For Sale at Auction: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette in Scottsdale, Arizona

Beginning with an original 1967 big-block 427/390hp Corvette with factory air conditioning (one of 229 built), power steering, power windows and power brakes (documented with the original Tank Sticker), this Corvette received a no-expense-spared body-off Resto-Mod build by the master craftsmen at Springfield Motorsports in British Columbia and has been driven less than 500 miles since completion. The car rides on a custom hand-built TIG-welded tube chassis tailor-made for this specific car, which has been powder-coated in red to match the exterior. All the underpinnings of the car are modern components, including aluminum A-arms, power rack & pinion steering, adjustable Aldan coilover suspension, Wilwood disc brakes and a one-off set of polished three-piece Fikse Aero wheels. In order to retain the original DNA of the car, the power comes from a pro-built 496ci big-block Chevrolet V8 engine by K&S Machine in Kelowna, British Columbia, producing a dyno-proven 617hp at 6,000 rpm and 591 ft/lbs of torque at 5,000 rpm (dyno sheet included). The pump-gas-friendly engine features AFR aluminum 335cc heads flowing a massive 410 cfm, Sportsman Racing Products forged pistons, Eagle forged rods and crank and a Comp Thumpr camshaft, fed by an 850-cfm Holley Quick Fuel carburetor on top of an Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum intake manifold with a custom tri-power-style air cleaner. Additional under-hood highlights include a Ron Davis Racing Products aluminum radiator, Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine system, Holley billet fuel pump, Powermaster aluminum starter and polished billet alternator, hidden MSD 6AL ignition system, a modern Vintage Air climate-control system with polished compressor and a Wilwood aluminum master cylinder. The entire engine bay has been smoothed and beautifully painted to match the exterior of the car, with custom-fabricated finned valve covers featuring the iconic "Corvette" script. The big block breathes through ceramic-coated long-tube headers into a 3-inch exhaust and MagnaFlow mufflers with custom-mounted center-exit Corsa tips. The transmission is a built TCI Streetfighter 700R automatic capable of handling up to 750hp and includes overdrive for easy highway cruising. All this power needs to be put to the ground, which is assisted by a custom narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end with an aluminum Dale Gerry center section and 3.70 gears, Bears Performance Products 31-spline heavy-duty Street Pro axles and a four-link triangulated rear suspension. In order to increase the contact patch and achieve the meanest stance possible, the car has been professionally mini-tubbed in order to fit the massive custom offset Fikse Aero wheels wrapped in 345/40 tires. The interior has been fully customized without losing the identity of an original 1967 Corvette by the award-winning Lee Baxter Custom Interiors. Highlights include a custom dash, door panels, seats, console, rear storage area and a leather headliner. Red Dakota Digital LED gauges make it easy to keep an eye on engine vitals and a custom small-diameter three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel with tilt rounds out the interior appointments. Thousands of hours were invested in the paint and body, resulting in laser-straight panels and extremely tight body caps. The car was finished in Ferrari Rosso Corsa Red with a Crystal Red metallic Stinger stripe on the original big-block Stinger hood adorned with custom "496" badging, mimicking the font of the original car's emblems. This highly documented build includes two three-ring binders full of build pictures and receipts, a dyno sheet, the original Tank Sticker verifying the car's original options and an NCRS shipping data report. ** PREVIEW
