subject: Precisely What You Need To Know About The 1967 Corvette [print this page] The 1967 Corvette is regarded by many to be the best Corvette in its history. This 1967 model year was a second-generation member of the Chevrolet Corvettes. By it being called the Sting Ray, just about the most common mistakes that folks make is confusing it with the C3 or third-generation Corvette Stingray that happened to run from 1968 to 1982. It is definitely different. Second generation Corvettes offer an aura about them that any time you experience it, you will never forget it.
A few of the modifications that occurred from 1966 to the 1967 model year were fairly minor things like flat finish rockers sans ribbing, factory six inch rally wheels with very small chromed out beauty hubcaps, a brand new single backup light positioned above the license plate, and the handbrake was also relocated from under the dashboard to between the car seats. The powertrain in reality changed hardly any from a year earlier.
Its front suspension had independent upper or lower A arms, anti-roll bar, tubular hydraulic shock absorbers, and cool springs. The rear suspension featured fixed differential, radius rods, tubular hydraulic shock absorbers, lateral struts, in an extra antiroll bar came with 1967s that had a big block engine.
The factory color options of the 1967 Corvette included Ermine White, Marina blue, Sun fire yellow, Rally red, Goodwood green, Silver Pearl, Lynndale blue, Marboro maroon, Elkhart blue, and Tuxedo Black.
The L88 had several options that were mandatory by Chevrolet include transistorized ignition, positrain, power brakes, and a heavy-duty suspension system. You might not believe this, but only 20 of these cars were sold new in 1967. You have to consider that those people were the ones that love power. Heck, they were only $1500 over the base price, but now they are extremely expensive and rare cars on today's market.
The year of 1967 was the year in which Corvette's sales drop by 5000 units, due to a new redesign that was coming out. However, the 67 Corvette is considered one of the quintessential collector cars of all time. Its impact on the car collecting world has been tremendous.
