Historical Significance
The 1967 Corvette marked the final year of the C2 "Mid-Year" design - widely regarded as the most desirable generation of classic Corvettes. It represented the peak of Corvette engineering and styling refinement, with cleaner body lines, functional fender vents, and a focus on pure performance.

427 cubic-inch big block V8 (L71)
