The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette is a classic American sports car that marked the final year of the second generation (C2) Corvette. Here are some facts about the 1967 Chevrolet Corvette:

Sting Ray Design: The 1967 Corvette retained the iconic Sting Ray design introduced in 1963. It featured a sleek, aerodynamic profile with distinctive lines and a distinctive fastback design.

Body Styles: The 1967 Corvette was available in two body styles: the Convertible and the Coupe. The Coupe featured a unique feature known as the "Stinger" hood, which had a simulated air vent.

Engine Options: Several engine options were available for the 1967 Corvette, ranging from the base 327 cubic inch V8 to the powerful 427 cubic inch V8. The most powerful version was the L88, a high-performance racing engine with a rating of 430 horsepower, though it's believed that the actual power output was significantly higher.

Tri-Power Carburetion: Some models featured a triple two-barrel carburetor setup, commonly known as "Tri-Power." This configuration enhanced the car's performance and contributed to its muscular image.

Side Exhaust Option: One distinctive feature was the optional side exhaust pipes, which added to the aggressive look of the car. This option became popular and is often associated with the '67 Corvette.

Safety Features: The 1967 Corvette was one of the first American cars to come with standard front and rear disc brakes, contributing to improved stopping power.

Last of the C2 Generation: The 1967 model year was the final year of the second-generation Corvette. The C3 generation was introduced in 1968, making the '67 Corvette the last of its kind with the Sting Ray styling.
