A few of the modifications that occurred from 1966 to the 1967 model year were fairly modest things like flat finish rockers sans ribbing, factory 6 inch rally wheels with smaller chromed out beauty hubcaps, a brand new single backup light situated above the license plate, and the handbrake was also moved from underneath the dash panel to between the seats. The powertrain actually changed hardly any from a year earlier.

Its front suspension had independent upper or lower A arms, anti-roll bar, tubular hydraulic shock absorbers, and cool springs. The rear suspension featured fixed differential, radius rods, tubular hydraulic shock absorbers, lateral struts, in an extra antiroll bar came with 1967s that had a big block engine.

Some of the options involved features such as leather-based seats, power windows, headrests, soft Ray tinted glass, auxiliary hardtop, shoulder belts, air conditioning (amazingly only 3788 people added this option), vinyl covering, positraction rear axle, special front and rear end suspension, air injection reactor, transistor ignition system, heavy-duty brakes, the 390, 400, 435, 350, and 430 hp engines, aluminum cylinder heads on the L71, four speed manual transmission (close ratio or heavy-duty), powerglide tranny, 36 gallon fuel tank on the coupe, off-road exhaust system, side mount exhaust system, telescopic steering column, power steering, cast aluminum bolt on wheels, redline tires, speed warning indicator, AM/FM radio.

The L88 had several options that were mandatory by Chevrolet include transistorized ignition, positrain, power brakes, and a heavy-duty suspension system. You might not believe this, but only 20 of these cars were sold new in 1967. You have to think that those individuals were the ones that love power. Heck, they were only $1500 over the base price, however they are extremely expensive and uncommon cars on today’s market.

The year of 1967 was the year in which Corvette’s sales drop by 5000 units, due to a new redesign that was coming out. However, the 67 Corvette is considered one of the quintessential collector cars of all time. Its impact on the car collecting world has been tremendous.
