The second generation of the Corvette was introduced in 1963 and this new version was called Sting Ray due to its design. It received new body styling, and independent rear suspension. It was also offered in a coup é s for the first time (the convertible was still available). The vehicle has a similar appearance to the Jaguar E-type, only with a longer, sloping cabin and hideaway headlights (which would be a feature on almost all later Corvette models). The 1963 coup é s had a split rear window, which was dropped the next model year. For this reason, '63 'split-window coup é s' have become some of the more sought-after models. In 1965, four-wheel disc brakes were introduced and a 396 big-block was offered, as well as side exhaust pipes. In 1966, the fuel-injection option was dropped (the 396 offered more power at a lower price [Which is somewhat ironic as the 396 was dropped too. ] ), and a 427 big-block was offered; all big-block models of this year had a bulge in the middle of the hood. The 1967 big-block models had a hood scoop that replaced the bulge, and three two-barrel carburettors were offered on the 427;
