Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet CorvetteHere's a rare 1967 Chevrolet Corvette thats
wrapping a supercharged LS7 in a custom chassis and swaths of
hand-stitched leather, this incredible black coupe is an 815
horsepower land rocket that gives new meaning to the phrase 'out of
this world'. And best of all, you can have all that comfort and
performance without sacrificing any old school style! An
exceptionally solid survivor, this stunning Sting Ray was
completely disassembled, carefully modified and professionally
restored by an enthusiast who wanted to capitalize on timeless
beauty and decades of improving technology. As you can tell from
our high resolution photos, the car is razor-straight, no doubt
requiring minimal work to present better-than-new aesthetics. Once
its body was stripped and sufficiently prepped, layers of PPG Super
Jet Black base were sealed in clear, carefully wet-sanded and
buffed to a brilliant shine. And today, this Corvette rolls as one
spectacular classic with no filler, no questionable seams, no
bulges, and nothing else that would demerit its excellent
restoration. The second generation of America's favorite sports car
debuted a much more assertive demeanor thanks to GM's renewed
dedication to motorsports, and that newfound aggression is
especially prevalent in this coupe's edgy detailing. The car opens
with a shaved clip, which tucks a painted and stainless-trimmed
grille behind thin 'razor blade' bumpers and bright, bullet-style
parking lamps. Above that grille, an exaggerated Stinger Hood,
which looks downright evil, leads the eye to bright stainless trim
and lightly tinted glass. At the sides of that hood, a shaved
profile hangs '67-exclusive heat extractors in front of chrome door
handles, a stylish mirror, and chambered and shielded side pipes.
And behind those pipes, a shaved deck lid centers a
cross-flag-branded fuel cap above traditional taillights and two
more 'razor blade' bumpers. An aftermarket take on GM's
award-winning LS7, roughly producing 815 horsepower right off the
showroom floor. At the top of the virtually new mill, a reusable
filter element pipes wind through a air tube to a beefy Magnuson
supercharger and GM electronic fuel injection. That perfect
air/fuel mixture falls into a factory-style intake that's bolted
between free-flowing heads, forged internals and Mast Motorsports
plug wires. Below those wires, ceramic coated headers funnel spent
gases into large-diameter tail pipes. And in front of those
headers, a beefy Griffin radiator, which is equipped with two Spal
puller fans, circulates water past an attractive, polished
serpentine system. While this engine's main purpose is to go
straight at a very high rate of speed, it's still very impressive
to look at. And accessories like stainless hardware, braided hoses
and American Autowire wiring ensure it'll wow show-goers and
gear-heads alike. Park this Vette on a lift and you'll find a
custom Street Shop chassis that's been bolted to clean floor tubs
and bathed in glossy black pigment. Behind the stout small block, a
reliable Tremec T56 6-speed, which was sourced directly from a
Dodge Viper, twists torque to a rugged, aftermarket third member.
That first class drivetrain rolls on a fourth generation Corvette
independent suspension that's been fitted with a 1-inch sway bar,
fresh urethane bushings and smooth coil-over-shocks. Turns come
courtesy of modern power steering. Confident stops are provided by
red C5 corvette factory brakes, power-assisted calipers which
squeeze big, vented rotors. Exhaust rolls from the previously
mentioned headers to the aforementioned side pipes. Power flows
through custom Billet Specialties wheels, which spin 225/50R18
Falken Ziex ZE-912s in front of 245/60R18 Falken Ziex ZE-912s. And
everything from this Chevy's brake lines to its fuel filter is
professionally finished, superbly detailed and ready for action.
Pop the car's lightweight doors and you'll find a hand-stitched
leather interior that's complete, tasteful and classic. Front and
center, a pair of modified Corvette Z06 buckets, which were fully
rebuilt at the time of restoration, feel both comfortable and
supportive. In front of those seats, a leather-wrapped dual-cowl
dash hangs retrofitted AC vents below a Custom Autosound head unit
and electronic Auto Meter gauges. At the sides of that dash,
two-tone door panels center stylish billet hardware between
sculpted armrests and tasteful stainless trim. At the bottom of
those panels, clean California Carpet features stain-free shading
thanks to color-keyed floor mats. At the center of that carpet, a
full-length console frames a beefy, leather-wrapped shifter. In
front of the driver, a custom Billet Specialties steering wheel,
which matches the car's rolling stock, spins a half-wrapped and
color-keyed rim. And behind the passengers, a custom upholstered
storage compartment, which features Sting Ray-mimicking speaker
grilles, displays virtually no signs of use. Even without admiring
its serious mechanical ability, anyone with the slightest
automotive intuition can easily see this Vette is one exceptional
performer. There are very few C2s, and even fewer classics, that
are as capable as this coupe. And if you're a discerning enthusiast
who dreams of owning the ultimate sports car, it's a once in a
lifetime opportunity!
