Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster
Stingrays are commonly found in the shallow coastal waters of
temperate seas. They spend the majority of their time inactive,
partially buried in sand, often moving only with the sway of the
tide. When they are inclined to move, most stingrays swim by
undulating their bodies like a wave; others flap their sides like
wings. The tail may also be used to maneuver in the water, but its
primary purpose is protection. When swimming under duress, they can
propel themselves incredibly fast and nimble through the water.
Here we see a 1967 Corvette with the "stinger hood". Born as a
power example Corvette with a matching numbers 327ci engine and now
an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and 4-speed Muncie. It has the
classic Sting Ray look. Nimble, very fast, and the look from 1967,
Harley Earl's team was definitely at the top of their game, and
this car is at the top link of the wow factor chain.
Exterior
Silver Pearl painstakingly applied shows well but has various
inclusions and sanding marks especially in the fender gills. A
stinger hood, red line tires, rally wheels with deep dish trim
rings, and working hidden headlights this car is A plus. Wonderful
to the ear and eyes, the factory side pipes are present, and add a
nice contrast to the split front and rear chrome bumpers. The shark
gill front quarter vents add a little menacing look and some side
texture. A new black convertible top has been put on and works
flawlessly. This car also comes with a matching fiberglass hardtop
which when on the car takes on a sporting classy look.
Interior
A black set of low back bomber style vinyl buckets and dash
covering, as well as center console armrest and chromed shift lever
are virtually spotless. The standard Corvette "2 hump dash" houses
the instrument cluster on the driver's side, and the arched door
glovebox on the passenger side. A vertical divider running from the
console to the dash, houses the sideways AM/FM radio, and a clock.
Flooding the floor and back storage compartment is beautiful deep
pile black loop pile carpeting with no marks or fades. Finally, a
wood rimmed steering wheel is fronting the drivers eyebrow part of
the dash.
Drivetrain
Numbers matching 327 cubes L79 V8 grace this fully restored and
beautiful original looking engine bay. It is shoehorned in with its
red/orange GM painted block, and matte finish cast aluminum ribbed
valve coverings. Hoses and wiring are supple and like new and all
black paint is looking wonderfully patinated throughout. An
Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor replaces the original, but the
consignor has the original rebuilt carburetor in a box that will
come with this car. (he said he finds the Edelbrock to be more
reliable!). A numbers matching Muncie P7R07 4-speed manual
transmission is on back, and a 3:36 posi rear axle is original and
on.
Undercarriage
Just like the topside, all buttoned up with no rust, solid
structural rust free steel and floor pans and rockers. Independent
coil springs with concentric springs are in front, and for the rear
is independent rear suspension with a frame mounted differential
unit, double universal jointed tubular axles and transverse multi
leaf springs. Disc brakes on all 4 corners and of course the side
pipes handle the exhale.
Drive-Ability
It is wonderful to be in the Silver Pearl, and surrounded by black
interior with a shark look, stinger hood, and 327ci awaiting my
foot to tickle the throttle. And I did and then some on the test
track where it performed swimmingly. I did notice the wipers were
nonfunctional during my test drive, and the signal stalk needed to
be held for the left blinker action to work. But no matter, I
wanted to listen to the 8 cylinders working in unison, and the
throaty side exit exhaust.
A nicely redone example with a gorgeous interior. Sitting in this
car brings you back to the showroom in 1967, and you can almost
harken back to 1967 and the salesman putting the pressure on to
take it home to the little lady, (who is probably going to bonk you
over the head with a frying pan if you did, but you gotta luv the
60's)! Cranking the 327ci V8 4bbl over and pushing the throttle to
the floor will have you smelling rubber and avoiding said pan. Put
the top down and get some air in your hair. Or use the hardtop to
go out to dinner.
