Ultimate Corvette!
The C2 Corvette platform spanned from 1963-1967 and is the second
generation of Chevrolets ultimate sports car. This series of
Corvettes are arguably the most iconic and adored by collectors and
enthusiasts across the country, and all over the world. The design
team for Corvette started with a clean sheet of paper for the C2;
in the end, they created an incomparable domestic sports car that
gained the respect of sports-car manufacturers across the globe
with its sleek body lines, lower roof, excellent handling, and wide
selection of powerplant options.
The team at LaFontaine Classic Cars is very proud to release an
incredible piece of automotive muscle car history a 1967 Corvette
L71 Coupe that has undergone a no expense spared restoration,
bringing it back to its former glory.
The restoration was performed under prior ownership and began by
disassembling the car, removing the body from the frame for easier
access to areas normally hard to get to this results in a more
thorough, detailed, finished product. Countless hours were spent
sanding the original color blue down to bare fiberglass, then
meticulously primed and sanded until the surface was suitable for
the new RPO code 900 Tuxedo Black hue. When it was time to spray
the color, it was applied in multiple coats to assure a flat,
smooth, finish, followed up by carefully rubbing out the surface,
then polishing the entire body to a mirror-like finish. When it was
time to reassemble the body, new or refurbished items were
installed including all lenses and bezels, chrome/stainless
components including bumpers, door handles, side view mirror, and
window trim. Additional items included chambered side-pipe exhaust
and shields, lower front grill, with new emblems and badges in
their correct location.
The frame was completely disassembled and sandblasted, then treated
to multiple coats of primer followed by the semi-gloss black for an
OEM look. Upon reassembly, new or refurbished suspension and
steering components were installed from front to rear such as, new
rear leaf spring, front coil springs, steering gear, shocks,
control arms, related bushings, and so much more. The assembled
body and frame were reunited using new stock type body bushings to
keep interior vibrations to a minimum. New fuel and brake lines
were installed from front to rear with proper clips and retainers
fastening them as required. Brake components are the very capable,
factory 4-wheel discs and calipers that do an incredible job
bringing this Big-Block Vette to a stop.
Lifting the hood reveals Chevrolets flagship engine for 1967, the
numbers matching 427 cubic inch big-block, topped with a special
aluminum intake manifold with (3) 2-barrel factory Holley
carburetors, topped by a chrome triangular air filter lid wearing
the decal that says it all, Turbo-Jet 427 3/2 435 Horsepower. It is
this engine package that makes this Corvette so valuable, and even
better, it is the same engine that the car was born with! While the
entire drivetrain was rebuilt during restoration, the 427 received
special attention to make sure the numbers on the block were
preserved!
This 1967 Corvette Coupe would make an excellent addition to any
garage or collection.
