Gorgeous 1967 jet black numbers matching 427/435 hp, L-71 roadster with lush red leather interior optioned with a tri-power carburetor setup, side exhaust and bolt on wheels, power steering, power disc brakes and two tops. This incredible Stingray was recently purchased back from from a very good customer and we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to own this beautiful black street beast for a second time. It is the actual Black Beast L-71 Corvette featured in our shop tour video. Here is the link. https://www.admcars.com/the-black-beast-shop-tour.htm This stunning American Dream Machine has a sleek stingray body with impeccable panel fit and topped off a red 427 stinger hood, This eye-catching corvette has one of the most desirable drive train and color combinations! The two top car features a black soft top and a rare black vinyl hard top. This Street Beast is a true 427/435 hp big block midyear mid year, numbers matching with broach marks, date code correct, with correct JE suffix code, Winters intake, tri-power set setup, correct 6500 tachometer, 80 psi gauge, big block heavy duty sway bar and half shafts. It has been showcased in a climate controlled environment and has had very few miles since restoration. Based on our inspection of the car we feel the car is a real deal original L-71, 427/435hp car and the trim tag may have been replaced or changed at some time because it appears newer. The tag currently reflects a code 900AA black car, with code 408CA red leather interior. Like most classic corvettes, there is no original owner paperwork and the car has not been NCRS judged, but driving down the road at half the price in this gorgeous black street beast with thundering side exhaust with bolt on wheels, is priceless.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette (C2)
The 1967 Corvette Sting Ray was the last Corvette of the second generation, and five years of refinements made it the best of the line. Although it was meant to be a redesign year, its intended successor the C3 was found to have some undesirable aerodynamic traits. Duntov demanded more time in the wind tunnel to devise fixes before it went into production.
Changes were again modest: Five smaller front fender vents replaced the three larger ones, and flat-finish rockers sans ribbing conferred a lower, less chunky appearance. New was a single backup light, mounted above the license plate. The previous models' wheel covers gave way to slotted six-inch Rally wheels with chrome beauty rings and lug nuts concealed behind chrome caps. Interior alterations were modest and included revised upholstery, and the handbrake moved from beneath the dash to between the seats. The convertible's optional hardtop was offered with a black vinyl cover, which was a fad among all cars at the time. The 427 was available with a 1282 ft/min (605 L/s) Holley triple two-barrel carburetor arrangement, which the factory called Tri-Power. The ultimate Corvette engine for 1967 was coded L88, even wilder than the L89, and was as close to a pure racing engine as Chevy had ever offered in regular production. Besides the lightweight heads and bigger ports, it came with an even hotter camshaft, stratospheric 12.5:1 compression, an aluminum radiator, small-diameter flywheel, and a single huge Holley four-barrel carburetor. Although the factory advertised L88 rating was 430 bhp at 4600 rpm, the true rating was said to be about 560 bhp at 6400 rpm. The very high compression ratio required 103-octane racing fuel, which was available only at select service stations. Clearly this was not an engine for the casual motorist. When the L88 was ordered, Chevy made several individual options mandatory, including Positraction, the transistorized ignition, heavy-duty suspension, and power brakes, as well as RPO C48, which deleted the normal radio and heater to cut down on weight and discourage the car's use on the street. As costly as it was powerful - at an additional $1,500 over the base $4,240.75 price - the L88 engine and required options were sold to a mere 20 buyers that year. With potential buyers anticipating the car's overdue redesign, sales for the Sting Ray's final year totaled 22,940, down over 5,000 units from 1966 results. Meanwhile, Chevrolet readied its third-generation Corvette for the 1968 model year.
