For Sale: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette in Columbus, Ohio

Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you this stunning 1967 Corvette coupe! In 2006, this Corvette was treated to a 427ci V-8 built by Performance Research Inc. (a well-respected engine builder in Columbus, Ohio), and in 2009, the body was removed from the frame and repainted, then the interior was restored. Needless to say, this is one impressive Corvette! Let's dig deeper into all the details...

This Corvette comes to us dressed in slick Marina Blue (976) paint, its original color. The paint is eye-catching and exceptionally nice, but a couple of small demerits keep it in the high-driver quality category. Perfectly accenting the beautiful blue body is a stinger hood with a white stripe and "427" badging. The front end features iconic pop-up headlights, a chrome eggcrate grille, and a gleaming split bumper. Both front fenders have louvers that vent heat and also add to the sporty look of the car. From the side view, you can see that this Corvette is outfitted with side pipes that both look awesome and sound incredible. Just above the pipes are black and chrome rocker covers. Chrome touches continue with bright windshield trim, wiper arms, window trim, side mirrors, and door handles, all adding some sparkle. The car sits atop correct aluminum 36-spoke wheels with bowtie center caps all wrapped in red-line BF Goodrich Silvertown radials - a perfect choice! Around back, you'll find a centered "cross-flags" gas fill cover, round taillights with bright trim rings, centered reverse lights, "Corvette Sting Ray" badging, and another set of shiny bumperettes. Underneath the rear end is a spare kit with a full spare - just in case.

Lift the forward tilting hood to reveal a very clean and stock-looking engine bay. At the heart of it all is a 427ci iron block sourced by Performance Research Inc. just for this project. The car comes with a very detailed "spec-book" for the engine build as well as receipts. The big block is topped off with iron GM open-chamber oval port heads - all of which were hot-tanked and magnafluxed at the beginning of the process. Inside the block, you'll find SRP forged pistons, a GM steel crankshaft, a Bullet hydraulic roller cam, Comp Cams Pro Magnum roller rocker arms, and Eagle Specialty H-beam connecting rods. Atop the engine are orange big block valve covers, a GM aluminum tri-power intake, three 2-barrel carburetors, and a triangular chrome air cleaner with a "Turbojet 427 3x2 400hp decal". That's not all, though; other highlights under the hood include power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, a chrome ignition cover, and working factory air conditioning. The big 427 is mated up to a 2-speed Powerglide transmission that sends power to the rear wheels via a 3.23:1 rear axle. The end result is a freeway-friendly Corvette that can still smoke the tires if you're in the mood.

Open the driver's door to find that the interior is every bit as impressive as the body and the engine bay. This car was originally, and still is, equipped with a two-tone blue and white vinyl interior (450) - a gorgeous combination that works perfectly with the Marina Blue exterior. The interior looks just as good today as it did in 1967, thanks to a restoration around 2009 and good stewardship by its caretaker of the last 20+ years. The white door panels have been replaced and are in excellent condition. The seats have been re-foamed and covered in correct dual-texture white vinyl. Contrasting the white seats are a set of blue seatbelts. Between the seats is a white emergency brake housing with chrome seat belt holders. Ahead of that is a blue and chrome shift console with an ashtray. The floors are covered in stain-free high quality blue hook & loop carpet topped with matching floormats adorned with cross-flags logos. White trim on the pillars and rear window leads up to a nice white vinyl headliner with matching visors. Ahead of the driver is an aftermarket 3-spoke chrome and polished wood steering wheel on a fixed column. The steering wheel was changed out to make the car a little easier for the previous owner to drive it, but the larger original steering wheel is included with the car. The steering wheel frames the driver's side of the double hump blue dash. Inside the driver's "hump" is a black bezel that houses a 160mph speedometer and a 7K tachometer as well as working gauges for fuel, battery, oil, and temp. It's also where you'll find knobs for the lights, the working two-speed wipers, and a working lighter. The center of the dash is home to a speaker, vents, a working clock, working heat and A/C controls, as well as the fan and directional controls, and a vertically situated Delco AM/FM stereo. Ahead of the passenger is a new-looking glovebox door that opens to display a reproduction owner's manual and a bag. This Corvette comes with receipts for the engine build, paint, and interior restoration, as well as a car cover in a storage bag. It also comes with several storage tubs that contain paint (liquid, spray, and touch-up), stereo instructions, a shop manual, NCRS Authentication & Operations manuals, a complete restoration guidebook, a Chiltons manual, 2 used headlight bezels - buckets - doors, 2 new 427 side flag emblems, 2 used door hinges, part of a blower motor and housing, and a used horn.

Only 8,504 Corvette Coupes were made in 1967, making it a rather rare ride today. This particular Corvette sure does check the boxes - 400hp 427ci V-8, 2-speed Powerglide transmission, power steering, power brakes, cold factory A/C, slick Marina Blue paint, side-pipes, a breathtaking two-tone interior, gleaming brightwork, and correct aluminum wheels with redline tires! Not only is the car absolutely beautiful, but it's also a blast to drive! As the years go by, these 67's will only become all the more rare, and if you don't pull the trigger on a fine example like this one now, you'll surely regret it down the road. Don't wait, call our staff today and be the lucky one to call this genuine piece of American automotive history your own!
