Produced on December 29, 1966, and delivered new to John Sonder Auto Company in New Holland, Pennsylvania, this car combines outstanding provenance, rare factory equipment, and award-winning authenticity.Finished in its striking factory color combination of Ermine White accented by a Lyndale Blue stinger stripe, the car is complemented by a matching blue soft top and an auxiliary painted hardtop. The exterior presentation is both crisp and period-correct, reflecting the high standards of its comprehensive restoration. Inside, the teal blue interior provides a vivid yet tasteful contrast, restored to exacting factory specifications in materials, fit, and finish. At the heart of this Corvette lies the legendary L68 427 cubic-inch V8 engine, factory rated at 400 horsepower. This tri-power big-block delivers exhilarating performance and is paired with a Muncie M21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging and authentic driving experience. Power is delivered through a 3.55:1 Positraction rear axle, ensuring both strong acceleration and confident road manners. Notably, the engine retains its original factory stamping, further validated by a Classic Car Affirmation Service certification from Al Grenning confirming the originality of the engine pad and its factory-applied Stamp! Factory options on this Corvette include a tinted windshield, transistorized ignition, factory N14 side exhaust, N40 power steering, A31 power windows, and an AM/FM radio, along with whitewall tires that enhance its classic appearance. The car is fitted with correct-style BF Goodrich Silvertown bias-ply whitewall tires, further contributing to its authentic factory presentation. Importantly, this Corvette was also equipped from the factory with side-exit exhaust, a highly desirable and relatively rare option for 1967 that not only enhances the car's aggressive appearance but also delivers the unmistakable sound synonymous with big-block performance, further elevating its collectibility. Each feature has been carefully restored and functions as intended, maintaining the car's originality and usability. In 2021, the car underwent a meticulous body-off-frame restoration performed by an NCRS 1967 Master National Team Judge. Every component was returned to factory-correct condition, orientation, and configuration, with all components verified to have correct casting numbers and date codes consistent with the build date of the car, further underscoring the exceptional level of detail and authenticity achieved. The quality of this restoration is underscored by its prestigious accolades. In May 2021, the Corvette earned an NCRS Top Flight Award with an exceptional score of 99.7, followed by a Bloomington Gold OEM Certification in June 2021, both highly respected benchmarks in the Corvette community that affirm the car's originality and correctness. Combining rare documentation, factory-correct driveline, date-correct components, exceptional color combination, rare factory side-exit exhaust, and top-tier judging awards, this 1967 Corvette Convertible stands as a benchmark example of the final and most refined year of the C2 generation. It offers collectors a unique opportunity to acquire a historically significant and impeccably restored American performance icon.
