Produced from only 1963 to 1967, the second generation “C2” Corvette is the shortest-lived of the model’s eight generations. With a new, ever-more performance-focused third generation on the horizon, Chevrolet closed out the production run of the C2 Sting Ray with an especially potent engine: the 427-cubic-inch L71 V8. With an 11:1 compression ratio, three two-barrel Holley carburetors, a solid-lifter camshaft, and enlarged valve heads, the motor was good for (a likely under-rated) 435 horsepower at 5,800 rpm. With power delivered through a close-ratio Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission, the Corvette was a genuine beast, offering acceleration and a top speed equal to or exceeding many other American performance cars of its time.
The fantastic 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray 427/435hp Convertible offered here is finished in distinctive Marina Blue with a Black ‘Stinger’ stripe over a Bright Blue interior with a White folding convertible top.
