Vehicle Description
1967 RALLY RED L71 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE.Very rare award-winning
Rally Red w/Red interior 427/435hp big block!Rally Red w/Red
interior 427/435hp 4-speed manual transmission.For the chosen few
that had the wherewithal to buy a new 1967 Corvette back in the day
it's doubtful most really knew the significance of their purchase.
This was to be the final year of production for the second
generation or "mid-years" as the '63-'67 models were known. And as
was often the case the last of the line turned out to be the best!
But truth be told the 1967 Corvette as we know it wasn't supposed
to exist in the first place!Anticipation was high for the arrival
of the new third-generation Corvette Stingray aka the "Shark". This
new Corvette was originally due to be released as a 1967 model but
it wasn't quite ready for prime time. So the powers at GM decided
that the mid-year bodied Corvette would continue for one more year.
And because everyone was waiting for the new girl to arrive many
1967's languished in Chevrolet showrooms throughout the Country
unsold. Who'd have thought!! The extra year enabled the boys at GM
time to refine the C2 just enough to make what is considered the
best mid-year if not the best of the first three-generation
Corvettes ever built! Hindsight is indeed 20/20.This beautiful
matching numbers 1967 Rally Red L71 Corvette Convertible came of
the St. Louis assembly line on March 29th of '67 and was sold new
out of Prout Chevrolet in Elyria OH. It's been frame off restored
to a very high standard in its correct Rally Red with Red interior.
And nicely documented with the original Tank Sticker and an
N.C.R.S. Shipping Data Report.This '67 is indeed a rare example
being one of only a handfull of Rally Red w/Red interior L71
Convertibles ever built. And not only is it rare but it's also
achieved the highest honors within the Corvette hobby such as the
Duntov Award and Triple Crown Award having first won multiple
N.C.R.S. Top Flights Bloomington Gold and Chevy Vette Fest Gold
Spinner (no easy feat!).It's also loaded with great options
including; L71 427/435hp engine M21 close ratio manual transmission
4.11 Posi rear end AM/FM radio N14 dual side exhaust system J50
power brakes power windows tinted glass F41 suspension Rally wheels
w/Red line tires. Corvette collectors and aficionados; this is the
essence of Corvette beauty and performance! It's when Chevrolet got
everything just right! Visit Corvette Mike online at
