Background: With a slightly redesigned exterior with fives fender
louvers, updated stinger hood for big block-optioned cars as well
new Tri-Power carburetion for 427ci V8s, and new rocker moldings,
many enthusiasts find the 1967 model year Corvette to be the
ultimate of any Corvette collection! The optional knock-off
aluminum wheels were modified to be a bolt on design with a center
cap to hide the lug nuts for added safety, along with the absence
of hubcaps in leau of rally wheels instead. Inside, the parking
park was moved to the center console between the seats, the dash
grab bar for passengers removed, along with other minor revisions.
It was meant to be a full redesign year, but the C3 wasnt quite
ready accordingly to Duntovs liking, so this year ended up being a
rather limited production run! Today, they are arguably the most
beautiful classic Corvette ever built and highly coveted for
American Sports Car collectors! 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
