Carefully and continuously improved from introduction, the Corvette matured into a universally respected sports car, especially during its second-generation 1963-67 run. In addition to the new Corvette Sting Ray’s independent rear suspension debuted for 1963, a long-awaited set of 4-wheel disc brakes came at all four corners for 1965. As the last model year for the second-generation 1963-67 Corvette, the 1967 edition is regarded by Corvette experts and enthusiasts as the best of the breed with its refined styling and wide array of standard and optional high-performance features and options. A total of 22,940 Corvettes were produced for 1967, of which 14,436 were convertibles. Of them, just 3,754 were equipped with the $437.10 RPO L71 427/435 Tri-Power engine with three Holley 2-barrel carburetors. Powered by a matching-numbers L71 427/435 HP V-8 engine, which is paired with a matching-numbers Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission and matching-numbers 4.11 Positraction rear end, this Rally Red 1967 Corvette convertible also features a black hood stinger, interior and soft top. Other highlights include factory born-with side exhaust, power windows, K66 transistorized ignition, F41 special heavy-duty suspension, stainless steel brakes, an AM/FM radio and bolt-on aluminum wheels mounting red- stripe tires. Most all factory-correct-type components are present, including the spare, jack, jack tools, seat belts, washer system, shifter, shielding, braided wires, air cleaner, alternator, distributor, hoses, hose clamps, starter, gas door assembly and glovebox door. Sporting a body-off restoration, this high-specification Corvette is Bloomington Gold certified and decorated with NCRS Top Flight, MCACN Concours Gold and MCACN Triple Diamond awards. In addition to retaining its factory-original body/trim tag with Al Grenning/CCAS affirmation, the Corvette is documented by a partial tank sticker (Corvette Order Copy form), owner history and the Bloomington Gold, NCRS and Triple Diamond awards, certificates and judging sheets, plus an NCRS/GM shipping data report, owner’s manual, sales brochure and a three-ring binder.
