1967 Chevrolet Corvette L71 Convertible

Featuring excellent colors and sporting Chevrolet’s top RPO (Regular Production Option) L71 427 cubic-inch big-block V8 engine developing 435 factory-underrated horsepower, this handsomely presented and extremely potent 1967 Chevrolet Corvette is a compelling find on all possible levels.

Finished in visually arresting Marlboro Maroon paint, this highly equipped performer is accented by a black hood “Stinger” stripe, a 1967-only visual cue from the factory, plus gleaming slim chrome bumpers. The Corvette also features a side-exit exhaust system and a striking set of cast-aluminum bolt-on wheels that made their debut as a new Corvette option (N89) for 1967, mounting period style Redline tires.

Featuring Saddle upholstery with Tan carpeting, the driver-centric Corvette interior remains in exemplary condition. Desirable features and options include a handsome three-spoke steering wheel, a full complement of useful instruments, an AM/FM radio, dash clock, optional headrests, and a console-mounted OEM shift lever.

Powertrains are all-important in the classic Corvette world, and this example’s two-part engine pad serial number stamp “T0328JE 7120760” indicates that this engine was built at Chevrolet’s famed Tonawanda, NY plant on March 28th, with the last two characters “JE” signifying the engine specification as a 427 cu-in / 435-hp V8 with 11.0:1 compression ratio, and three two-barrel Holley carburetors. The second group of numbers indicates 1967 production followed by the sequential body production number “120760,” which matches the Corvette’s aluminum serial number tag located underneath the glove box. The L71 engine, with block casting number “3904351,” is mated to a Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission.

According to its body tag, this 1967 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible’s body was produced June 9, 1967, at Chevrolet’s St. Louis, Missouri Corvette plant. Painted optional Marlboro Maroon and fitted with Saddle upholstery, the Corvette’s “120760” production number on the chassis tag aligns properly with known monthly GM production data.

Records dating back to 2001 document a prior owner and work completed on the car before the consignor’s ownership. Since being acquired as part of the noted Fleischman Collection, the Consignor has ensured the Corvette has been maintained in fine order. In 2019, it visited Fast Cars Ltd. of Redondo Beach, California for fluid-leak repairs, including installation of a new fuel hard line, plus an oil change. Later in 2019, all three Holley 2300 2-barrel carburetors - essential to the awesome, tire-smoking performance of the L71 mill - received a “Stage One Build” by the specialists at The Carb Shop in Ontario, California. In addition to the aforementioned service records from 2001 forward, this Corvette legend is accompanied by an owner’s manual and radio tag.

Featuring the top available powertrain for 1967, second only to the exclusively competition L88 427, this handsome 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible benefits from regular maintenance and comes with a solid history file. Capable of explosive performance with only a tap of the throttle pedal from its legendary 427/4-speed powertrain, this 1967 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible is the definition of the classic 1960s American sports car.
