A well-known member of the Corvette community and a recipient of the National Corvette Restorers Society’s prestigious Top Flight Award, this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible is widely recognized as the very last Midyear Corvette convertible produced. This milestone Midyear was produced on July 12, 1967, before the final two coupes, making it the third last Corvette of 22,940 produced for model year 1967. It was delivered new to Don Steves Chevrolet in La Habra, California, who sold it to its first owner, Robert Brown of Whittier, California, on July 28, 1967. A hugely desirable Triple Black example with Tuxedo Black paint, Black soft top, Black standard interior and Black auxiliary hardtop, it is one of only 815 1967 Corvettes factory finished in Tuxedo Black paint. As befits its status in the Corvette community, this is a no-nonsense driver’s machine equipped with the base 327/300 HP small-block V-8 engine, a Muncie M20 wide-ratio 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear end, all documented as matching numbers and original to the car. The car was additionally factory equipped with A.I.R. emissions equipment, Soft Ray tinted windshield, headrests, power steering, auxiliary hardtop, AM/FM radio and BF Goodrich 7.75x15 Silvertown Redline tires on Rally wheels. The fulsome documentation offered with this historically significant Sting Ray convertible includes complete ownership history back to original owner Brown, copies of previous registrations, a copy of the original Protect-O-Plate, the owner’s manual packet, cylinder case and trim tag affirmation certificates by Al Grenning’s Classic Car Affirmation Service, LLC, NCRS Top Flight Certificate and judging sheets and NCRS Shipping Data Reports for S122938 (this car), and the last two coupes, S122939 and S122940. Offered with just 44,168 documented original miles, the Very Last Midyear Convertible is a striking piece of Corvette history that presents in award-winning overall condition that will fulfill the wishes of the most discerning collector.
