray muscle-bike era. Schwinn introduced the Orange Krate in 1968 as part of its Krate series, using drag-racing influences and a distinctive orange color scheme. M2 carries that theme onto the Corvette with bright orange paint, Schwinn and Orange Krate graphics, contrasting white details and matching accents.

This is the Chase version of the release, with the factory packaging identifying production as just 400 chase pieces worldwide. Opening doors and hood, a detailed engine compartment, side pipes, chase-specific detailing and the included acrylic display case give this limited version additional collector appeal.
