The 1967 Corvette C2 Stingray was the last Corvette of the second generation, and five years of refinements made it the best of the line. The 427/435HP L71 StingRay would be the high-water mark of Corvette performance and refinement for the C2 series of cars. Changes were modest with five smaller front fender vents replacing the three larger ones and the flat-finish rockers conferred a lower profile. New was a single backup light mounted above the license plate and the previous models' wheel covers were exchanged for the new design. Interior alterations included revised upholstery and the handbrake moved from beneath the dash to between the seats. The 427/435hp came standard from the factory with the Holley triple two-barrel carburetor arrangement called Tri-Power. The rare L71 engine package cost the original buyer an extra $437.10 on the GM order form.
This spectacular 427/435hp roadster is finished in its original color of Marlboro Maroon with contrasting black convertible top, black interior and black “stinger”. It is the beneficiary of a comprehensive, true no-expense-spared, body-off nut and bolt restoration by a very respected marque specialist who has restored some of the rarest, most expensive Corvettes in the world. Amazingly, this special example retains its CCAS Validated matching-numbers engine, as well as its numbers matching transmission which is a truly very difficult find. Furthering its authenticity is the original tank sticker that has been validated by NCRS, verifying factory options including dual side-exhaust pipes, power-assisted brakes, tinted windshield and teak steering wheel, along with the vaunted factory ordered L71 427/435 hp tri-power engine.
This Corvette was treated to an immaculate award-winning restoration, and upon close inspection, it quickly becomes apparent that the work was done in an extremely professional manner with outstanding attention to detail everywhere, utilizing the correct materials and colors throughout. The body was taken down to bare fiberglass and fully restored. The chassis and all suspension components have been restored to their as new condition. It rides on period-correct redline bias ply tires fitted to the aforementioned classic Corvette Rally Wheels. Under Close inspection you will find the original chassis and factory markings are in their place, in addition to factory inspection stickers.
Attesting to its sensational restoration quality and remarkable authenticity, this magnificent Corvette is the recipient of an NCRS Top Flight Award, Bloomington Gold Certification, Gold Spinner Award thus earning itself the vaunted “Triple Crown Award”. Upon close inspection, the astute collector will recognize that this is a very rare opportunity to acquire a worthy addition to any premium Corvette or muscle car collection, as the car can truly be represented as one of the finest Stingrays extant.

If you could have your perfect Corvette, what would it be? Let us know below!
67 corvette convertible with ac, pw, got to have side pipes, silver,black or blue big block preferably just like your last one u guys had .
'69 roadster with a 400hp tri-power. Beautiful body design, a very cool engine with that tri-power, yet drivable and easy to maintain. Not all that rare so it would not sit in the garage and never see use.
1966 /67 convertible, no side pipes, small block 350 hp solid lifters car. Better handling, sweet sounding and not the top heavy 427 dog for bragging rights!
63 for sure!
That’s it lol. Goodwood green with saddle is nice or black with red interior
The 67 is arguably the best looking car ever made. Nice video.
Thanks George, we tend to agree
Terrific video, That 67 Corvette is one beautiful car.
This is hands-down my favorite generation of the Corvette - even though it was out of production by the time I was born.
My all time favourite car, got a ride in one when I was 11, it was new and belonged to my uncle. You could line up every new super car and I would still take this Vette it ticks off all the boxes.
Really appreciate the format of your uploads Gary. Not just specs and glamour shots of the cars, you actually learn something new. Greatly enjoyed DCG with you and your Dad. As a fellow Canadian love the Legendary Motorcars success story... keep on creating great content!
We appreciate the support Zak, we'll keep at it!
67 is the Greatest. Thank goodness I bought mine when I did. I've owned for 31 years.
When I was in college (mid to late 70's), there was a "Used Car lot" about a block away from the college campus I went to, ... and they always seemed to have quite a few 67's. They were "dirt cheap" then, ... would have been the time to buy one of those then! If I remember, around 7K at the time for most of them.
Crazy to think these were just old cars at one point
A guy here in Moncton has a 1967 corvette convertible 427 tri-power 4 speed side pipe car with 6200 miles. The car is absolutely 100 percent original . Never restored. When I say 100 percent original I mean everything is original.
Same colour with black interior. He has probably the best corvette collection in Canada.
Gary Klutt. The 67 is like it just left the factory. He’s got a 63. He’s got a 62. He’s got two 1993 ZR1 with almost no mileage. He got a 2008 Z06 special corvette with 1.8 kms. He’s got probably the best and very rare corvettes in Canada
Wow! would love to see those cars !
Great video!!! This '67 Corvette roadster is hands down one of the finest Corvettes ever. Thanks for sharing another exciting video!! 👍👍😄
Beautiful car ! I missed out on the 67 (400hp)silver one last month or so 🙁waiting for the next silver one . Great job on the video
Awesome vid! My first choice would be a '67 427-cid tri-power/4-spd. coupe w/factory side pipes in Marina Blue. My second choice would be a '69 427-cid L88/4-spd. coupe w/factory side pipes in LeMans Blue. I remember watching your dad road-test cars like these on "Dreamcar Garage" back in the day! 😄👍🇺🇸
Great choices! I'll try and get him to do a few drives this summer for you!
@@legendarymotorcar // Great to hear! I hope he is doing well. As far as favorite Corvettes, who am I kidding. I'd like to have one of each year since 1953 represented in my collection if I was uber-wealthy! 😄👍🇺🇸
@@artvandelay0073 I like your approach
1967 is my Favorite, I’m sure glad I got one 15 years ago. Great video 👍
Right on! not a bad investment that you can drive!
Beautiful car. Tnx for posting because that's likely the only miles the car will see...ever! Understandable given the cars value.
Good video 👍I cannot wait for this lockdown to he over, I want to come see your showroom, im not far away. Also: 1963 corvette split window.
Outstanding example. Favorite Vette - that’s impossible. I even own one and want the rest of each generation. Great video as always, thank you 👍
Awesome! You will always remember that drive you took.
The information was put on micro film and magnified in a special viewer. You have a blown up copy.
Microfilm was on reels and microfiche was a small sheet. I used both 30 years ago as aircraft maintenance manuals were issued like that.
My buddy has a 67 427 coup, factory pipes, BUT, he swapped out stock Muncie linkage for HURST competition plus linkage , and put Bilstein shocks and BF Goodrich TAs ,, WHAT A FREAKING DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING
My buddy’s dad had one of these when I was in high school 30 years ago. It had a 100 shot of nitrous as well. It was insane.
A microfiche was basically a negative image of a document that was reduced in size so you could fit many pages of documents into a single microfiche. A microfiche looked like a film negative but was thicker so it could be handled easier. You would use a projector that uses a light source that beamed the light through the microfiche and would project the image to a screen or viewer. It was really a very cool "analog" way to preserve documents before the digital tech era.
I agree with two caveats: I would never want to own a solid-lifter big-block Corvette. Setting the valves is a pain. The better combination was the 400 hp hydraulic cam version, still 3x2, with the aluminum head option. Having had one of these beasts in my family, my second caveat is this: if you intend, as you should, on driving this car or one like it, know that it is outstandingly unaerodynamic and has significant lift at high speeds, is severely under-tired stock and needs at least 2" wider tires to be driven fast (check your wheel offsets..) and does not countenance unattentive drivers. It will be, for the skilled driver a BLAST to drive, though.
I thought the 400 3x2 was an oval port head engine, basically a 390 version with the 3x2 on an oval port intake and smaller jetted center cab. They made aluminum oval ports? I knew that for a very brief moment,
Chevrolet put an aluminum Qjet intake on the 390 hp version as well.
This one of the top 5 Corvettes ever produced
I have my perfect Corvette: a 2021 C8 Corvette hardtop convertible in shadow gray with adrenaline red and black 3LT interior; Z51 package. Chrome Trident wheels of course. C8 is the best Corvette ever at this point in time. Can’t wait for the Z06.
Congrats, perfect authentic C2 Stingray!
Love the 67, I have a 69, love it too!
67 is beautiful but I like 69 better.
67 marina blue 427 side pipes but I'd go hard top
Great video, love the c2 big block corvettes with those side pipes >> when you drive this baby hold on ... neck brace needed ,,,
This guy knows!
@@legendarymotorcar I own a 67 coupe 327 - with side pipes and they're loud
I drove a yellow one just like this -- tri-power, 427, 4-speed convertible -- used to tune it for the owner. Very sweet, quick -- but the reality is that the build quality lacked a lot.
Gary awesome video!
Thanks for another great video!
our pleasure!
The 67 is the most refined and cleanest of the C2’s.
My dad had a 67, same color, same wheel package. I still have the center carb and the original emblems and most of the paperwork. Just missing the entire car lol
1963 split window with the 327. I like the small block for longer cruises.
certainly not a bad option either!
Semantics.
The tank build sheet states the car was equipped with these options. The tank build sheet does not prove that the engine, wheels, exhaust, etc. on the car now were the ones that the factory installed in 1967.
Beautiful car with desirable options ❤️
My friend Dave had a '67 w/ 3x2 side pipes, etc. We'd go cruising on Friday nights. We quickly learned two girls could also fit on the passenger seat
I worked and have my brother owns a Corvette part business since 1980, we have owned dozens and restored a few dozen mid-year/C2 corvettes 1965/396, 1967/427's Coups & Roadsters and "Everyone" does not prefer sidepipe cars! If you every actually own these cars and drive these cars you will discover in a hurry that after a 1/2-1 hour you want to get out of the darn thing as it will literlly give you a head ache! + Lood at a Corvette from the side and it is much more sleek and better looking-less chunky. + when you get on especially a high horse big block rather that hearing only one half of the engine exhaust beating into to head, you hear the massive engine sound most and then the high revving sound of both exhaust pipes! Not to mention from the back you have much better looking car with both SS exhaust tips coming out of the lower body of the car. At least this car wasn't ruined with repro bolt on wheels like many do. VERY nice original car, I just had to give you my opinion because too many people are ruining orignal cars with noisy side pipes because they think that other people are impressed by them. Only to have a car that they can no longer enjoy for long trips.
Geez, never thought cars would become little more than financial investments. Glad to see you drive them and appreciate them for what they are.
I owned a 1967 427 435 L89 sidepiped Ii.
roadster in marlboro maroon with black stripes black interior and black top.
I honestly believe that those corvettes, I think that original body style was created under the
"working name" or "in factory name" barracuda? Which is Perfect, if accurate.
I think they are The Most Beautiful Automobile EVER Made. Bar none. Ferrari, Lambo's, Maclaren, Jags, Mazzerotti, all beautiful works of performance engineering art. They all fall short. Those 'vettes(to me there is a couple different years and configurations) the leg pipes, the sharp predatory leading edge of the hood, the way that it appears like a twin bumper splits in the center, making some kind of hungry maw, coming for you, the hide away head lights, sometimes moulded hood, sometime drop top, some aviation-fuel devouring, mechanized monster's heart, seething under the hood where other cars have motors...
So so so so so so beautiful.
I owned one back in the day a coupe what a kick in the ass bought pretty cheap
For the record, the Stock linkage on the 1964 on up Corvette's is not tight, its twice as wide as a hurst shifter, or muncie linkage of the ERA. You also have the option of shortening the throw of the linkage or the steering ratio to 16 to 1 on these cars. They came long throw and long steering from factory and you get points take of in NCRS or Bloomington for any mod's even dealer installed options so this might be why many of these restorers don't make these adjustments.
Would like to see the value of one of these bad boys. I have a 65 Corvette coupe 327 /300 HP. Im the third owner it’s original so the value has to be up there too !
She’s definitely a going to town car 🚗 👍☝️✅
My dream car from sure
i liked my 66 convertible more. it had the "mother in law" seat behind the shifter where the 67 had the emergency brake. I once was on a double date with my buddy on the passenger seat. His girl on his lap. My girl next to me on the thin mother in law seat. 4 people in a vette.
I'm sold I'll take one..
Ugh... my favorite color too!.. oh.. my hea
what a beauty...an a beast...🤤
stunning+
Would love to see a L72 vs L71 both optioned the same, race.
Did these come with removable hard top ?
Pops Racer , Speed, Trixie, Sparky for sure would have loved to slip that 67 body on the Mach 5 frame. Heck, Racer x would watch from the shadows. Check the trunk, you know whos inside without a doubt. ( i sure hope LnM likes this ) Its true.
Which GM of Canada division has those microfiche?? I called the Montreal GM division and they told me they have no documents on 1970 vettes! infact they referred me to the corvette historical society!! thanks!
Sweet
Do you need a car like that? YES! Do you want a car like that? YES!!
65 Corvette 396,425 h.p.Eng.Only year a 396 Came in a Corvette.That Same Eng.Was offered in Chevelles for a Few Years.Friend of Mine @My Last Duty Post in ARMY Had One,the Chevelle Version was Labeled a L78.Same Eng.as 65 Vette.Story I heard was That Corvette Club of America insisted to Chevy that the 425 H.p.Rating was Only to be Used on the Corvette,So They Could Claim the Top H.p. Eng.of the Era,So Chevy Claimed Only 375 h.p. on the Chevelle L78.
She just Bruteful!😁
Note at 4:30 the speedo is going 0 mph while driving.
Shot was taken from a standstill at a red light to hold the camera steady.
My All Time Favorite CORVETTE Would Be a 1967 427 CONVERTABLE TRIPLE BLACK TOTALLY LOADED :) :) :)
Agreed. Absolutely my dream car as well. Probably the best looking car I have ever seen, including the XKE. 69 Vettes are great too. 66 Chevelles ate awesome. Much love for GM cars from the mid to late 60's.
My favorite
Beautiful 👍🏻🇺🇸
I had my chance. White roadster, red interior, New black top, 327, 330 hp, 4 speed. $5300. My pop would not let me store it in his garage, so I had to pass.
4:29 - Speedo is not working (to keep the odometer inactive?). I entered high school in '67, and there was no car more desirable to me, at the time. I lived in Detroit then, and did see these 427/435s on the road (along with 427 Cobras). I would be very hesitant to take this one - considering the necessity for its absolute showroom-perfection down to the tiniest detail - on the road before selling it.
That shot of the speedo was taken from a standstill at a red light so I could hold the camera steady. Good eye though
I'm confused. The GM of Canada build info shows A/C but I didn't see any signs of A/C. Is there a mistake on the build info? Seems you couldn't GET A/C with the 427/435 HP engines. And a microfiche for all you young un's was a film that had all the information on a slide type 4x6 (I think) that you loaded into a projector and it had a magnifier built in and showed that page on the screen. You simply slid the pointer around to find the item you were looking for. This was used for parts catalogues with drawings. This was used until the 1980's I believe. So, if you could check on the A/C I would appreciate it. It DOES show the car you have with other options, so it would be interesting to find out. Also I find it interesting they only offered PowerSlide for automatics. I would have thought they would have put TH 400's in (a much better automatic transmission).
67’ The Best 👍🏻🇺🇸
It looks like you have the speedometer disconnected
COMMENT!!!!!!!!!
It’s a super nice car but being a triple crown car why isn’t the speedometer working I saw it on the video that would compromise the accuracy of the miles and a car that expensive you want to have all the accurate information just saying but I still love it when I 16 my dad had a 66 427 425 hp soft top I still remember it so I bought a 2013 grand sport convertible I like alot
Speedometer works, that shot was from a standstill at a red light. Used it because the camera was not steady enough while the car was moving
Cancel my Wish Order for this Week guys! For some reason, the numbers I played on the Mega Millions & Powerball failed to come up? I apologize for the delay, but it shouldn’t be, but another week or two then I’ll be up after wiring the funds, lol!
Love ALL the posts. Oh, I need to correct you, it’s more NEED than WANT, duh, “Take-Off Ya Hoser!”
Or as ‘The Professor’ said it best, “Ice Chucker!” (RIP NP @ RUSH)
Take my C7 and give me that C2 427!
5:05 spinning tires in gravel? Not something you do with a car like this.
I thought the same thing at that moment.
We need Peter back behind the wheel of these animals!
Exactly
Yes sir I want one lol!!!!!
In reality these C2 corvettes drove with the ride quality of a truck. They look nice but lack seriously in suspension and handling.
Am I the only one who noticed the speedometer not working
Time stamp 4:27 ( no pun intended .....a "427" ) ........need to get that speedometer fixed. But honestly, with a '67 Vette THIS original, and sweet........WHO CARES!!!
Speedometer is working, just took a shot from a standstill to get a look at the gauges without shaking too much
Wrap it up. I'll take it !
427
side pipe car is NOT what you want. The noise will give you thumping migraine headaches. Also, the under body exhaust actually produces MORE power than the noisy side exhaust system.
It's not a Corvette it's a 426 hemi belvedere I'm not sure the year
Please stop advertising c2s. RUclips is driving the price up
Haha we can't make any promises
Has nothing to do with u tube it’s supply and demand these cars are only going up in the future.
It’s a birth certificate 😊
The thing is that the baby boomers are getting older and not wanting these anymore... So what will the future value of these be ?
That’s my thought about street rods. Can’t see them being worth as much in 15-20 years when the street rodder guys are all gone.
Corvettes will always be worth good money.
Notice the disabled speedometer during the drive
Speedometer is working and actually wasn't disabled - that shot was just from a standstill at a red light (took the steadiest view I could find). Great eye to catch that though!
Big deal. These dorks brag about the originality of the car. Here is a flash for you. Having a Vette has drive well and is reliability what it is all about. BTW, I had 4 Vettes with side pipe and I really dislike them. The car vibrates and resonate with headache throbbing noise from the pipes. My current 67' big block car has high performance under the car mufflers. No obnoxious noise just driving panacea.
Exceedingly cool. Too bad they don't build (CLASS) anymore. Just rubbish. If I had this, nothing else matters.
👍
C2’s are cool unless you are 6’2” like me. Just doesn’t work.
Yeah always a tough one, C6 and C7 certainly work for tall guys though!
I’m 6’1’ and I have plenty of room in my 64 coup with the seat all the way back. Now my 72 is tight. My son is 6’5’ and he fits in both cars too.
I've owned a bb 67 conv for 35 years now, and I'm 6'2". Luckily my Vette had a telescopic steering column. That gives me just enough room for shifting the 4 speed.
why you wearin a hat!?!
Sorry, but I get so sick of the endless over the top “numbers matching” nonsense.
It’s gotten so endlessly silly.
“Real side pipe car” ? Do you honestly think a car with correct pipes added later has any less experience?
It’s just gotten so goofy…
Oh geez, please don't speak for the rest of the world.
Did dey disconnect da speedo for their pleasure. Hmmm.
