For Sale: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette in Bradenton, Florida

1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible �€" 327/300hp, 4-Speed, Rally Red Why This Car Is Special The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray is widely regarded as the finest expression of the second-generation Corvette, known among enthusiasts simply as the C2. It was the last year of the body style introduced in 1963, and Chevrolet used that final model year to refine everything that had come before. The fender vents were restyled, the interior received updated trim, and the overall package was cleaner and more sorted than any previous C2. Collectors have long placed the 1967 Corvette at or near the top of the C2 hierarchy for exactly these reasons. The VIN on this car decodes to a 1967 Corvette convertible built at the St. Louis assembly plant, equipped from the factory with the 327 cubic inch V8. That engine designation �€" the 'S' in the sequence �€" confirms the 327ci 300hp Turbo-Fire, which was the base V8 offered that year. The 300-horsepower 327 was a single four-barrel carburetor engine with a hydraulic camshaft, making it the most street-friendly of the four 327 options available in 1967. It is smooth, reliable, and more than adequate for spirited driving. Owners who wanted a Corvette they could use every day without demanding constant maintenance typically chose this engine, and many Corvette historians consider it the most practical combination the C2 offered. Chevrolet produced 14,436 Corvette convertibles for the 1967 model year, out of a total run of 22,940 cars. Rally Red was one of the most popular exterior colors of the era, and pairing it with a black interior and a black convertible top is about as classic a combination as this model offers. This particular car presents as an honest, well-kept example �€" not a show car built to win trophies, but a correct, driver-quality 1967 Corvette Sting Ray that checks the boxes collectors and drivers alike care most about.

At 300 horsepower, this version used a single Holley four-barrel carburetor and a hydraulic lifter camshaft, which keeps valve adjustments to a minimum and gives the engine its notably smooth idle. The engine bay on this car is presented correctly, with the orange-painted block that is consistent with period Corvette practice, and the 327/300 air cleaner decal visible on the chrome lid. Everything under the hood has a tidy, correct appearance. The Muncie 4-speed manual transmission backs that engine. Muncie close-ratio and wide-ratio four-speeds were factory options in 1967, and this car is equipped with a Muncie unit that complements the 300-horsepower rating. The Muncie transmissions were built in Muncie, Indiana, and were considered among the strongest and most satisfying-shifting gearboxes of the era. They remain highly sought after today. Four-wheel disc brakes were standard equipment on all 1967 Corvettes �€" a significant advancement that Chevrolet introduced to the Corvette lineup in 1965. Combined with power brakes, this car stops with far more confidence than older drum-brake Corvettes. Power steering was also ordered, which lightens the effort at parking speeds without removing the feedback that makes the C2 enjoyable to drive on an open road. The independent rear suspension, first introduced on the Corvette in 1963, is visible and intact from below. The C2's rear suspension used a three-link arrangement with a U-jointed half-shaft acting as the upper control arm on each side, locating the rear wheels
