The 1967 Corvette was the fifth and final year for a body style that started in 1963. Production problems delayed the new body and the Corvette design group scrambled to do something with an already four-year-old design. They removed trim to clean up the body surfaces, side fender engine air lovers were changed to a five-vent design, the gas cap was body color, new back-up light design and new rally wheels were added. Small block cars retained the same hood from 1965, but big block cars had a hood unique to the '67 which featured a hood scoop and painted stripe. The interior had a new seat upholstery, center mounted emergency brake, and flat dash knobs. Seven different engines were offered which ranged from 300hp 327 cubic inch small block to a big block 427 cubic inch L-88 engine.

The Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is the second generation of the Chevrolet Corvette sports car, produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1963 through 1967 model years
Origin and development
The 1959 Corvette Sting Ray concept and 1960 XP-700 show car in the front and the 1963 Corvette convertible and fastback in the back.
The 1963 Sting Ray production car's lineage can be traced to two separate GM projects: the Q-Corvette, and Bill Mitchell's racing Sting Ray. The Q-Corvette exercise of 1957 envisioned a smaller, more advanced Corvette as a coupe-only model, boasting a rear transaxle, independent rear suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes, with the rear brakes mounted inboard. Exterior styling was purposeful, with peaked fenders, a long nose, and a short, bobbed tail.
Meanwhile, Zora Arkus-Duntov and other GM engineers had become fascinated with mid and rear-engine designs. Duntov explored the mid/rear-engine layout with the lightweight, open-wheel, single-seat CERV I concept of 1959. A rear-engined Corvette was briefly considered during 1958-60, progressing as far as a full-scale mock-up designed around the Corvair's entire rear-mounted power package, including its air-cooled flat-six, as an alternative to the Corvette's usual water-cooled V8. By the fall of 1959, elements of the Q-Corvette and the Sting Ray Special racer would be incorporated into experimental project XP-720, which was the design program that led directly to the production 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. The XP-720 sought to deliver improved passenger accommodation, more luggage space, and superior ride and handling over previous Corvettes.
While Duntov was developing an innovative new chassis for the 1963 Corvette, designers were adapting and refining the basic look of the racing Sting Ray for the production model. A fully functional space buck (a wooden mock-up created to work out interior dimensions) was completed by early 1960, production coupe styling was locked up for the most part by April, and the interior, instrument panel included, was in place by November. Only in the fall of 1960 did the designers turn their creative attention to a new version of the traditional Corvette convertible and, still later, its detachable hardtop. For the first time in the Corvette's history, wind tunnel testing influenced the final shape, as did practical matters like interior space, windshield curvatures, and tooling limitations. Both body styles were extensively evaluated as production-ready 3/8-scale models at the Caltech wind tunnel.
The vehicle's inner structure received as much attention as the aerodynamics of its exterior. Fiberglass outer panels were retained, but the Sting Ray emerged with nearly twice as much steel support in its central structure as the 1958-62 Corvette. The resulting extra weight was balanced by a reduction in fiberglass thickness, so the finished product actually weighed a bit less than the old roadster. Passenger room was as good as before despite the tighter wheelbase, and the reinforcing steel girder made the cockpit both stronger and safer.
I came for the models, I stayed for the music.
Great build. . .Love the green with the "redlines". Also kudos to Revell for the box art. They kind of did a salute to my hometown. St. Louis was where the Vettes were built back then!
Don't know if anyone else pointed it out yet, to you.
Nice build my friend... I enjoy the soft , soothing music while I assemble my car models.. It seems to enhance my stability when getting into some fine detail.
Chris, thanks for the tip on the inner fenders. I've got that kit coming and your suggestion will keep what little hair I have left on my head intact when I go to mate the body and chassis together. BTW, I only bought it because of your review. You DO have a positive impact on us builders! Thanks again and rock on Brother!
You always make it look so easy mine usually wind up in the trash
Great colour scheme! The tan interior really sets on the emerald metallic finish. The suspension and driveline look good with the details highlighted -- very complete.
Every issue of this kit is just awesome. Such an easy build and it looks fantastic.
Nice looking kit, and your build up is outstanding. I really appreciate the fact that you didn't paint it red.....
The '67 big block Vette is the most desired of the breed. The body color looks a good representation of Goodwood Green - a very popular production color for that year. I am surprised that the engine is not the iconic L-71 (427/435 with 3x2's). However as the former owner of a '66 L-36 (427/390 1x4) I can attest that the 390 was a better engine for general street use. My car would regularly get 16 mpg with 3.36 gears while my friend would be thrilled when he got 10 mpg with his '67 L-71 with 4.11 gears. That's the nice thing about Vettes of that generation, you could order anything you wanted from the 327/300 with a glider to the L-88/M22 Rockcrusher. Those were the days! Thanks for a great build!
Chris if you don't keep all your builds or give them away anyway. You could do give aways to your viewers. I know some of us would really appreciate you and them, very much so. If you don't its ok, just a suggestion. Thanks for this video review. I was wondering if the seats were molded in and you answered that question for me. Revell did a great job on this kit and you made it look perfect. Build on bud.
A build so nice - I've watched it TWICE. Thanks, Chris, good choice.
Nice looking Vette Chris!! Love the green and tan. Love this body style over all the others but the split window is my absolute favorite. Thanks for the great review and the TIME you spent. 🙂
The '67 Corvette 427 is my favorite car! Love this, love this, love this! Made my day!
I love Corvettes. I have 6 in my collection. The one you built looks damn good.
I'm building this kit now thx for the tip!!!
Such an iconic car to start with. You did a great job man. I love that two-tone interior you put in there. Yes it does look like a European sports car that way. Actually reminds me of a BMW interior the way you did it. It's gorgeous. Great job.
Aswsome job Chris.
Love that awesome green and the tip on making the rims look like steel is great have a great weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Chris you always amaze me whenever you build stay safe and positive thoughts
