In 1963 the Chevrolet Motor Company pulled the cover off its aggressively restyled and creatively renamed Corvette, the Sting Ray. The strong and streamlined Sting Ray was a hit and caused production to go as high as 21,513, a number that continued to grow in the years that followed. The new Corvette was the brainchild of the three-man team of Bill Mitchell, Larry Shinoda and Zora Arkus-Duntov. Mitchell's promotion following the departure of Harley Earl ushered in a new era of design and styling. The Sting Ray's overall appearance was directly influenced by the one-off race car called the Mitchell Sting Ray, a car Mitchell himself financed throughout competition. The body work of the race car was masterfully carried out by designer Larry Shinoda. When Bill Mitchell saw the car for the first time, he was so impressed he instantly commissioned Shinoda to begin working on a production model - he knew then he had seen the future of the Corvette sports car.
By 1967 Chevrolet had hoped to restyle the Corvette, however lack of time allowed for only minor changes to be implemented. Despite this shortcoming, the 1967 Sting Ray turned out to be one of the best (if not the best) model to date, as testified by the Corvette Buyers Guide, Everything done to the 1967, the new side-fender louver treatment, the relocation of the handbrake from under the dash to between the seats, the new hood for the 427 cubic engine ......everything came out right. .....It's hard to say now, but the 1967 does get a lot of votes as the best built Corvette ever.
The '67 Sting Ray offered a variety of different powerplants, ranging from the standard 327ci. to the torquey 427ci. as featured on the model offered here, the engine upgrade cost the buyer an extra $437.00.
In the early 1990s, Mr. Moores purchased the Sting Ray following its premier showing at the Bloomington Corvette Show. The rare white/red paint combination and restoration true to its original delivery condition, among other things, helped make it a Bloomington Gold award recipient, a further testament to the high quality of restoration undertaken with this car. During the frame-off restoration at the hands of the Neighbor Brothers, the car was treated to a bare metal respray, meanwhile all interior and exterior chrome and trim was redone and examined for authenticity and correctness. Upon completion of these tasks, the L71 was fitted with a brand new interior. No expense was spared on this thorough restoration.
The original sticker price for the Sting Ray was $4,388.75. This particular Sting Ray came equipped with many options including leather seats, power windows, shoulder belts, air conditioning, side mount exhaust system, power steering and performance rated red line tires. The cost of these items raised the total price to over $6,000 new. Today these features still remain true to the original specifications and no doubt are restored to the same high quality as when first displayed thirty-one years ago. This L71 Sting Ray Sports Coupe Bloomington Gold member stands as one of the best Corvettes ever built and would no doubt continue to show well in competition or on the road muscling past its European counterparts.
