The Last Corvette: Restored, reborn and ready to aid charity
Last ’67 off the line will benefit amyloidosis research
CARLISLE, Pa. – In 1967, Corvette built its last second-generation models. Known as the C-2, and the StingRay, the marquee was succeeded in 1968 by production of the “Shark” model, which many Vettophiles believe marked the end of Corvette power, as the following generation of America’s sports car was largely under-powered.
The last 1967 ’Vette off the assembly line in St. Louis, was No. 22940, a Silver Pearl Corvette with black trim. The car housed an L-36 engine – a 427 V-8 that stampeded out 390 bhp at 5400 rpm, and 460 lbs-ft of torque at 3600 rpm.
