conditioning, power steering & brakes, automatic transmission,
power windows, and more! Later fitted with desirable bolt-on
aluminum wheels and side pipes! Fully rebuilt mechanically in 1982
with a comprehensive freshening in 2009! Comes with original build

fives fender louvers, updated stinger hood for big block-optioned
cars as well new Tri-Power carburetion for 427ci V8s, and new
rocker moldings, many enthusiasts find the 1967 model year Corvette
to be the ultimate of any Corvette collection! The optional
knock-off aluminum wheels were modified to be a bolt on design with
a center cap to hide the lug nuts for added safety, along with the
absence of hubcaps in leau of rally wheels instead. Inside, the
parking park was moved to the center console between the seats, the
dash grab bar for passengers removed, along with other minor
revisions. It was meant to be a full redesign year, but the C3
wasnt quite ready accordingly to Duntovs liking, so this year ended
up being a rather limited production run! Today, they are arguably
the most beautiful classic Corvette ever built and highly coveted
for American Sports Car collectors! We are very pleased to offer
this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible fitted with its factory,
numbers matching 327ci V8 making 300 horsepower and Powerglide
automatic transmission! Additional features and options factory

steering, upgraded bolt-on aluminum wheels wrapped in Coker Classic

Bright Blue vinyl interior and new white convertible top making for

open element air cleaner. This beautiful Corvette was restored
while residing in Climax, MI in October 1982 which included a
complete repaint to a bare fiberglass body and full engine and
transmission overhaul. The mechanical work was carried out by
Roberts Service Center in Kalamazoo, MI starting with cleaning &
degreasing the engine, magnaflux tested the block, main caps, &
rods, followed by a bore & hone of the cylinder walls, and line
hone of the block head surfaces. Fitted with new brass freeze
plugs, oil plugs, new main bearings, rod bearings, camshaft & cam
bearings, new .030 pistons & rings, head pins, reconditioned rods,
new lifters, grind crank .010-.010 & polished, complete valve job,
new oil pump, timing chain, along with all ignition equipment,

completion and today shows only 4,050 miles. The chrome bumpers
were re-plated by Midwest Bumper Co, and the interior upholstery
provided by Al Knock and installed by Cochrans Vinyl Service. It
made its way to Florida soon afterward spending time on the road
there since 1994. More recently in 2008/2009, the air conditioning
