Corvettes for Sale: 427-Powered 1967 Corvette Coupe Offered on eBay


The owner of this 1967 Corvette with a 427 engine that’s been updated doesn’t mince words about what he’s selling on eBay.

“THIS IS A LOUD BEAST,” he declares, warning that the Sting Ray coupe, with its manual steering and brakes, isn’t “for the weak or faint hearted.”

That should tell prospective buyers just about everything they need to know about this black beauty being auctioned out of Ventura, California.

With bidding scheduled to end Monday afternoon, the high offer had reached $56,211, but the seller’s reserve had not been met. A Buy It Now price of $85,000 is also listed.

And while this Corvette has undergone several mechanical upgrades, the seller insists it’s “more of a survivor than a restored vehicle.”

There’s plenty to like about its pedigree.

For starters, it’s a genuine 1967 L71 Corvette, originally equipped with Chevrolet’s legendary 427 Tri-Power V8, rated at 435 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.

The numbers-matching engine remains, along with a four-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear axle.

But don’t expect to find three traditional carburetors beneath the hood.

The seller has replaced the original induction system with FiTech Tri-Power fuel injection and installed a modern roller camshaft, heavy-duty pushrods, roller rockers, aluminum radiator and high-flow water pump.

Fortunately for purists, the original carburetors and other removed components are included in the sale.

The braking system has also received considerable attention, including new pads, drilled and slotted rotors, rebuilt calipers, brake hoses and master cylinder.

Visually, the Corvette retains much of its old-school personality.

Its factory Tuxedo Black finish represents the rarest Corvette color offered in 1967, with just 815 examples produced. The repaint shows its age, the seller admits, and “looks great from 20 feet away!” and he adds that it cleans up nicely.

A contrasting red hood stripe, side exhaust pipes and period-correct American Racing wheels complete the aggressive appearance.

Inside, the black vinyl upholstery appears well-preserved, with a factory AM/FM radio among the original equipment.

The seller also provides the original tank sticker to help document the car’s factory configuration.

Still, prospective buyers would be wise to arrange a thorough inspection, particularly given questions raised by online commenters about the car’s originality and previous sales history.

For the right enthusiast, however, this Corvette offers an intriguing combination of survivor character, modern mechanical improvements and raw big-block performance.

And judging from the owner’s warning, anyone expecting a quiet Sunday cruiser might want to look elsewhere.

This Sting Ray apparently prefers to announce its arrival.
