This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Resto-Mod is a beautifully
executed example of what many enthusiasts dream of when they
imagine the ultimate C2 Corvette: classic mid-year styling, a
stunning factory color combination, and the kind of modern
performance and drivability that makes the car an absolute pleasure
to use.
What makes this Corvette especially appealing is that it started
life as a low actual mile, undamaged original example before its
transformation. Rather than beginning with a tired or heavily
altered car, this build was based on a solid, well-preserved
Corvette with excellent bones. That foundation shows throughout the
finished product and gives the car a level of integrity that
separates it from many resto-mod builds.
Finished in its original Lyndale Blue, this Corvette has the look,
presence, and elegance that made the 1967 model year so special.
The paint is beautiful, the body lines are excellent, and the car
has that unmistakable final-year C2 Corvette attitude. Inside, the
exceptional Black leather interior gives the car a rich, clean, and
purposeful appearance that perfectly complements the exterior
color.
Under the hood is a crate LS3 V8 engine, paired with a crate Tremec
5-speed manual transmission. The result is a Corvette that retains
the soul and excitement of a classic American sports car, but with
modern power, reliability, and performance. It starts, runs,
shifts, and drives with the kind of confidence that makes this car
feel just as comfortable on a weekend cruise as it would on a
spirited back-road drive.
The suspension has been completely transformed with a full Van
Steel tubular A-arm coil-over front and rear suspension system,
featuring Ultraride shocks and a 1 1/8-inch front sway bar.
Steering has been upgraded with a Borgeson power steering box, and
stopping power comes from all-new upgraded power four-wheel disc
brakes. These improvements give the car a much more modern,
planted, and responsive feel while still preserving the legendary
C2 Corvette experience.
The stance is excellent, thanks to custom chrome Rallye-style
wheels measuring 17 x 7 inches in the front and 17 x 8 inches in
the rear, wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza radials with 225/45R17
tires up front and 245/45R17 tires in the rear. The look is
tasteful and classic, while the wheel and tire package gives the
car the grip and presence a build of this caliber deserves.
One of the great bonuses with this Corvette is that it comes with
its complete numbers-matching 327/300 horsepower V8 engine and
original 4-speed transmission. Also included are the original
suspension, brakes, and original factory Rallye wheels and tires.
That makes this car especially appealing for someone who wants the
modern driving experience while still retaining the original
components that belong with the car.
If you have been looking for a modern driving version of the
pinnacle of the C2 Corvette, this 1967 Corvette Convertible is a
truly outstanding example. It has the right look, the right color,
serious performance upgrades, excellent workmanship, and the added
value of its original drivetrain and components. Starting with a
low-mile, undamaged original car only adds to its desirability and
makes this build even more special.
This is a beautiful, highly desirable mid-year Corvette that
delivers the best of both worlds: timeless 1967 Corvette style with
the power, handling, braking, and drivability of a modern
performance car.
