Chevrolet’s Corvette is one of those cars that has touched the hearts of millions. It’s been an eternal poster car hanging in children’s bedrooms as they grew up and aspired to own one. The iconic C2 second-generation Corvette is the one that brought the Stingray tag, the pop-up headlamps, the quad rear lamps, and a few other things such as the 1963-only split screen rear window. In fact, even President Joe Biden owns a C2 Corvette that he’s not allowed to drive right now; one of the few downsides to being President of the United States being that driving is disallowed while you’re occupying the position. If you’d like to know what’s so great about the C2, why not buy this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Tri Power Coupe that we have right now. It’s got the largest engine that came on the C2, and is as original as you can find.

Exterior and Interior

Larry Shinoda was the man responsible for the C2, and he has done a spectacular job. This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Tri Power Coupe is living proof of that, flaunting it all off in a clean white suit, punctuated by lashings of chrome, such as on the iconic side exhaust covers, as well as the front and rear bumpers. It rolls on a set of classically styled wheels wrapped in reportedly new tires sporting a red stripe. All badging is present and correct, as is a black chevron on the hood scoop. The interior sports white seats and a black dash in the famous twin-cowled layout. It looks absolutely pristine in pictures, highlighting that this car has been lovingly looked after. There’s hidden air conditioning which is a fantastic benefit for driving in hotter climates. The original radio is present too, but we doubt you’d be listening to anything other than the engine’s music. An immaculately upholstered luggage storage area lies beneath the broad rear window and behind the two seats. A wood-rimmed steering wheel, and chrome-topped gear knob are the final flourishes.

Engine

This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Tri Power Coupe is powered by its original 427ci (7.0L) Tri-Power V8 engine that sports three Rochester two-barrel carburetors. An odd arrangement indeed, but it worked, kicking out ratings of around 430hp and 465lb-ft when new, although it’s suspected that these ratings were wildly conservative. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox.
