Vehicle Description
*1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 427/435*The C2 generation of
Corvette marked a significant shift in Chevrolet's sports car
nameplate. Whereas the first ten years of production, the cars were
more grand-touring oriented, designed to do battle with the likes
of the Ford Thunderbird, when the C2 came out in 1963, it was a
real world-beating sports car, meant to take on the best Europe had
to offer. Only produced between 1963 and 1967, the C2 --known as
the Sting Ray-- offered a potent selection of small and big block
V8s, and was the first Corvette with independent rear suspension.
This 1967 Corvette 427/435 is one of the most powerful variants
from the era and benefits from a comprehensive restoration in the
late 1990s.Finished in a rare shade of Silver Pearl with a black
hood stinger, the 1967 Corvette is without a doubt one of the most
beautiful Chevrolets ever produced. Known for its low, wide design,
the side profile of this car looks even more aggressive thanks to a
set of sidewinder side-exit exhaust, that gives the car an
unbelievable sound and is quintessential C2. Although people may
disagree on the best wheels for this generation Sting Ray, the
Rally wheels on this car are always a great look, especially when
wrapped in a set of BFGoodrich redline tires. After the consignor
purchased this car in 1996, he treated it to a complete body-off
restoration that still shows extremely well today with excellent
panel alignment and considerable time spent getting the paint and
body completely dialed in.The interior is just as nice as the
exterior, with black vinyl bucket seats and the classic Corvette
dual-cockpit design. Slide into the driver's seat and you are met
with a 3-spoke teak-rimmed steering wheel, that frames a large
speedometer and tachometer, with fuel level and water temperature
gauges to the side. A vertical radio head unit sits in the center
stack, while a ball-topped metal shifter with T-handle reverse
lock-out dominates the center console. Behind the front seats is a
capacious storage area for luggage that is only accessible from
within the car.Although the exterior and interior of this car are
stunning, what really sets it apart is the powerplant under the
hood. A 427-cubic inch big block V8, topped with triple 2 bbl
Holley carburetors and an aluminum intake. Aside from the race-only
L88, this combination was the most powerful option available in a
Corvette in 1967, and was rated from Chevrolet at 435 horsepower.
The block castings indicate this car is numbers matching, with the
correct "JE" suffix. Power is then sent through a Muncie M21
4-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels via a Positraction
rear-end with 4.11 gears. Even today, this car feels remarkably
fast and makes you realize what a rocket ship it must have been in
the mid-1960s.The C2 Sting Ray remains probably one of the most
sought after Corvettes in the brand's history, and a final year
example with the 427/435 engine is near the top of the heap for
desirability. From its stunning good looks to its incredible
performance, it is no wonder this generation became a true American
icon and continues to be appreciated by car enthusiasts of all
ages.*Key Features* * Numbers Matching 427ci V8 * Triple 2bbl
