By 1967, the big-block Corvette continued its reign as the king of the road. Brutally fast, with nimble handling and stopping power to match from its four-wheel disc brakes, the Corvette truly earned the title “America’s Sports Car.” It was expensive, but the Corvette was the car for buyers who wanted speed; and for the all-out performance addict, there was the thundering Mark IV 427-cubic inch V-8, in several levels of tune.

In his book Corvettes 1953–1988: A Collector’s Guide, Richard Langworth wrote, “The 1967 Stingray is arguably one of the best Corvettes ever built. All the styling clichés had been eliminated…four-wheel disc brakes allowed it to stop as well as go.” Randy Leffingwell also wrote in his book, Corvette – America’s Sports Car, that in 1967, the Corvette “was the best Stingray yet…and all the appearance bells and whistles, trim, and shimmer was removed from the car, making it the purest form that the Stingray body ever achieved. Coupled with the possibility of astounding performance from a $437.10 optional 435-horsepower engine, with standard four-wheel disc brakes and new, wider six-inch wheels, it was the best of the best.”

This Silver Pearl with red interior example runs with this extraordinary 435-hp powerplant that has three two-barrel carbs and is connected to a four-speed manual transmission. The drivetrain is reported as correct for the car. It is further equipped with bolt-on cast aluminum wheels, redline tires, factory side pipes, Vintage-brand air conditioning; power windows and brakes.
