This ’67 Sting Ray brings classic style to life in a way few other models can match.

I always revel in sightings of major celebrities in Corvettes in California, especially when they are as big as this one. Maybe it’s the fact that after spending time in Los Angeles where so many celebrities drive Ferraris and Aston Martins, it’s always great to see one who has a little more taste.

Is it me, or does it seem as though eBay is becoming the go-to spot for scouting rare collectible Corvettes? One of the latest I’ve stumbled upon is a 1967 Lynndale Blue Sting Ray equipped with an (L71) 427 Tri-Power V8 with 435 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque mated to a four-speed manual transmission.

So I guess, you could say whoever purchased the car got a mighty fine deal.

This one-of-a-kind classic, which was on display at the Kennedy Space Center yesterday, is a 1967 Sting Ray once owned by astronaut Neil Armstrong … you know, the first person to walk on the moon. Yeah, this car is kind of a big deal.

Low-mileage Corvettes are typically rare finds even when it comes to some of the more recent models, but when it’s a 1967 Corvette with only 2,996 miles, it becomes even more special. Even more impressive, the car and all of its original parts are said to be in near-perfect condition. This ’67 ‘Vette was discovered in […] More »

There are plenty of classics which look like the last stop on their assembly line was a time machine. And without question, they’re gorgeous. But properly fusing past and present can be even trickier and 1CoolC2 has totally pulled it off with his ’67 C2. In addition to swapping the original mill for an LS7, […] More »
