The second-generation Corvette underwent a stylistic evolution, with earlier models showcasing ornate details and trim. By 1967, the design had matured into a more refined and streamlined aesthetic. This final-year model replaced prior excesses with sophisticated elements such as five smaller front-fender vents and a bold new hood design for big-block variants.
The 1967 Corvette is now revered as the most collectible of its generation, prized by enthusiasts for its timeless style and diverse powertrain options ranging from mild to extreme. A total of 22,940 units were produced, including 14,436 convertibles. Of these, only 3,754 featured the top-tier RPO L71 427/435 Tri-Power engine, including this meticulously restored example listed on Bring A Trailer.
This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was originally delivered to Dale Chevrolet in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Finished in Goodwood Green, it is powered by a 427ci L71 V8 engine rated at 435 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, featuring triple two-barrel carburetors and side-exit exhausts. A comprehensive 2017 restoration by Houston Corvette Service in Texas included a factory-correct repaint, drivetrain overhaul, chassis refinishing, and interior reupholstering.
