The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray was the last mid-year (C2) model. It is also the cleanest with most of the trim removed including the badging on the hood and the flags on the fenders. New five-slot functional vents on the side fenders and a fixed 31" radio antenna were also new. The parking brake is now located between the seats, the first time for a Corvette. Pre-1967 parking brake lever was located under the dashboard. The passenger hand-hold above the glove compartment was removed this year. The knock-off wheel option was modified to use five lug nuts to hold the wheel on, a result of new safety regulations.
A snap-on center cap was used to hide the lug nuts. The seats were re-designed again for more comfort and safety. Corvettes with the 427cid engine have a large air scoop over the center bulge replacing the "power-blister" of 1966 although many 350cid engine owners added this hood. A blue " GM Mark of Excellence" sticker was placed over the latch on the back of each of the doors as a result of a GM quality awareness program.
Red stripe tires were introduced and replaced the 1966 gold stripe tires as an option.
The 1967 Stingray has dual taillights instead of the previous single taillight. The back-up lights are now mounted above the license plate. All 1965-1967 396/427 rocker arm covers were painted orange except for the 16 L89 optioned engines in 1967. The 1967 327 was the last year for finned rocker arm covers with Corvette script.
The same flawed finned rocker arm cover that plagued the 1966 model
year is found in mid 1967s as well. Many owners have original engines
with one of each, flawed and non-flawed.
Around VIN sequence 121xxx, the rocker arm cover flaw was 'fixed.'
Engine specifications vary from publication to publication. Shown here are suffix codes, hp ratings, etc. from GM's own 1967 Corvette documentation.

* Images may be representations of the option >> The 327-cid, 250-hp engine, 3-speed manual transmission, vinyl interior, and a soft top (convertible) were included in the base price. >> The 6,880 C07 quantity included 895 in lieu of soft tops at no extra cost. >> The 3,788C60 quantity was split 2,235 coupe and 1,5532 convertible >> The 2,324 M35 quantity was split 1,725 with 300-hp, 392 with 390-hp., and 207 with 400-hp. (1) Since the Powerglide was not an option with the 327/350 or 427/430-435 engines, their total was deducted from total Corvette sales numbers leaving only 16,529 Corvettes the Powerglide was available with. (2) Three different sources show three different sales figures; 5,933 (Tail fins & bowties); 2,101 (corvsport.com); 3,832 (vettefacts.com). Different costs are also shown; $305.50 (corvsport.com) and $200.15 (vettefacts.com) (3) Two different online websites show different costs; $437.10 (corvsport.com) and $305.50 (vettefacts.com) (4) Rumor has it that Zora Arkus-Duntov was once asked why the 435-hp engine was rated as such. His reported rely, "It sounded good." Aside from the 3x2 intake the L71 was identical to the 1966 L72 rated at 450hp which was later lowered to 425hp. > Tachometer redline→ |
