Vehicle Description
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 for 1967 were 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; a one-year only
item. 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. 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. That's what makes
a nice '67 a rare find!
This example is a beautifully restored car in prime condition for
both weekend fun and any event you would want to go to. The
exterior is painted Marina Blue with a white stinger stripe on the
hood. Being a coupe rather than a convertible helps this Corvette
retain the classic Sting Ray design enthusiasts have become
accustomed to. A set of gorgeous American Racing wheels wrapped in
thick BF Goodrich rubber let you know this is more than a stock
Corvette and the wide tires grip the road with ease. While this car
is an older restoration, it has held up well and has many desirable
drivability upgrades!
Under the hood sits a highly coveted, limited production Chevrolet
ZL1 Anniversary 427 Heritage crate engine. These engines were
produced for 2009 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
Chevrolet W-series big block V8 engine. They were even produced to
ZL1 specs using original 1969 tooling! Just 427 of these engines
were produced, and the one in this Corvette is number 13. Attached
to the car is the Heritage 427 data tag and 013/427 is stamped on
the engine. It may not be the original engine, but it is one heck
of a choice for a storied classic like this! Additionally, the
original small block V8 for this Corvette is included with the
sale. The 427 is not only incredibly cool, and will certainly have
enormous collector value in the future, but it moves this Corvette
like nothing else! This is a well-equipped car that was built to
run. It sounds amazing, and is easy enough to drive casually while
having that "horsepower on demand" in reserve if you want to go
fast.
Underneath you'll find four wheel disc brakes from Baer, a Milodon
oil pan, a Shark Bite rear coilover mount, coilover shocks, and not
a leaf spring in sight. Additional upgrades include longtube
headers, a custom dual exhaust system, and rack & pinion steering
to optimize ease of use. This puppy is set up right and dialed in!
The 427 is mated to a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a
clutch strong enough to handle the power, but easy enough to use
that it won't numb your leg.
The interior is nearly immaculate, and is in completely stock form
aside from the subtle addition of an aftermarket woodgrain steering
wheel and the mock-original 5-speed shift pattern plate. The blue
vinyl is all in great condition, and all normal wear items are as
well. The condition of the interior alone speaks for the quality
restoration this car received! a Vintage Air A/C system is the
crown jewel of the interior, providing cool air for cruising on
those hot summer days.
This is a high-quality cruiser ready to turn heads at a car show or
tear up the streets with your friends. Even if you're looking for a
classic that is easy to drive on a regular basis around town, this
may be the perfect Corvette for you. Don't miss out on a chance to
own this American icon!
