This 1967 L71 Corvette Stingray convertible is a thoroughbred that was born to run. It features an original, numbers matching “JE” coded 427ci / 435 hp powerplant with factory 4:11 gears and N-11 offroad exhaust. It’s harnessed by a Muncie M-21 close ratio gear box. Under the same ownership for over 50 years, this beauty has 48,370 original miles along with its original tank sticker documenting its DNA. It’s menacing original Marlboro Maroon metallic paint scheme with black stinger, coupled with a black interior, black top and black rally wheels match the original sales brochure configuration. The car is not saddled with the extra weight of power options, spare tire, jack or power robbing AC. It looks factory fresh after undergoing a frame-on, ground-up restoration in 2017 including new fuel system, cooling system, brake system, exhaust system, body & paint (better than new), interior, convertible top, tires & battery. The engine was refreshed with new timing sprocket & chain, cam, fuel pump, spark plugs, distributor & wires, valve seals, rods & lifters, gaskets, seals as well as tri-power carb, clutch, and suspension rebuilds. It also includes a handful of period-correct “bolt-on” safety, performance and esthetic enhancements including scatter shield bell housing, direct replacement shortie headers, mechanical vs vacuum carb linkage, Serco race shifter, red-line radial tires and chrome valve covers. This is a high-quality performer that would be the pride of any collector.
