1967 was the pinnacle year of the C2 and is one of the most sought
after examples of a Corvette. It was supposed to be the first year
for the C3, but Chevrolet prolonged the C2 by a year. The C2
Corvette design was awarded number 1 out of the top 100 car designs
by "Automobile Magazine." They said, "Like James Dean, JFK, and
Jimmy Clark, midyear Corvettes left the scene at the peak of their
game."
This car was discovered in a barn at the original owners house. We
pulled the car out. We have the original CT title. The car was
parked since the early 1980's. Once we pulled the car out and
brought it to our facility we removed the original fuel tank and
carefully dusted off the tank sticker and carefully removed it. The
Tank Sticker was scanned and sent to NCRS where they, "Validated,"
it. The engine pad was cleaned and sent to Al Grenning where it was
validated to be the, "born with," engine as well.
A restoration was commenced on the car, we pulled the body of the
frame, we stripped everything off of the car. The frame was sent
out for powder coating, all of the driveline was rebuilt, the
trailing arms were rebuilt. All of the original hardware was sent
out to be replated. The body was completely stripped and the car
was painted with single stage urethane and done to replicate the
original type of finish. Every item on the car was carefully
restored to be as close to factory production. The engine was all
rebuilt with a roller cam, roller lifters and roller rockers. It
was balanced, blueprinted and dyno'd. It's putting out about 475hp.
This car was restored to drive and not just show. All of the
natural components were coated with a matte clear to preserve them,
the half shafts were shot peened as the original ones were done on
the Big Blocks. A Centerforce lightweight flywheel was used as well
as a Centerforce clutch.
The car was debuted at the NCRS Metro Long Island event in May of
2022 where it earned a Top Flight right out of the gate. Post show,
we went through the judging sheets and changed some of the items to
help the car score higher the next time out.
This is a true investment grade Corvette that is documented and
awarded. It doesn't get much better than this example with a fresh
frame-off restoration.
