1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427

Description

Original big block power, side pipes, and a four-speed on the floor... This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette has everything you want, and it has been given all the right investments to bring them their best. So you can read on for all the details, but you already know this is the best one if you're both a collector, and driver.

Ermine White is a great classic Chevy color, and it's actually rare for the '67 Corvette. More people opted to standout in red or green more than a sophisticated white. That's why we're pleased to see how amazingly nice the correct paint is on this coupe. This kind of presentation is a direct result on an investment in a thorough restoration. You'll feel the difference with the new body mounts, and see the difference in the shine of the modern clearcoat paint. But more than just a great paint, it has all the features that make this coupe so desirable. It includes the stinger hood accented in black, re-chroming of the intricate bumpers so they shine like mirrors, and of course, those iconic rumbling side pipes. It has all the great authentic big block 'Vette aggression, right down to the Rally wheels with redline tires.

Black vinyl is always a desirable interior to have in a car like this because it always gets you in the performance car mood before even turning the key. But it's far from a sea of darkness. There's plenty of brightwork on everything from the knobs for the AM/FM stereo and heater, to the glovebox lid in the iconic dual cowl dash. When you sit in the low-back bucket seats and grab the chrome shifter, the atmosphere instantly gets nostalgic. The woodgrained steering wheel feels great, and the welcomed addition of power steering on a big block makes piloting this C2 a breeze. But this is far from the only comfort in this Sting Ray. There have been some great upgrades such as an AM/FM/cassette stereo, and the modern R134a air conditioning means you stay cool while looking cool behind the wheel. All the gauges show crisp markings that let you keep an eye on the engine's status as you row through the gears.

There's definitely something magical about a 427 in a Corvette. So you know it's truly special having the original numbers-matching L36 motor still living under the hood, and looking fantastic. The largest c.i.d. V8 available that year is dressed properly with Chevy Orange on the block. Plus, there's a nice bit of flash with the correct ignition shield, upgraded valve covers, and chrome air cleaner w/427 decals. And while the presentation is extra tidy, you're going to love the V8 even more out on the road. That's because this big block was rebuilt, including new pistons, rings, camshaft, lifters, and valves. It's now topped with a Holley Street Avenger four-barrel carburetor. So, you know there is an even deeper roar out of those side pipes when you unleash the full fury of the 427. Making sure that you get full control over this power, and its thunderous soundtrack, is the four-speed manual transmission with new clutch. In fact, this big block classic is all about control. The fully-independent suspension holds the road better than some modern muscle machines, and the four-wheel disc brakes provide superior stopping power.

The sale comes complete with restoration receipts and the highly desirable and rare tank sticker – making this coupe immediately ready to be shown off. Of course, all the real fun of the big block Sting Ray is about getting to the events. This classic Corvette is the total package, and it's turnkey ready, so all it needs is a true collector to take it home. Is that you? Call today!!
