1967 Chevrolet Corvette - Hood Winked

Mark Kittrell's '67 proves that looks can be deceiving--even in a factory-correct CorvetteThe year 1967 was a wild time for Corvettes. Originally intended to be the first year of production for the new shark design, 1967 instead turned out to be the final year of the Sting Rays, with what many have called the "cleanest" design for any of the C2 offerings. While the lines on the '67 may have been cleaner, the production of them included plenty of events that were anything but.
