Produced from only 1963 to 1967, the second generation “C2” Corvette is, thus far, the shortest-lived of the model’s eight generations. With a new, increasingly performance-focused third generation on the horizon, Chevrolet introduced an especially potent engine for the 1966 model year: the 427-cubic-inch L71 V8. With an 11:1 compression ratio, three two-barrel Holley carburetors, a solid-lifter camshaft, and enlarged valve heads, the motor was good for (a likely under-rated) 435 horsepower at 5,800 rpm. With power delivered through a close-ratio Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission, a Corvette so equipped blurred the line between sports and muscle cars.
Of course, in addition to the new motor, Chevrolet made a variety of updates throughout the car for the 1966 and 1967 model years. Notably, many of the exterior emblems were deleted for 1967, the push towards a more minimalistic appearance also bringing flat rocker panel covers and more modest wheel options. Inside, the handbrake was relocated to the center console, while updated seat upholstery and a new dashboard cowl kept things feeling fresh. As the final model year of the C2, 1967 cars are typically some of the most desirable - especially those fitted with the big-block V8.
The magnificent 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 427/435hp Convertible offered here is finished in its exceptionally rare and highly desirable factory color combination of Lynndale Blue over a Black interior with a matching Black folding convertible top. This vehicle was ordered with numerous high-performance options in addition to its L71 V8: a Muncie close-ratio four-speed manual, a Positraction differential, the ‘off-road’ exhaust, and an F41 heavy-duty suspension. As such, this Corvette represents one of the top-performing American vehicles from its era.
Following a concours-level restoration, this investment-grade Corvette won a coveted Bloomington Gold Certification, ensuring this incredible vehicle is ready to be shown or driven by its next caretaker. Additionally, this fantastic Chevrolet comes accompanied by an owner’s manual, judging sheets, and reproduction window sticker. We are proud to offer this award-winning Corvette 427 to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who demands to own one of the best at an investment price!
