Authentic Black 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L71 Stingray, equipped with its original numbers matching 427/435hp tri-power engine, correct restored red leather interior, nicely optioned with power steering, power disc brakes, factory side exhaust and one year only, turbine styled bolt on wheels and that unmistakable ominous a red stinger hood. This is a proven investment grade black L71 Corvette Stingray. We have been in business for over 22 year and have been fortunate to have great customers who chosen to call us when selling the cars they have purchased from us in the past. We have actually purchased this incredible L71 Stingray three times and have paid more for it each time because it has continued to increase in value. Certified by the trim tag, which appears to be very old, original and untouched, which authenticates this is Corvette as a very rare and desirable, code-900AA factory black car with code-408CA correct newer restored red leather interior. The engine of this Black 1967 Stingray is a very correct L71 427/435hp (HIGH PERF) high performance block, that is date code correct, number matching with the correct, older factory, engine stamp has correct consistent sequential numbers on the front of the pad as shown in pictures, with factory broach marks and ridges and correct JE L71 engine suffix code. This 427/435hp engine is topped off with correct Winters intake and the tri-power 3x2 duces three carburetor setup. This high horsepower L71 big block car is also validated by a 6500 redline tachometer, 80 psi oil gauge, correct heavy duty big block suspension with sway bar and heavy duty half shafts. The engine sounds absolutely amazing rumbling through the newer factory side exhaust and is highly optioned equipped with power steering to track through those curvy roads and new power disc brakes to better stop this black steel beast and set off by turbine style bolt-on wheels with redline radials. The cockpit this amazing Corvette looks amazing with newer correct red leather seating and a restored dash with clear crisp newer instrumentation and the odometer showing only 8179 miles, which we believe to be the miles on the car since it underwent and extensive frame-off restoration right before the first time we purchased the car out of a high-end Corvette collection. We are very fortunate have been able to own this incredible black and red L71 Corvette Stingray for a third time and like most older corvettes, there is no original owner paperwork and it has not been through the formal NCRS process. If it was an original black and red, NCRS top flight pedigree car, it would be priced significantly higher. Driving down the road in this thundering black American Dream Machine is an amazing experience and 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, it 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 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.
