equipped with its original numbers matching 427/435hp

factory side exhaust and one year only, turbine styled bolt on

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. EXTERIOR: Extensive frame-off restored Black

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
