We
were fortunate
enough to buy this car for a third time! Like most older corvettes,
there is no original paperwork and it has not been through the
formal NCRS process, it would be priced significantly higher if
it
were a pedigree car.
Driving down the road in this thundering black American Dream
Machine is an amazing experience at an awesome price.

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
