Vehicle Description
Restored to such quality you'd understand if it sat underneath a
protective layer of cellophane, this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette
convertible will afford some discriminating classic car aficionado
the unique chance to own one of Chevy's best drop top offerings of
its quintessential American sports car. It's been meticulously
restored, features its original drivetrain and fiberglass body, and
comes with all the documentation you could ever want as proof of
both its originality and the exceptional caliber of materials that
went into the restoration process.
1967 was a great model year for the Corvette. As the last of the
model's second generation, it benefitted from all the innovation
and research poured into previous models, resulting in a refined
appearance that was light years ahead of its time. This 'Vette is
an outstanding representative of that generation, as its Goodwood
Green paint - its original color - shows a finish and uniformity
that can only come from exacting prep work, and everywhere you
look, the chrome has been brought back to an impressive,
new-looking state. Upon closer inspection, you'll see that the body
contours running along both sides line up exceptionally well, along
with body panels that sit very flush and doors that open and close
very smoothly - an indication of just how well-aligned this Chevy
really is. You can't help but crack a smile as you picture yourself
behind the wheel of this automotive icon with nothing but blue sky
above you. But in less forgiving climate, the manual white
convertible top is very well-fitted, raises and lowers easily, and
even features a nice clear window in back. For even more protection
from the elements, a fiberglass hard top in matching green comes
with the car.
Take a look inside and you'll see the second half of a very
eye-catching color combination. The saddle leather interior not
only features a great hue to begin with, one that conveys a
definite feeling of luxury, but it's also unusually well-crafted
while still mirroring the original configuration this Corvette
started out with. Just as you would rightfully expect in a car
that's logged under 200 miles since leaving the restoration shop,
its bucket seats appear as if they've seen almost no activity,
showing no marks or discoloration across their surfaces. There's
evidence of just how outstanding this restoration project really is
everywhere in this cockpit - the door panels, center console and
dash area with its distinct twin-arch design all have a museum
quality appearance. When you peer through the stock woodgrain
steering wheel, you'll also see that the full assortment of gauges
in the instrument cluster looks as good as it did when this car
first hit the asphalt.
There's an undeniable appeal to a drivetrain left in stock
configuration, but it almost always comes at the expense of
performance. When that original engine happens to be a
much-heralded L79 327 V8, churning out a full 350 horsepower, no
such sacrifice must be made. It's paired up with the original
4-speed manual transmission to make for a truly noteworthy classic
drivetrain combination. As testimony to just how serious Chevrolet
was in making sure their true American sports car stayed well ahead
of the competition, they had already gone to a fully independent
rear suspension and four wheel disc brakes when this 'Vette came
out, so in its stock configuration it's a nimble performer that's
also capable of stopping in very short order.
Coming with a documented restoration, it's tank sticker still on
the tank, and a full list of part codes/date codes, if you're
looking for a truly exceptional drop top classic that's been
restored to an impeccable stock condition, you have to check out
