1967 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Convertible

The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray was offered with seven different engines, from the mild 300 horsepower 327 cubic-inch base model to upgraded performance options, to the 435 hp 427 CID V8, and even the race-ready L88 mill. Further catering to multiple uses and configurations, the Corvette was offered with five different transmissions. Updates to the body included the 1967-only fender vents, backup lamps, and an updated 'Power Bulge' hood for the 427 engines.

This particular 1967 Corvette was the subject of a barn find. Powered by the L68 427 CID engine delivering 400 horsepower through three two-barrel carburetors, it was sold new in Florida. It was later inherited by the original owner's daughter, who would drive it occasionally before placing it in storage in a small garage for over three decades. When it was rediscovered, it had 26,190 miles on the odometer.

The Corvette has been returned to its as-delivered showroom condition, with original code 980 Elkhart Blue paint, 419 Teal Blue leather interior, date-coded L68 400 hp powerplant, M21 Close Ratio four-speed manual, G81 Positraction axle, N11 Off Road Exhaust and Q81 Red Line Tires. It is equipped with N40 Power Steering, N40 Power Steering, N36 Telescoping Steering Wheel, U69 AM-FM Radio, and C07 Auxiliary Hardtop.

In 2020, the Corvette was 'Gold Certified' by the Bloomington Gold organization. It has also earned the 'Top Flight' award from the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS).
