Vehicle Description
Offered here is a gorgeous final year of the mid-year Vette for
consideration. This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe was fully
restored by Pro Team Corvette of Napoleon, Ohio right before our
client purchased it in 2006. Pro Team is one of the best in
Corvette business and they didn't cut any corners with this
Corvette. It is mint. So mint that it had a 3.5 year display at The
Gilmore Car Museum of Hickory Corners, Michigan, which is one of
the most exquisite car museums in the country. It was there from
the Fall of 2008 to the Spring of 2012. Best in show pretty much
guaranteed wherever you take this car.
The car is finished in factory original Marina Blue (code 976) over
a newly upholstered leather interior. The car is powered by the
original, numbers matching L71 427ci/435hp Tri-Power engine (block
stamped 110831 - last 6 of the VIN). The 4-speed transmission and
rear-end are also original. As you will notice from the photos, the
original heads were replaced by 1968 aluminum heads to make it a
tribute L89 car, as only 16 total of these Corvettes were ever
built. Ty Mason, a local and legendary GM engine builder, did the
head and carb work. The original heads do accompany the car. At
51,800 miles, the oil was changed and rear end was drained with new
fluid added. It is ready for a new garage.
The car was believed to have been originally ordered new by a
military officer stationed in Germany, as indicated by stickers on
the driver door well and passenger fender. Our client also served
in the military, which makes this Veteran-owned Vette even more
special. Its been around the world and remains one of the classiest
looking and performing Corvettes ever made. The body style
completely changed in 1968, shifting to the C3, which makes this
final year Vette highly sought after. Chevrolet does not offer an
in depth Marti Report like Ford, but we do know only 8,504 Coupes
were built in 1967 (14,436 Convertibles), 3,754 had the L71 engine,
and 3,840 were finished in Marina Blue. A great car at a very
reasonable price. The car also comes with an extra set of 4 wheels
with correct GM original date stamp wrapped in Cooker redline tires
with 300 miles. Be sure to check out over 100 photos and video on
our website. Call or e-mail if interested. Thank you for
looking.
