An exceptionally preserved 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray—powered by its original 427-cubic-inch, 435-horsepower L71 engine—is slated to cross the auction block in November 2025. Described as an unrestored survivor, this Sunfire Yellow coupe represents one of the most original examples of Chevrolet’s most celebrated Corvette generation.
The car, showing only 9,812 documented miles, remains virtually untouched since leaving Pape Chevrolet in South Huntington, New York, where it was purchased new in January 1968. It spent its entire life on Long Island, venturing off only occasionally when its original owner took it to local dragstrips, including National Speedway, Islip Speedway, and Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Original racetrack decals from those outings still adorn the rear glass.
Under the hood sits the matching-numbers 427/435-horsepower tri-power V8, paired with a factory M21 close-ratio four-speed transmission and a 3.70 Positraction rear axle. Every major component—from the alternator to the carburetors, radiator, and headlight motors—remains factory original. The coupe also retains its original T-3 headlights, glass, and even a visible tank sticker confirming its authenticity.
Finished in factory-correct Sunfire Yellow with a black interior, the car is equipped with power windows, vacuum-assisted power brakes, an AM-FM radio, a telescopic steering wheel, and the transistor ignition system. It recently earned a Bloomington Gold Survivor Award in July 2025, further cementing its authenticity.
This two-owner Corvette includes extensive original documentation—window sticker, warranty papers, invoices, and registration records—along with personal artifacts such as the original owner’s racing helmet and early dragstrip passes.
As a verified survivor from the height of the muscle car era, this unrestored L71 coupe offers an extraordinary opportunity for collectors seeking a genuine, time-capsule example of Chevrolet’s 1967 performance legend. See it here.
