Vehicle Description
This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible has its numbers-matching
V8, four-on-the-floor, and side pipes. So it's already quite
desirable before you see the awesome color combo of the one-year
only paint.
This is the kind of convertible that gets collectors excited. After
all, 1967 was the final year for the C2 Sting Ray, and this vette
was originally born in Goodwood Green, which was a single-year
offering. Bart Starr was even given a Goodwood Green Corvette for
winning the first ever Super Bowl! This vette was given a two-year
restoration completed in 2006. Not only was it given a quality
re-spray then, but it was done in a few shades darker to a more
modern medium metallic. The consignor also claims there was a
ceramic coating done in 2018. It gives this sunshine-friendly
convertible a nice gloss in the light. These final-year C2s are
free from some of the ornamentation of previous years, and so the
crisp body panels really let you appreciate how this is the
sleekest of the family. But sleeker doesn't mean it misses out on
brightwork. The two-piece chrome bumpers, full window trim, and
15-inch wheels looks nice against the deep green paint. And those
side pipes are an awesome piece of this C2's sporting legacy that
let you hear it every time you fire this one up.
The white convertible top looks distinctive against the green
paint, but for the best color combo, you need to take it down.
After all, the factory-correct saddle interior against the Goodwood
Green exterior has a European-like level of sophistication. They
invested nicely in here to get this feeling like day-one status,
right down to details like the weave of the carpeting and bright
knobs on the AM/FM stereo. Even the clock was part of this car's
restoration. When you sit in the low-back bucket seats and grab the
chrome shifter, the atmosphere instantly gets nostalgic. The
woodgrain steering wheel feels great (power steering), and all the
gauges show crisp markings that let you keep an eye on the engine's
status.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching L79 327 cubic-inch V8. The
whole engine bay has a great stock-style look to it, but there have
also been the right investments along the way. The motor was
rebuilt during the restoration, and it was given newer items like a
starter and Holley four-barrel carburetor. Plus, the full setup was
given a tune-up within the last few months to keep this a strong
runner. The four-speed manual transmission was given a new clutch
during the restoration, and the consignor states this feeds a 3.73
Positraction rear end. The fully independent suspension gives this
sharp moves, and the four-wheel disc brakes were given new calipers
and pads for proper stopping power.
This is a Corvette of true distinction that was also restored to
remain a strong runner. This sale comes with the owners manual,
protect-o-plate, and restoration receipts. That makes for a
terrific package you need to get your hands on right now. Call
