Few American sports cars carry the presence of a final-year C2 Corvette, and this 427-powered 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe currently up for auction on Hagerty Marketplace adds big-block muscle, a four-speed manual, and one of the most coveted colors of the era to that already potent formula. Best of all, it's being offered with no reserve, meaning the final bid takes it home when the clock runs out on Wednesday, September 30, at 4:25 p.m. EDT.
At the time of writing, bidding sits at $38,000 after 25 bids, with more than 9,000 views and five days left on the clock. For a big-block-equipped Sting Ray finished in a 1967-only color, that's a number that won't hang around for long.
The Last And Best Of The C2 Era
The 1967 model year was the swan song for the second-generation Corvette, and many enthusiasts consider it the most refined of the bunch. Chevrolet cleaned up the styling with less side trim, five functional fender louvers, and the signature "stinger" hood scoop, creating a design that still stops traffic almost six decades later. If you've been following our coverage of earlier Sting Rays, like this rare L84 fuel-injected 1965 Corvette convertible, you know how quickly the market has embraced these mid-'60s machines.
This coupe wears Goodwood Green Metallic (paint code 983), a one-year-only hue named for England's legendary Goodwood Circuit. It's paired here with a contrasting white stinger and a matching Green vinyl interior (trim code 430), a combination that looks every bit as sophisticated today as it did in 1967.
427 Big-Block Muscle With Three Deuces
Under that power-bulge hood sits a 427ci big-block V8 wearing a triple-carburetor setup, sending power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip rear axle. The seller is upfront that the car was not born a big-block car; it was modified into its current configuration. For many buyers, that's the appeal: all the sound, torque, and attitude of the legendary 427 tri-power experience without the numbers-matching price tag that comes with a documented factory L71.
The 427 wasn't simply dropped in and forgotten, either. In December 2022, Stephen Becker Automotive Group of Sugar Hill, Georgia, performed an engine overhaul that included a new camshaft and hardened pushrods, along with a clutch replacement. Documentation of that engine work is included with the listing. When asked in the comments about overheating, the seller noted the car runs as warm as any 1967 Corvette with its original cooling system, and that normal driving shouldn't be a concern.
Well-Equipped For Real Driving
Beyond the powertrain, this Corvette is loaded with the kind of factory equipment that makes a C2 a genuine pleasure to drive. The spec sheet includes:
- Transistorized ignition system
- Positraction limited-slip rear axle
- Power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes
- Telescoping steering column
- Signature power-bulge "stinger" hood
Four-wheel discs were a big deal in the 1960s, and they remain one of the reasons C2s are such confident drivers today. The odometer shows 69,600 miles, noted as true mileage unknown, which is common for cars of this vintage. When a bidder asked about the condition of the birdcage, the seller replied that no one has ever noted flaws with it. The gallery of 73 photos, plus walkaround video, gives prospective buyers a detailed look at the car.
A Smart Buy From A Respected Collection
This Sting Ray is offered from the Bobbin' For Cars Collection and is represented by a Broad Arrow Auctions specialist in Sugar Hill, Georgia. Broad Arrow is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hagerty, so the transaction, including payment, taxes, and title reassignment, is facilitated in-house. The car comes with a clean New Hampshire title in the current owner's name.
For fans of modified classics, it pairs nicely with builds like this restomod 1964 Corvette Sting Ray with LS3 power, but this '67 keeps things period-correct in spirit with carbureted big-block thunder and a stick shift.
A 1967 Corvette coupe in Goodwood Green, a 427 with three carbs, a four-speed, and no reserve is a recipe for one of the more exciting C2 auctions we've seen this fall. If you've been waiting for your shot at a big-block Sting Ray without paying top-tier numbers-matching money, this could be it. Check out the full listing on Hagerty Marketplace before bidding closes.
