(also known as the Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray) is the second
generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, produced by the Chevrolet
division of General Motors for the 1963 to 1967 model years.""The
1967 Corvette Sting Ray was the last Corvette of the second
generation, and five years of refinements made it the best of the
line. Although it was meant to be a redesign year, its intended
successor the C3 was found to have some undesirable aerodynamic
traits. Duntov demanded more time in the wind tunnel to devise
fixes before it went into production.Changes were again modest:
Five smaller front fender vents replaced the three larger ones, and
flat-finish rockers sans ribbing conferred a lower, less chunky
appearance. New was a single backup light, mounted above the
license plate. The previous models' wheel covers gave way to
slotted six-inch Rally wheels with chrome beauty rings and lug nuts
concealed behind chrome caps. Interior alterations were modest and
included revised upholstery, and the handbrake moved from beneath
the dash to between the seats. The convertible's optional hardtop
was offered with a black vinyl cover, which was a fad among all
cars at the time. The 427 was available with a 1282
ft/min (605 L/s) Holley triple two-barrel carburetor arrangement,
which the factory called Tri-power. The ultimate Corvette engine
for 1967 was coded L88, even wilder than the L89, and was as close
to a pure racing engine as Chevy had ever offered in regular
production. Besides the lightweight heads and bigger ports, it came
with an even hotter camshaft, stratospheric 12.5:1 compression, an
aluminum radiator, small-diameter flywheel, and a single huge
Holley four-barrel carburetor. Although the factory advertised L88
rating was 430
bhp at 4600 rpm, the true rating was said to be about 560
bhp at 6400 rpm. The very high compression ratio required
103-octane racing fuel, which was available only at select service
stations. Clearly this was not an engine for the casual motorist.
When the L88 was ordered, Chevy made several individual options
mandatory, including Positraction, the transistorized ignition,
heavy-duty suspension, and power brakes, as well as RPO C48, which
deleted the normal radio and heater to cut down on weight and
discourage the car's use on the street. As costly as it was
powerful at an additional $1,500 over the base $4,240.75 price the
L88 engine and required options were sold to a mere 20 buyers that
year. With potential buyers anticipating the car's overdue
redesign, sales for the Sting Ray's final year totaled 22,940, down
over 5,000 units from 1966 results. Meanwhile, Chevrolet readied
its third-generation Corvette for the 1968 model year."American
