You like red Corvetttes. (So do we! ) How about this red Midyear that's going up for bids at Mecum's St. Charles (IL) auction October 1-4?

Isn't this the one you've always dreamed about?

Most Corvette fans agree that the 1967 L71 427 was the marque’s pinnacle model of the Sixties, a point driven home by the eye-catching Rally Red convertible offered here. An entirely matching-numbers car that has been body-off restored to the highest possible standards of finish and correctness, it is a fine example of the last of the big-block second-generation ‘Vette.

This Sting Ray was built for serious driving, with the transistor-ignition Tri Power 427 feeding 460 lb-ft of torque through an M-21 4-speed back to a beefy Positraction rear end. Other performance elements include N14 side exhaust, F41 heavy duty suspension and N89 finned aluminum wheels with Red Stripe tires. The absence of power assists for steering and brakes emphasizes this big block Sting Ray’s performance cred, and the contrasting White top, Black Stinger stripe and Black interior add to its show-quality appearance.

- Body-off restoration to the highest possible standards
- Numbers correct vehicle
- L71 427/435 HP engine
