Description

The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette is considered a classic American sports car and is part of the second generation of the Corvette lineup (C2). Here are some key facts about the 1967 Chevy Corvette:

Sting Ray Design: The 1967 Corvette retained the iconic Sting Ray design introduced in 1963. It featured the distinctive "Coke bottle" shape with flared fenders and a sleek, aerodynamic profile.

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.

Big Block Options: The 427 cubic inch big-block V8 engines were available in three configurations: the L36 (390 hp), the L68 (400 hp), and the aforementioned L88.

Four-Speed Manual Transmission: The standard transmission for the 1967 Corvette was a four-speed manual, but buyers could also opt for a Powerglide automatic transmission.

Independent Rear Suspension (IRS): The 1967 Corvette continued to feature an independent rear suspension, contributing to its handling capabilities and overall performance.

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.

The 1967 Chevy Corvette is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts due to its classic design, powerful engine options, and its place in Corvette history as the culmination of the second-generation models.
