I sold a 66 stingray with the knock off wheels for a customer of mine last year... truly a stunning vehicle

Well aware...thanks. If it was an original big block car...putting a 502 in it would seem silly.

I would roll this. Super hot.

That's beautiful , I saw this 65 when I was on honeymoon in Capetown South Africa, but not as nice as yours I really do like them ...

'67s came with 327s (300 or 350hp) or 427s (390, 400, 430* or 435hp). They never came with 350s or 396s.

The 425hp 396 was offered for just one year, 1965. The 350 wasn't offered in a Corvette until 1969.

*The '67 L88 engine actually produced more than 500hp. The "430hp" rating was part of Chevrolet's attempt to keep the L88 off the street and on the track. After all who would pay the enormous option cost of the L88 to get "5 less horsepower" than the much cheaper 435hp Tri-Power 427? Nobody. As a result, there were only 20 L88s built for '67.

Oh.. and from 1963 through 1967 the name was two words; Sting Ray.

The name disappeared from the car for 1968, returning as one word in 1969; Stingray.

Beautiful!
