Not Quite Barn Finds, Part 2

Found: '67 Sting Ray

Last week I blogged about a pair of Corvettes I'd found and went into detail about the '71 big-block Sting Ray. This week I'll tell you about the '67.


Engine is the base 327 with 300 horsepower

The '67 was a base-engine coupe, painted the uncommon Lynndale blue color. It was just three blocks from my house and I'd see it in its garage on occasion when riding my bike. But I never saw the owner around so I resisted the urge to stop and check it out.

Note the telescoping wheel and factory air



Not so the brother of my friend, Ron. Larry made the correct inquiries and walked away with a nicely preserved car at a very fair price (which I've sworn to keep to myself). The paint is worn, showing signs of fatigue and cracking, but it shines nicely. The interior is black vinyl. with a Powerfglide. Options include power steering and brakes, AM-FM radio, telescoping wheel and air conditioning. The previous owner, who had it since the early 1970s, added factory side pipes, the big-block "Stinger" hood, and an aftermarket 8-track tape player, which was mounted in the back between the two front seats (tape facing forward).

The car runs great and could be used as a nice driver, but I think Larry's itching to do a full resto on it. Which the car probably deserves.

I never inquired about the car. If I had, I wouldn't have been able to afford it. But someone asked and is now the proud owner of a beautiful vintage Chevy. Good for him.
