Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this absolutely
stunning 1967 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe with the high performance
L36 427ci/390hp big block engine, M21 close ratio 4-Speed
transmission, side pipes, power brakes, and redline tires. The car
is finished in the gorgeous and highly desirable color combination
of Sunfire Yellow over Black Vinyl.
There are close-up photos in this ad of the VIN stamp on the engine
block, engine assembly date, engine block casting date, VIN tag,
trim tag, VIN stamp on the transmission main case, transmission
assembly date, transmission main case casting number, transmission
tail housing casting number, transmission side cover casting
number, intake casting number, intake casting date, carburetor part
number, carburetor list number, and carburetor date code for any
potential buyer or professional to analyze.
There is a copy of a tank sticker pictured in this ad that the
previous owner said goes to this car. It is hard to read, but the
code "L36" for the 427ci/390hp engine is legible as well as "M21"
for the close ratio transmission and Sunfire Yellow for the color.
The tank sticker also shows tinted windshield "A02," headrests
"A82," power brakes "J50," and AM/FM radio "U69," all of which this
car has. The NCRS shipping data report is also included with the
car as well as the owner's manual. The trim tag on the car shows a
paint code of 994, we have not seen any reference to that paint
code in any of our reference books. The previous owner said that he
just had a fresh engine installed in the car this year. The engine
is completely stock in appearance and he sourced all correct parts
and accessories for the engine with correct part numbers and date
codes for the build date of this Sting Ray. This includes a correct
engine casting number on the block, engine casting date, intake,
distributor, alternator, starter, and carburetor. The engine
builder restamped the block with the last six digits of the VIN and
an appropriate engine build date and correct suffix code.
This Corvette looks utterly stunning, runs terrifically, and is an
absolutely thrilling driver with the 427 cubic inch big block
engine that is ready to be enjoyed. 1967 is considered to be the
best year for the Corvette and this 427ci 390hp is an ultimate
example of that model year. The market on C2 Corvettes is hot right
now and on the rise, especially for premium and rare cars like this
one; one could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than
the purchase price in years to come. Please peruse all of the
photos, video, numbers, and other information below to get a true
sense of how exceptional this Corvette really is.
As a side note, this Sting Ray is not a dealer auction vehicle. Our
Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone
that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did.
We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have
the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture.
We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Corvette, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Sunfire Yellow exterior is in beautiful condition. As one can
see in the photos the finish has dazzling gloss, deep shine, and
smooth finish. The "bolt on" wheels are in excellent condition with
a brilliant finish and no curb rash. The BF Goodrich Silverstone
radial redline tires are from 2024 and have been used very
sparingly. The redlines are an excellent complement to the look of
this Sting Ray. These tires offer the best of both worlds with the
vintage look of the redlines, but the modern performance and
handling of a radial. The chrome and other brightwork is in
excellent condition with a bright finish and no cloudiness,
scratches, or pitting. The original front bumpers were just
replaced and the original bumpers are included with the car. There
are no major imperfections that have been intentionally excluded
from the photo. There are a few nicks and hairline cracks, but
nothing that is noticeable from about five feet away. This Corvette
has no rust issues. As one can see in the many photos of the
underside of the car, this Corvette is totally solid and is clean
underneath.
Window Date Codes
Please note that all of the glass on this Corvette is date coded
and original as each piece, windshield, side windows, rear window,
and even both vent windows predate the car's body build date of
third week of April 23, 1967 (H23). Original glass is a good
indication that this car has had no major accident history and
never sustained significant damage.
Interior
The Black interior in this Sting Ray is in absolutely outstanding
condition. The seats are in excellent shape with no split seams,
rips, or excessive wear. The seat is not worn in the typical area
where the driver gets in and out. The carpet is also in great
condition with no stains, tears, or holes. This includes the rear
carpet, which is often neglected. The gauge faces are crisp and
clean and the lenses are clear. The door panels are in terrific
shape; there are no cracks in the typical spot where the driver's
elbow sits. The door pulls are solid and intact. The dash and
console look great with no cracks or sun fading. The original radio
works. Most importantly the dash has never been cut or modified for
an aftermarket installation. Please note that both seat belts work
and retract properly. This is a common problem on C3 Corvettes and
an issue many buyers do not think to check. The jack and jack
handle are still with the car. The spare is also still present.
This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are no burns marks
and no aroma of cigarettes at all.
Mechanical
This Corvette seems to be in great mechanical condition. As stated
above the L36 engine was just built. This car is pure excitement
out on the road. Please view the video to hear one of the best
exhaust notes in the classic car industry, a big block Corvette
engine with sidepipes. The car starts right away every time, runs
well, and idles well. The car drives terrifically on the road and
highway. In the video one can observe the car accelerating on the
highway up to about 70mph, braking to stoplight, and going through
some curves. Please note that there are no strange noises or
vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. There is no
blue smoke when starting or driving the car. The clutch feels good,
the transmission is very tight, and does not pop out of gear. The
brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The
engine runs cool and does not overheat. The gauge shows the engine
makes great oil pressure. This Corvette has plenty of power and is
exceptionally fast with the 427ci engine. Also, the engine
compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can
see in the photos. The correct air cleaner, valve covers, ignition
shielding, and braded ignition wires are still in place. The horn
works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights, and wipers.
The headlights go up and down properly, which is a very common
problem on second generation Corvette. The complete headlight
operation can be viewed in the video. The blower for heater does
not work. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is
to drive this car, especially with the 4-Speed, the extra power
from the L36, the sound of the sidepipes, and the top down out on a
beautiful day.
