Introduced in 1963, the Corvette C2 "Sting Ray" (1963-1967) is
admired for its elegant yet purposeful design. Developed under Zora
Arkus-Duntov, these Corvettes were available with a wide range of
engines, transmissions, and performance options. While big-block
variants often dominate discussion, the lightweight 327 cu-in
engines remain a favored choice, particularly in Convertible form
with side-mounted exhaust.
According to its body paint and trim plate, this 1967 Corvette
Sting Ray Convertible's body was produced on 15 June 1967 (K15) at
the A.O. Smith plant. Finished in attractive Sunfire Yellow (984)
and fitted with Black vinyl upholstery, the production number
"121820" on the chassis tag aligns with known monthly GM production
data. The two-part engine pad serial number stamp "7121820 V0608HE"
indicates that this engine was built at Chevrolet's Flint, Michigan
plant on the 8th of June with the last two characters "HE"
identifying the engine specification as a 327 cu-in, 300-horsepower
V8 with 10.0:1 compression ratio, a four-barrel Holley carburetor,
and an M20 four-speed manual transmission without air conditioning.
The remaining numbers indicate 1967 production followed by the
sequential body production number "121820," matching the aluminum
serial number tag located under the glove box.
This attractive, late production Sting Ray is additionally offered
with its Corvette Order Copy, often known as the tank sticker,
dealership Car Invoice, and sales contract. The former records the
original options fitted in June 1967 that include an AM/FM Radio,
Positraction, and Whitewall tires. The invoice and Protect-O-Plate
from Jerry's Govans Chevrolet of Baltimore, Maryland-famous for
their radio ad "5600 York Road at Bellona, the best place to become
a Chevrolet Own-ah"-show the convertible was sold on 29 July 1967
to Russell Eugene Feurer of nearby Cockeysville. Feurer traded in a
1965 Oldsmobile Convertible for the new Sting Ray, quite the
upgrade!
Feurer's application for an Indiana title reveals a move to
Indianapolis in 1969. By 1978, the car was acquired by George
Nosenko of Illinois, a devoted long-term owner of 45 years who
brought the car with him to Maricopa, Arizona in 2012. After his
passing in 2023, the car was acquired by the consignor in 2024.
Today, the car features an exterior restoration in its original
colors of creamy Sunfire Yellow with a black-upholstered interior
and recently installed soft top with mild period-correct upgrades
that include power steering, side exhaust, and finned aluminum
rocker covers and intake from the L79 350 horsepower engine.
Impressively, the car, which is said to have just three owners
since 1967, shows just 24,290 miles on the odometer at the time of
cataloging, which the seller believes to be original based on prior
representations, the condition of the vehicle, and consistent
titles from 2012, 2023, and 2024. Furthermore, it retains its
original Protect-O-Plate, original wheel trim removal card, and
original owner's manual in its original plastic packet and is
accompanied by a rare suite of documentation that underscores its
authenticity and long-term stewardship.
