The C2 Corvette, produced from 1963 to 1967, represents the pinnacle of the early Corvette story. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the direction of Bill Mitchell, the Sting Ray introduced an entirely new level of sophistication to America's sports car, with a sleek fastback coupe and an open convertible body offered alongside it. Among collectors, 1967 stands as the final and most refined year of the C2 generation, the last chance to buy a Sting Ray before the Corvette moved on to the C3 body style in 1968, and the only year the full range of big-block 427 engines was available in a single, cleaned-up body.
This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a highly desirable C2 Sting Ray, powered by a 427 cubic inch big-block V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in Marlboro Maroon over a black interior, this Corvette presents as a striking and purposeful example of the last and most sought-after model year of the second generation. The car is completely original and shows just 26,000 original miles, a rare combination for a big-block C2 that has clearly been cared for and preserved rather than modified or restored. VIN 194677S109318.
The 1967 model year stands apart as the last and, to many collectors, the best of the C2 Sting Rays. It was the only year to carry the cleaner, five-vent front fender styling in place of the earlier three-vent design, and the only year buyers could order the full spread of factory 427 big-block options, from the L36 up through the race-bred L88, in the Sting Ray body before the Corvette was redesigned for 1968. That combination of refined styling, big-block power, and status as the final C2 has made 1967 convertibles among the most actively collected Corvettes of any model year.
Marlboro Maroon is a striking and comparatively rare factory color for the C2, and a big-block 427 convertible finished in this color with an original, unmodified drivetrain and documented low mileage is seldom offered. Corvette collectors and C2 enthusiasts will find it difficult to source another example in this condition, color, and configuration.
This car's originality is backed by real documentation, not just a seller's word. It carries a Top Flight Award from the National Corvette Restorers Society, presented for excellence in the restoration and preservation of this exact VIN at the Chestnut Mt., Illinois "Shutdown" regional meet on August 11, 2007. It is also Gold Certified by the National Corvette Certification Board through Bloomington Gold, judged to fall within 95 to 100 percent of typical factory production, with a total value loss of just 205 points, a result reserved for genuinely correct, unaltered cars. The certification worksheets confirm the casting numbers, pad date codes, and VIN stamping all check out against the factory build date
