A beautifully refreshed 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible equipped with the desirable L71 427/435 big-block and a four-speed manual gearbox is currently listed for sale on Bring a Trailer, with bidding open at no reserve. Finished in Marlboro Maroon over black leather, this C2 Sting Ray pairs classic mid-year style with genuine factory muscle, and the clock is ticking for anyone hoping to add it to their garage.
According to the listing, the body was removed from the frame during a 2020 refurbishment that included fresh paint, re-plated chrome bumperettes, and new weatherstripping. The result is a Corvette that wears its stinger hood stripe, retractable headlights, and split chrome bumpers with real presence, while 15-inch Rally wheels wrapped in period-style BFGoodrich redline tires keep the stance authentic to 1967.
Motivation comes from the numbers-matching-spec 427ci L71 V8, a factory triple-carbureted big-block rated at 435 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, routed through a four-speed manual and out through a side-exit exhaust system. The auction listing notes that the carburetors were rebuilt in 2019, and the five-digit odometer shows just 39,000 miles, with only 1,500 added under the current caretaker since 2018.
Inside, black leather bucket seats and color-matched door panels surround a three-spoke wheel, a 160-mph speedometer, and a 6,500-rpm tachometer, while a Vintage Air conditioning system added in 2024 makes this Sting Ray far more livable on warm-weather cruises. The photos in the ad show a cabin that presents as crisp as the exterior, right down to the clear vinyl floor mats and vertical push-button AM/FM radio.
Recent mechanical attention backs up the car’s good looks: the seller’s page details a 2019 steering box rebuild, 2024 front springs and rear brake calipers, and a 2025 round of Bilstein shocks, brake pads, suspension bushings, and a new rear transverse leaf spring. Riding on its fully independent suspension with power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, this Corvette should be as satisfying to drive as it is to look at.
With a clean Texas title, service records, and its original tank sticker included, this no-reserve Bring a Trailer auction is shaping up to be an interesting one to watch. Bidding is active now, and anyone drawn to big-block C2 convertibles would do well to look closely before the gavel falls.
