NCRS Top Flight 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible L71 427/435 4-Speed

Description

“The Sting Ray is the most sophisticated car made in America, and among the best-engineered sports cars made anywhere in the world,” wrote Car and Driver in 1967. Introduced in 1963, Chevrolet’s forward-thinking “Sting Ray” redefined the Corvette. The last of the C2 Corvettes, 1967, is widely regarded as the most elegant and powerful of the generation.

Buyers in 1967 could choose from a vast array of options including the famed mind-altering 435-hp L71 427 tri-carb big-block with a four-speed. The 1967 model was the most refined, with less trim, five fender vents, and a unique big-block “stinger” hood scoop.

Built January 13, 1967, this L71 Corvette is finished in its factory trim tag colors of Rally Red and a Black stinger stripe over a standard black vinyl interior. The car retains a correct L71 engine and 4-speed manual gearbox.

That authenticity was substantiated by Bloomington Gold Certification in April 2013. It also earned the NCRS Top Flight Award in June 2013, judged to be 94.7 percent of “Typical Factory Production.”

This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible L71 is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean North Carolina title.
