Vehicle Description
Authentic Black 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L71 Stingray,
equipped with its original numbers matching 427/435hp tri-power
engine, correct restored red leather interior,
nicely optioned with power steering, power disc brakes, factory
side exhaust and one year only, turbine styled bolt on wheels and
that unmistakable ominous a red stinger hood.
This is a proven investment grade black L71 Corvette Stingray.
We have been in business for over 22 year and have been fortunate
to have great customers who chosen to call us when selling the cars
they have purchased from us in the past. We have actually purchased
this incredible L71 Stingray three times and have paid more for it
each time because it has continued to increase in value.
Certified by the trim tag, which appears to be very old, original
and untouched, which authenticates this is Corvette as a very rare
and desirable, code-900AA factory black car with code-408CA correct
newer restored red leather interior.
The engine of this Black 1967 Stingray is a very correct L71
427/435hp (HIGH PERF) high performance block, that is date code
correct, number matching with the correct, older factory, engine
stamp has correct consistent sequential numbers on the front of the
pad as shown in pictures, with factory broach marks and ridges and
correct JE L71 engine suffix code. This 427/435hp engine is topped
off with correct Winters intake and the tri-power 3x2 duces three
carburetor setup. This high horsepower L71 big block car is also
validated by a 6500 redline tachometer, 80 psi oil gauge, correct
heavy duty big block suspension with sway bar and heavy duty half
shafts.
The engine sounds absolutely amazing rumbling through the newer
factory side exhaust and is highly optioned equipped with power
steering to track through those curvy roads and new power disc
brakes to better stop this black steel beast and set off by turbine
style bolt-on wheels with redline radials.
The cockpit this amazing Corvette looks amazing with newer correct
red leather seating and a restored dash with clear crisp newer
instrumentation and the odometer showing only 8179 miles, which we
believe to be the miles on the car since it underwent and extensive
frame-off restoration right before the first time we purchased the
car out of a high-end Corvette collection.
We
are very fortunate have been able to own this incredible black and
red L71 Corvette Stingray for a third time and like most older
corvettes, there is no original owner paperwork and it has not been
through the formal NCRS process. If it was an original black and
red, NCRS top flight pedigree car, it would be priced significantly
higher.
Driving down the road in this thundering black American Dream
Machine is an amazing experience and is priceless.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette (C2)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, it 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 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 Dream Machines
