1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427/390 Sting Ray 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 up to the “big-block” 427 cu-in variants with a four-speed producing an underrated 435 horsepower. 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, front fenders featuring five smaller air vents, and a new big-block hood scoop. Restored in its original colors of uncommon Silver Pearl (just one of 1,952 produced that year) and a Black stinger stripe correctly matching its black interior, this 1967 Sting Ray features side exhaust and steel rally wheels.
