Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about this car.

Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this absolutely stunning 1967 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe with the high performance L36 427ci/390hp big block engine, M21 close ratio 4-Speed transmission, side pipes, power brakes, and redline tires. The car is finished in the gorgeous and highly desirable color combination of Sunfire Yellow over Black Vinyl.

There are close-up photos in this ad of the VIN stamp on the engine block, engine assembly date, engine block casting date, VIN tag, trim tag, VIN stamp on the transmission main case, transmission assembly date, transmission main case casting number, transmission tail housing casting number, transmission side cover casting number, intake casting number, intake casting date, carburetor part number, carburetor list number, and carburetor date code for any potential buyer or professional to analyze.

There is a copy of a tank sticker pictured in this ad that the previous owner said goes to this car. It is hard to read, but the code “L36” for the 427ci/390hp engine is legible as well as “M21” for the close ratio transmission and Sunfire Yellow for the color. The tank sticker also shows tinted windshield “A02,” headrests “A82,” power brakes “J50,” and AM/FM radio “U69,” all of which this car has. The NCRS shipping data report is also included with the car as well as the owner's manual. The trim tag on the car shows a paint code of 994, we have not seen any reference to that paint code in any of our reference books. The previous owner said that he just had a fresh engine installed in the car this year. The engine is completely stock in appearance and he sourced all correct parts and accessories for the engine with correct part numbers and date codes for the build date of this Sting Ray. This includes a correct engine casting number on the block, engine casting date, intake, distributor, alternator, starter, and carburetor. The engine builder restamped the block with the last six digits of the VIN and an appropriate engine build date and correct suffix code.

This Corvette looks utterly stunning, runs terrifically, and is an absolutely thrilling driver with the 427 cubic inch big block engine that is ready to be enjoyed. 1967 is considered to be the best year for the Corvette and this 427ci 390hp is an ultimate example of that model year. The market on C2 Corvettes is hot right now and on the rise, especially for premium and rare cars like this one; one could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come. Please peruse all of the photos, video, numbers, and other information below to get a true sense of how exceptional this Corvette really is.

As a side note, this Sting Ray is not a dealer auction vehicle. Our Corvettes come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Corvette, just give us a call.

Exterior

The Sunfire Yellow exterior is in beautiful condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has dazzling gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish. The “bolt on” wheels are in excellent condition with a brilliant finish and no curb rash. The BF Goodrich Silverstone radial redline tires are from 2024 and have been used very sparingly. The redlines are an excellent complement to the look of this Sting Ray. These tires offer the best of both worlds with the vintage look of the redlines, but the modern performance and handling of a radial. The chrome and other brightwork is in excellent condition with a bright finish and no cloudiness, scratches, or pitting. The original front bumpers were just replaced and the original bumpers are included with the car. There are no major imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from the photo. There are a few nicks and hairline cracks, but nothing that is noticeable from about five feet away. This Corvette has no rust issues. As one can see in the many photos of the underside of the car, this Corvette is totally solid and is clean underneath.

Window Date Codes

Please note that all of the glass on this Corvette is date coded and original as each piece, windshield, side windows, rear window, and even both vent windows predate the car's body build date of third week of April 23, 1967 (H23). Original glass is a good indication that this car has had no major accident history and never sustained significant damage.

Interior

The Black interior in this Sting Ray is in absolutely outstanding condition. The seats are in excellent shape with no split seams, rips, or excessive wear. The seat is not worn in the typical area where the driver gets in and out. The carpet is also in great condition with no stains, tears, or holes. This includes the rear carpet, which is often neglected. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are clear. The door panels are in terrific shape; there are no cracks in the typical spot where the driver's elbow sits. The door pulls are solid and intact. The dash and console look great with no cracks or sun fading. The original radio works. Most importantly the dash has never been cut or modified for an aftermarket installation. Please note that both seat belts work and retract properly. This is a common problem on C3 Corvettes and an issue many buyers do not think to check. The jack and jack handle are still with the car. The spare is also still present. This Corvette has never been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of cigarettes at all.

Mechanical

This Corvette seems to be in great mechanical condition. As stated above the L36 engine was just built. This car is pure excitement out on the road. Please view the video to hear one of the best exhaust notes in the classic car industry, a big block Corvette engine with sidepipes. The car starts right away every time, runs well, and idles well. The car drives terrifically on the road and highway. In the video one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there are no strange noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. The clutch feels good, the transmission is very tight, and does not pop out of gear. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The engine runs cool and does not overheat. The gauge shows the engine makes great oil pressure. This Corvette has plenty of power and is exceptionally fast with the 427ci engine. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos. The correct air cleaner, valve covers, ignition shielding, and braded ignition wires are still in place. The horn works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights, and wipers. The headlights go up and down properly, which is a very common problem on second generation Corvette. The complete headlight operation can be viewed in the video. The blower for heater does not work. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the 4-Speed, the extra power from the L36, the sound of the sidepipes, and the top down out on a beautiful day.

Overall Condition

Overall, this 1967 427c 390hp big block Corvette convertible is in marvelous condition. As stated above, there are photos in this ad of the VIN tag, trim tag, VIN stamp on the engine block, engine assembly date, VIN stamp on the transmission main case, transmission assembly date, transmission main case casting number, transmission tail housing casting number, transmission side cover casting number, intake casting number, and the carburetor part number and date code for any potential buyer or professional to analyze. We cannot verify the authenticity or originally of these numbers or stampings, we are simply relaying what is on the car. We are not claiming the car has 10,763 original miles so we will be selling it as nonactual mileage. This is truly an investment grade classic car. The value and market on second generation or "mid-year" Corvettes has always been solid, and they are wise investments for a collector. This is especially true for rare and highly desirable models like this L36 big block. The excellent condition, the fresh big block engine, the wonderful condition, and the beautiful color combination make this car especially important and difficult to duplicate. This Corvette always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is very apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort

Other sellers are not taking the time to show the car is in such great detail to give you all of the numbers, options, photos, and video. As stated above, numbers matching is extremely important in Corvette pricing, especially for an exceptional example like this car, and will become even more important as time passes and this car becomes older and even more rare. This information is very valuable and important for pricing. Any perspective buyer, for any of our vehicles or from other sellers, should ask for all the numbers and information before he or she makes a purchase.
