While the C2 had only come into existence a few years prior, 1967 would mark the end for the C2 Corvette Sting Ray. Aside from changing the rear window after the first year, the body changes we relatively small. The typical changes were made to the grilles, lights, wheels, and rocker panels but the car stayed relatively similar; this may have contributed to its now iconic shape.
The 427 cubic inch motors of the time typically came equipped with three Holley two-barrel carburetors, which the factory dubbed Tri-Power. These engines were certainly no slouch, but the L-88 was the real beast of the era. It was essentially the closest thing to a race motor that Chevy had ever released to the public.
The L-88 featured: lightweight heads with huge ports, an very aggressive camshaft, an aluminum radiator, small-diameter flywheel, and a giant Holley four-barrel carburetor. The engine design produced a compression ratio of 12.5:1, which required an fuel octane rating of 103, available at select filling stations. The factory claimed that the motor produced 430 hp at 4,600 rpm. In reality, this motor produced about 560 hp at 6,400 rpm… a bit more of a handful than expected.
The motor and accompanying chassis options were quite impressive but the additional $1,500 over base deterred most buyers. In fact only 20 1967 L-88s were sold that year.
