The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray represents the final and arguably most refined year of the legendary second-generation C2 design. Introduced in 1963 with its revolutionary split-window Sting Ray coupe, the C2 Corvette brought an entirely new level of sophistication to America's sports car, featuring a fully independent rear suspension, a shorter wheelbase, and a rigid ladder-type frame with a reinforced central structure. Its distinctive styling, inspired by the Mako Shark concept, evolved through the years with improved performance, handling, and braking. By 1967, the Sting Ray had become a formidable performance machine, and the final-year C2 remains highly desirable among collectors for its combination of mature engineering, timeless styling, and direct connection to the Corvette's racing heritage.
This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is finished in factory-correct Code 900 Tuxedo Black over a Black Vinyl interior, complemented by a matching black vinyl convertible top. Originally specified with Code 402 Black Leather upholstery, the interior has since been retrimmed in vinyl. Under the hood resides its numbers-matching L79 327 cubic inch V8, factory rated at 350 horsepower, paired with a desirable four-speed manual transmission. The L79 was among Chevrolet's most celebrated small-block performance engines, combining a high-lift hydraulic camshaft, high-compression pistons, and a Holley four-barrel carburetor to deliver exhilarating performance in a remarkably compact package.
Further enhancing its driving character, this Corvette features power steering, a 3.08 Positraction rear axle, aluminum bolt-on alloy wheels, and BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial redline tires measuring 205/75R15. Modern conveniences include a Vintage Air air-conditioning system and a Custom Autosound AM/FM/Aux/Bluetooth audio system with upgraded dashboard and kick-panel speakers. An auxiliary hardtop is also included, offering additional versatility for seasonal driving.
Approximately in 2018, this Corvette underwent an extensive body-off restoration addressing both its presentation and mechanical integrity. The work included a rebuilt drivetrain, new suspension components, stainless-steel fuel and brake lines, fresh rubber bushings, braking components, new wiring, weather stripping, interior upholstery, and a new convertible top. The exterior was professionally refinished and polished to a mirror-like finish, resulting in a striking presentation that complements the car's classic black-on-black color scheme.
In 2023, further upgrades were completed to enhance reliability and year-round drivability. A complete Vintage Air system was installed alongside a Holley Sniper electronic fuel-injection system, providing modern fuel delivery and improved drivability while retaining the character of the original small-block V8. Recently serviced and fully sorted, this Corvette is ready for immediate enjoyment.
As the concluding year of the C2 generation, the 1967 Corvette occupies a special place in Chevrolet history. Its timeless styling, numbers-matching L79 performance, four-speed transmission, extensive restoration, and thoughtfully selected modern upgrades make this Tuxedo Black convertible an appealing blend of vintage Corvette character and contemporary driving comfort.
