A second-generation Corvette is the ideal classic for those who want to see if old-school cars are their thing. Sleek, well-built and powerful, the C2 ran between 1963 and 1967. It’s considered one of the most desirable generations, and will steal the show at any car meet. If that sounds interesting, check out this particular 1967 Chevrolet Corvette that’s up for sale with us right now, bearing 57,164 miles to its name. The car has a massive V8 under the hood, and comprehensive performance upgrades, making it an absolute pleasure for driving enthusiasts.

Exterior and Interior

Marlboro Maroon is what coats this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette, and it’s a great way to showcase the Larry Shinoda-penned lines that the C2 wowed the world with when it debuted in 1963. The pop-up headlamps on Corvettes were first seen here, and they continued right up until the end of the fifth generation, in 2004. Meanwhile, you’ll also note the wrap-around rear window. Granted, it isn’t the iconic split-screen that only appeared for 1963, but that lovely design resulted in limitations in rearward visibility. No such issues with post-1963 cars, such as this one. Finally, before we head aboard, let’s admire the Center Line chrome wheels that seem to fit so well with this car’s design. The two-seat interior of this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette presents itself in black, with two leather-upholstered seats. The dashboard is of the iconic twin-cowled design that came with the C2, and is aimed at evoking memories of fighter jets – remember that the '50s and '60s are widely considered to be the Jet Age. Everything looks in great order for a car of this age, even the quirky vertically-oriented radio, which sets the C2 apart from other generations. We also spy a fire extinguisher mounted in the passenger footwell, which is always useful when hanging around classic cars. No, your car might not catch fire, but if someone else does, you can always help them out. Meanwhile, there’s a Grant G/T sport steering wheel, and a white ball-tipped gear shifter for that quintessential sports car feel.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette lurks a 468ci V8, we’re told. This is larger than any stock motor that came on the C2 from the factory, those topped out at 427ci. Furthermore, a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission powers the rear wheels via a 3.70 rear end. Then, we’ve got a Holley Red fuel pump, Hooker headers, a Unilite Comp 9000 distributor, and a Mallory Hyfire IV #692 ignition system. There’s also a Griffin radiator and a replaced alternator. Moving on, we’re informed that the front suspension has been upgraded to a stiffer 1 1/8th inch diameter, and the springs are upgraded to stiffer units too. The rear suspension remains stock, with the original rear sway bar.
