A matching-numbers drivetrain, previous membership in high- profile collections, a plethora of prestigious awards, extensive documentation and all the right options: these attributes are sought after by collectors demanding the very best. This 1967 Corvette Sting Ray convertible brings them all together in a single magnificent example with the added benefit of having been restored by one of the leading marque specialists in the hobby, the world-renowned Naber Brothers of Houston, Texas. Built on May 9, 1967 and delivered new to Gordon Wilson Chevrolet in Murray, Utah, this 1967 Sting Ray convertible was the ultimate production Corvette of its time, boasting the legendary L71 427 CI big-block Mark IV V-8 engine in concert with a Muncie M21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission and G81 Positraction differential with 3.70:1 gearing. Finished in Rally Red paint with a black Stinger, black interior and black soft top, it was further optioned with factory side exhaust, K66 transistor ignition, F41 special heavy-duty suspension, a color-matching auxiliary hard top, Soft Ray tinted glass, an AM/FM pushbutton radio and 7.75-15 Firestone redline tires on 15-inch Rally wheels. It was previously held in the collections of John Smart of Dallas and Vinny Giaquinto of Connecticut, and the car’s professional and meticulous restoration by Naber Brothers in Houston has earned Bloomington Gold Certification and multiple National Corvette Restorers Society Top Flight Regional Awards, testifying to its exceptional overall condition and authenticity. Its list of factory-correct components includes the spare, jack, jack tools, seat belts, shifter, shielding, air cleaner, F41 shocks, washer system, braided wires, alternator, distributor, hoses, hose clamps, window glass, valve covers, front and rear carburetors, heads, radiator, gas door assembly, glovebox door and T-3 headlights. In addition to affirmation of the original body/trim tag by Al Grenning’s Classic Car Affirmation Services, this multiple prize-winning Corvette treasure’s extensive documentation includes the NCRS/GM validated tank sticker, owner’s manual packet, owner history, previous owner titles, five pages of crucial number sheets, restoration photos, NCRS and Bloomington certificates and judging sheets, and a three-ring binder.
