From the Greg Grams C-2 luxury and comfort Corvette collection.
Greg started selling these corvettes in the early 70s as used cars
and kept selling them as they became collector items. Recently he
has assembled an impressive collection of 1963-1967 Corvettes
focusing on air conditioned coupes. He has run each one through our
shop and they are very functional and dialed in ready to enjoy. He
took the time to assemble display boards with miscellaneous
literature, NCRS shipping reports, window stickers and more. Each
car comes with a jack and spare. Since the early 70s when he
started collecting, these cars have not been known to go down in
value. Drive an investment!
28,945 documented miles! #s matching, judged and documented!
There's so much good news about this car I don't know where to
start. It has a binder of history. Body off frame restored to
original specs. This car was closely inspected by NCRS judges and
it was given a 2nd Flight award with 93 points, a decal kept it
from Top Flight! We have the judges sheets. We also have the
original tank sticker and photos of it still on the fuel tank. This
documents the car was born like you see it, the tires and wheels
were upgraded. It also includes a display board with the manuals
and documents.
We have a 3 ring binder with some great history! The first several
pages are a complete ownership history; a title search was done
before it was outlawed. The gentleman that did the title search
contacted the previous owners and wrote notes about most of them.
The miles were also verified by different owners, one even signed
an odometer statement. There are pictures dated 1970 and 1972. Then
we have pictures of the car in an old barn where it was parked from
1979 to 1990 (yes, a real barn find!). Jim Shanel purchased the car
and had a flatbed winch it out of the barn. Jim is a Senior judge
for the Bloomington Gold certification board. He treated the car to
a complete, high-quality body off frame restoration to factory
specs. The person we aquired the car from has owned it since 1999.
It was kept in a climate controlled garage and they only put about
2,000 miles on it in 25 years. This type of history and
documentation is rarely available, certainly an invaluable addition
to this Corvette.
EXTERIOR: This car is so sexy! Look at the sleek lines, the stinger
big block hood and the boattail back end that's only on the coupe.
The side exhaust looks great but the sound it makes when you're
shifting those gears is absolutely the best! Reproduction "bolt on"
aluminum wheels were added, and they are wrapped in radial redline
tires. The body is outstanding, there's a few years on the
restoration and it still looks fresh. It has its bonding strips, I
did not see any cracks or body work showing. The headlights fit
precisely; the doors click shut. Repainted its original Elkhart
Blue and it looks fantastic. The metal flake is laid out evenly and
there is a smooth glossy finish. The black stinger is smooth to the
touch. There are some minor touch ups. All of the chrome sparkles.
Weatherstrips and seals are in great shape. New windshield.
INTERIOR: It is tidy: clean, fits right and unabused. When you sit
in the car you will feel like it's 1967 and you are in a new Vette.
The dash pads, instrument panel, gauges, knobs, glovebox door look
great. All the gauges work, I noticed it had 80 lbs oil pressure
and the clock has quartz movement. The door panels look to be very
nice originals. The seats are reupholstered and have firm cushions.
The console is pristine and has the correct 4-speed shifter.
Excellent carpet front to back. Overhead looks just as pristine.
All the interior lights work including in the glovebox.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Comfort and muscle, this is a rare and highly
desirable combination: #s matching 427 with factory air
conditioning! The a/c system is complete and working. The 427 has
verified correct casting codes and dates, the stamp pad has the
correct codes, dates and matching VIN numbers. This has been
verified by NCRS judges. #s match throughout, we have an extensive
list. This 427 produces 390 hp and a whopping 460 lbs of torque,
easy to maintain single Holley 4 barrel and hydraulic valve train.
The motor was completely rebuilt and balanced, it runs smooth and
strong. Every component looks fresh and correct. Those are correct
valve covers with the dimple spot welds, reproductions don't have
them. It has the ignition shielding including the braided plug
wires. Correct radiator, reproduction hoses and clamps. Another
nice factory option this Vette has is power brakes, correct cadmium
plated booster. Wiring, steering, pulleys all look proper and
fresh.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and the underside was
restored like factory new. It's a front and rear independent
suspension which has been completely rebuilt and detailed. The
steering was rebuilt. It also has factory disc brakes at all four
wheels. They were rebuilt, new lines, e-brake is hooked up. Looking
up at the motor it is clean Chevy orange, correct style starter and
canister type oil filter. The Muncie close ratio 4-speed is also
VIN number matching and correctly dated. The driveshaft was
restored and has assembly line markings reapplied. The 3.36 posi
rear is original with correct code and date. The frame was prepped
and painted a smooth semi-gloss black and correct stencil markings
were reapplied. The floors look great, they are raw fiberglass like
they should be. Many are painted black which be hiding damage, not
this one. The complete spare tire carrier is in excellent shape and
has a spare. It's very fresh looking under this car.
SERVICE: We thoroughly inspected this car and charged the a/c and
fixed the amp gauge.
CONCLUSION: This is truly a very special find; a Corvette
collector's find of a lifetime. Yes, it's a highly desirable 1967
Corvette coupe with a 427 and factory a/c, that's just the
beginning. It has been restored to a concourse level and judged. It
has incredible documentation and a detailed owner history that a
Corvette collector loves. This is a blue chip investment!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
