- There were 4 big block options in 1967, and all were 427ci. Each had different power ratings: 390hp L36, 400hp L68, 435hp L71, and the insanely rare 430hp L88. The last two are heavily underrated (esp. the “430hp” L88 race engine), and were completely different beasts compared to the first two. The L36 and L68 are exactly the same engines, but the L68 has 3 carbs
- The L36 (found in this Goodwood Green car) was as close as you could get to the “everyday big block Corvette”. It was the stump puller of the group, sacrificing high RPM power for low end torque, giving it the ability to turn A/C and power steering pumps around town with ease. Its hydraulic roller lifters required no valve lash adjusting, and its single carb made it easier to work on than the tri-carb setups of the more powerful 427’s
- Due to the low profile shape of the Coupe, the doors had to cut into the roof so that an opening would emerge when the door is ajar. Without this enlarged opening, people would bang their heads against the roof when getting in and out
- For the C2 generation, both the coupe and convertible had no trunk. All luggage had to be stored in the hatch (of the coupe), which could only be accessed by folding the seats down
- The C2 used fully independent front and rear suspension, during a time when many Ferrari and Aston Martin cars were still using live axles in the rear
- 1967 cars can be identified by the number of slots in the fender vents. 1963-1966 had 3 slots, while 1967 had 5 slots
- A blue “GM Mark of Excellence” label was attached to the back of each ’67 Corvette door above the latch, as a quality awareness gesture. No other year C2 featured this
- The rocker panels now have a flat black finish (no ribbing)
- There was now a single backup light over the license plate, as opposed to a backup light on each side (in line with the brake lights) on previous years
- Knock-off wheels could not be had for ’67, due to safety regulations. 1966 was the final year for the knock-off option
- For a cleaner look, most of the exterior trim and emblems that were found on 1966 models were no longer featured on the ’67 model
- The hand brake was now a lever placed in between the seats (a Corvette first) instead of a pedal located under the dash in the previous years
- Energy-absorbing steering column, four-way hazard warning flashers and a dual master cylinder brake system are standard for 1967
- Seats were a new design, as well as the upholstery
- The lock buttons were moved further forward on the door panels, and they featured an attaching screw at the rear
- The passenger safety handle bar above the glovebox (a Corvette feature since 1958) is deleted for 1967
