For Sale: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

"The RestoMod movement has grown in popularity over the past 10 years for many reasons: The proliferation of well engineered chassis, suspension systems, etc., an aging demographic who wants to have comfort, performance, and ease of maintenance with their classic Corvettes, and the cost/benefit analysis of restoring versus Restomodding an average beater Corvette. In general, rare original numbers matching Corvettes are not the targets of the Restomod crowd. It is typically a non original, typically bastardized Corvette that is given a new lease on life. In the end, whether you like RestoMods or not, their existence keeps the C1/C2 hobby alive for the next generation of enthusiasts." From a conversation thread on Corvetteforum.com

For consignment, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible with a title verified 36,174 actual miles. This resto-mod was featured on the cover and inside Vette Magazine in November of 2016 and features a supercharged LS9 powerplant and Wilwood brakes all around. But that's just scratching the surface, let's dig deeper.

Exterior
If the color looks familiar, you may be a true Corvette fan as the selection here is Anniversary Red from 2003 and the hood stinger is accentuated with custom black cherry paint and both have subtle black tones that create a great blend with the canvas soft top and of course, the low profile tires. The depth of the fender gills create dark shadows for even more congruence and the 17-inch Billet Specialties wheels simply pop, whether viewed in person or in photographs. The split rear bumper perfectly reflects the dual tail lights above them, and frames the license plate under a wide reverse light. The body work is great on the can and so is the paint with a few imperfections noted as some chips on the door edge, some touched up, a few stress cracks, some scratches, some rock chip spray behind the rear wheels, and some curb rash.

Interior
Black door panels are standard here with some polished trim and both present in nice condition. More modern black leather bucket seats occupy the cabin with five point racing harnesses included, all under a six point roll cage and behind a surprisingly original looking steering wheel. But that's where stock ends as the instrument cluster is completely custom and adorned with an array of both black faced and white faced AutoMeter gauges and even an embedded shift light, while the center stack goes back to semi stock with an analog clock over an AM/FM/Cassette radio. The center console has its share of patina and houses a white knobbed Hurst shifter over black loop carpet, loose in some spots but in overall good condition.

Drivetrain
Looking very much like it belongs, the 6.2 liter LS9 V8 wears the familiar shroud, here painted to match the car and fitting almost seamlessly into the bay. It's fuel injected of course, and rated at an astounding 638 horsepower. A built Tremec T56 6-speed manual is behind it, routing power to the Ford 9" in back. Headers are on board to begin the heavy breathing.

Undercarriage
Clean and dry underneath with some added bracing to the chassis and zero surface rust nor errant fluids to note. Dual exhaust flow through Borla mufflers routed to exit through the rear valance and disc brakes are found on all four wheels and Wilwood is employed to slow the ponies down. Suspension includes coil over sin front and a 3 link with coil overs in back. An Aeromotive racing fuel pump is noted underneath along with a bottom mounted battery.

Drive-Ability
The engine sounds great in a C6 ZR-1, but somehow it sounds even better here as we turn the key and bring this rest-mod to life. Shifting, acceleration, braking, handling, all check the boxes out on the test loop and with the top down, things can only get better! This is a fun, fast ride and a comfortable one to boot! We happily note that all functions on board operate as they should, including the gauge package which eliminates the need for guessing. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Tell your friends you just bought a hybrid, only in this case, it's a hybrid of new and old. Then tell them you now own one of one. Still not impressed? Show them the 2016 edition of Vette magazine with this car on the cover. Ah, now you're talking. Fame and fortune, wrapped in a little red Corvette!
