Vehicle Description
One of the Sting Rays everyone searches for is a 1967 Chevrolet
Corvette convertible with a numbers-matching big block L68 427
still under the hood. And of course, you need four-on-the-floor to
really get to enjoy it all. So when you can find one that is this
exceptionally well preserved/restored (even the clock works!), has
A/C comfort, and is also in a terrifically coordinating color
package, then you know this is the 'Vette of your dreams.
Ermine White is an iconic color for Chevy, but a rare one for the
'67 convertible - only around 1,420 ever finished in this crisp
white. Today, there is an exceptional gloss and luster on the
factory-correct color, which tells you it has seen careful
ownership and the right investments in maintaining a high-quality
C2. Complete and pristine chrome bumpers, and all the correct
badging only add to this car's award-worthy shine. And just by the
way the door close and the headlight panels fit flush, you know
there has been a true long-term investment in quality. On a car of
this caliber, of course all the great period-correct performance
options are still featured today - from the bold side pipe exhaust,
to the cool redline tires. And the element we love the most is the
big stinger hood. Not only is it a timeless sign of serious power
underneath, but also the cool red streak is a great match for the
tires and interior - making this Sting Ray striking with the top up
or down.
Open the door, and it feels like 1967 all over again. There's a sea
of red on the dash, carpeting and seats. And speaking of those
individual buckets, not only are they finished in the correct red
leather, but also they have headrests - both very rare and
desirable options. In total, the red presentation has a solid
feeling of investment that looks great against the white exterior
paint and really gives you pride of ownership. Just about the only
thing that breaks up this festival of scarlet is the wood rimmed
three-spoke steering wheel. The rest of the interior is
factory-correct, right down to the clock that's still ticking away.
And this one is truly your all-season friend. It has cold air
conditioning to let you keep the top down in the summer season; the
white folding roof looks great against the paint any time you need
to button up; and even the hardtop (unfinished) comes with the
sale. It's easy to settle into this sports car with comfortable
bucket seats, a center console, and a full set of gauges that love
to dance while you row through the gears and let that big motor
growl.
There's definitely something magical about a 427 in a Corvette. So
you know it's truly special having the original numbers-matching
L68 motor still living under the hood and looking fantastic. The
big block is dressed properly with Chevy Orange on the block and
valve covers. This one is correct right down to the details like
the decals and the Frigidaire compressor. Plus, there's a nice bit
of flash with the correct ignition shield and chrome air cleaner
with 427 decals. And best of all, we all know that underneath that
triangle topper lives the ultra-desirable triple set of dual Holley
carburetors. Not only does it look great, but also you'll love
hitting the road in this big block classic, because it's all about
control. The Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission allows you
to dial in the performance and roar of the side pipes on a moment's
notice; the fully-independent suspension holds the road better than
some modern muscle machines; and the four-wheel disc brakes provide
superior stopping power.
One of only 2,101 built with this L68, the rarity has been
cherished on this Sting Ray. That's why it comes with the right
paperwork, including owner's manual and NCRS shipping report. This
is the rare, high-quality vintage car that you'll love to drive. So
while it has had the right investments to take home awards at the
car show this weekend, they'll first have to get you off the
backroads long enough to park it on the event lawns. This Corvette
is the total package, and so it's looking for a true collector. Is
that you? Call now!!!
