1967 Corvette Sting Ray 427 Roadster by soboy5

1967 Corvette Sting Ray 427 Roadster

Chevrolet continued to refine the C2 Corvette during its 5 model years (1963-1967). The last C2, the 1967 model shown here, was the most refined of them all and many consider it the finest of all the C2 Corvettes. This fully restored 1967 roadster is the most sought after model - 427 cubic inch motor with triple carbs making 435 horsepower.

An interesting observation: as the 1960's evolved into a decade of turmoil and change, some of the Corvette's styling details also evolved with the time.

Here are two examples. First, note the whimsical, contemporary style of the cursive lettering on the Corvette's nameplate in the lower left hand corner of the collage. Now compare it with the more formal style of cursive writing on the 1963 Corvette:

Second, note the body colored, contemporary fuel fuller in the upper right hand corner of the collage. Now compare that to the original, more ornate fuel filler on the 1963 model: http://365project.org/soboy5/365/2014-08-23

These changes (along with many other styling and performance enhancements) kept the Corvette up to date throughout the mid 1960's.
A super series of shots and information. Fav

The colours are wonderful. Just a classic design - although I think hard work to look after I bet.

Wow, gorgeous collage of super shots. My Ford Focus has alloy wheels similar to those and they are so hard to clean.
