Vehicle Description
There are plenty of nice Sting Rays that are worth the money. But
then there are the rare few like this that you'll give parts of
your anatomy for just because you want to want the top awards the
moment you leave the showroom. This 1967 coupe is a
numbers-matching big-block with factory air and in its original
color scheme. Do we have your attention yet? Good, because there
even more mouth-watering details.
If you're a Corvette aficionado, then you already know that 1967
was the last year of the C2, and it's seen in most circles as the
best of the breed. The fit and finish is exactly what you want from
a Sting Ray of this caliber. The trim is bright and complete, which
is something you love to see because these final-year C2s had some
intricate details - everything from the thin stylized bumpers to
the chrome plated exhaust bezels. This is absolutely a show car
with excellent panel gaps and its original shade of Sunfire Yellow
now resprayed to give it the kind of gloss the factory never could.
This brightness is contrasted with the aggressively dark stinger
hood trimmed in black. And just for those who didn't already know
this means there's a big-block lurking underneath, there are the
correct 427 callouts on the bulge. This gorgeous Corvette was fully
restored 6-7 years ago and many NOS parts were used during the
restoration at a great cost to the restorer.
The interior is like a time machine back to 1967. It feels that
fresh because the bucket seats, door panels, carpeting, dash,
center console, and every other square inch inside this coupe
either has been preserved to new condition or fitted with new
components. It might be a black interior, but there are plenty of
features to keep it nice and inviting. For example, when you slip
inside, you're greeted to the warm feeling only a wood steering
wheel can provide. Plus, the chrome components around the dials,
shifter and on the dash really brighten up the attitude. It all
feels factory-correct from the AM/FM radio to power windows to the
big center clock that's still ticking away. One upgrade that you
won't see, but definitely feel, is the factory air conditioning
converted to R-134a for easier servicing.
There's definitely something magical about a 427 in a Corvette.
That's what legends are all about. This one is the numbers-matching
L36, and it presents perfectly in the engine bay with the bold
Chevy orange correctly on the block and valve covers. In fact, this
one looks especially nice with the correct chrome air cleaner and
distributor cover, and you can barely tell the welcomed A/C upgrade
is under the hood. This motor is a remarkably docile beast when
you're tooling around town, but snarls and roars through the dual
exhaust when you're gunning it. And that's exactly how to look at
this one. It's a great all-around performance machine with
four-wheel disc brakes backed up by modern Hankook tires. But on
the other hand, you can also enjoy taking it easy with features
such as the Powerglide automatic transmission and power
steering.
You're going to love going trough the owner's manual and factory
tank sticker looking at all the components that this Corvette was
built with and still has today. You know how special this
numbers-matching big-block Sting Ray is and soon everyone else
will, too. Call today!!!
