The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427/435hp is a rare and highly sought-after model, especially with its low mileage (49,750 miles) and historical significance. Being part of the first wave of 427/435hp cars built for the 1967 model year is a notable distinction. The fact that it has been in the same family since 1976 adds to its appeal for collectors, as it shows a well-preserved history.
Additionally, the Tank Sticker Documentation is a key element in verifying the car's originality and authenticity, which is highly valued in the classic car market. These documents typically provide insight into the car's original factory specifications, and can make a big difference in terms of valuation and provenance.
Having the car presented at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals Show in 2025, thanks to Ralph Ronzello, provides an opportunity for Corvette enthusiasts and collectors to admire and appreciate this exceptional vehicle. It's great to see such a piece of automotive history being showcased!

It’s so hard to pick favorites, but some of the best books I’ve read so far this year are The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea, Gallant, The Library of the Dead, and The Very, Very Far North.
Story & 📸 Photo Credit: Michael J. Dart - Facebook/ MidYear Corvettes OK, here's the last #JeffHayes #MidYear creation, I know about & it's mine. Built in 2017, I purchased this beauty early May of 2019 as the 3rd owner. She only had 231 miles on the odometer as the first 2 owners barely gave her any exercise. I've got just under 3,000 miles on the odometer at this time. To protect her beauty, #AutoSupershield #BocaRaton applied #SunTek #PaintProtectivefilm, #wrapping the whole car. Jeff Hayes has also provided me with 2 of his upgrades from later creations, being the #Corvette script door sills and the chrome knock off spinners. I added color matched Corvette seat belts and just recently the belt buckle retaining clip. As light as she is, with 525 #horsepower you better hold on but when driven on the #highway at 80, the tach is under 2000 rpm. Driving somewhat spirited on the highway, she delivers almost 19 mpg. Here's the links to two videos taken when the first two owners put this 1967 #StingRay up for sale. #RKMotors 2nd owner's sale broker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6R-J-6Qepk&t=7s #GatewayClassicCars 1st owner's sale broker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOs-552Xy-c&list=FLrhzo78kQ9FJu7bhudzKS0w&index=27&t=174sC (at Somewhere in the USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEvHUzcnkvH/?igshid=qrz969hr80ib
