**** THIS VEHICLE WILL BE OFFERED FOR AUCTION AT THE GREENSBORO
CLASSIC CAR AUCTION - JULY 27 - JULY 29, 2017 **** Chevrolet had
intended to introduce its third generation Corvette in 1967,
however, due to various problems was unable to do so. Rather, they
executed a slight redesign of the 1966 model creating by many
accounts the single most collectible Corvette of all time. This
Elkhart Blue 67' coupe was disassembled and stored in a garage in
1985 with the intentions of a full restoration. Fast forward 25
years to when new life was breathed into the Sting Ray. As it was
missing many of its original components, including the engine, it
was decided to restomod the Corvette and make the car perform even
better than when new. While keeping the Sting Ray close to the
original classic design all of the drivetrain was fully modernized.
A new Chevrolet LS3 aluminum V8 was installed producing a reliable
430 horsepower on demand and was mated to a Tremec 5-speed
transmission. All this power exits a set of custom Street
Performance headers and a chambered dual exhaust system. The entire
chassis was updated with front and rear coil over QA1 shocks and
Hyperco springs and also includes a set of Van Steel tubular
a-frames and offset trailing arms. This confidence inspiring
suspension rolls on a set of classic Rally wheels mounted to Coker
Redline radial tires and is stopped by the power Wilwood disc brake
system. Inside the factory appearing cabin you will find a set of
custom upholstered bucket seats and beautiful leather upholstery
throughout. Keeping things cool is a Vintage Air climate control
system. Even the radio, that looks like factory original, is
actually a modern version that features USB, MP3 and Bluetooth
capabilities. With a little over 300 miles on the completed car
this restomod has been fully sorted out and is ready for a new
home. The classic looks, coupled with the updated mechanicals, make
this an extraordinary 1967 Corvette Sting Ray that is a pleasure to
own and an absolute thrill to drive. Stock Number: CCCD67 VIN:
