1967 Chevrolet Corvette 327/350 Convertible

Description

Beginning in 1963 Chevrolet offered a new, forward-thinking body style for the Corvette dubbed the “Sting Ray”. Only lasting for five years (1963-1967) the C2 series is considered the most elegant and sporty of all Corvette generations, with head engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov purported to have said, “For the first time I now have a Corvette I can be proud to drive in Europe.” These C2 Corvettes were offered with an enormous range of engine, transmission, and performance options allowing anyone in the 1960s to order a boulevard cruiser with a 300 hp small-block and three-speed automatic all the way up to the race-special L88 engine allegedly producing a ground-pounding 580 hp. While the earlier C2s were constructed with more ornate trim, the 1967 model year is considered the most refined version of the “C2” series with the removal of excess exterior trim decoration and badging and front fenders featuring five smaller but functional air vents.

Ownership History

According to the chassis number sequence, this 1967 Sting Ray Convertible was produced in November 1966. Completely restored while under prior ownership, a post-restoration inspection summary from NCRS Judge Thomas Moore notes a rebuild of its matching numbers L79 V8 and numerous properly date-coded components, with Moore noting its “pristine” condition during inspection. While under current ownership the consignor of this most sportingly elegant Corvette Sting Ray notes that it has been garage kept.
