1967 Corvette Test Drive

The great staff from Atlanta based American Sportscar Center Productions uploaded a nice clip on a 1967 Corvette. The owners of American Sportscar Center look all over the Southeast for Corvettes that have been well maintained and this one is a beauty.

A bit of GM design history: The C2 was a product of the William Mitchell era at GM. Where aviation themes had dominated design during Harley Earl's, the father of auto design and the Chevrolet Corvette, years at GM, Mitchell was more into European design which included fewer fins, less chrome, and a tighter body.

What you'll see: A vintage 1967 C2 Corvette Sting Ray four-speed with a 350 horse version of the 327. Check out the distinctive side exhaust and sound. She also came with factory air and power steering which was not standard at that time. This car is in almost mint condition inside and out. The few blemishes she carries are pointed out and then you go on a test drive. About 5:30 into the video you get a nice shot of the car on the road.
