1967 Corvette Convertible, real deal 427 big block car, in nice dry storage for many many years. Originally optioned with 427-390HP, automatic, side pipes, power brakes and was a radio delete model, crazy group of options! The automatic was removed years ago and converted to a 4-speed, the car was clearly an automatic car originally based on the engine stamp, and the PG designation written on the rear bulkhead. The original automatic radiator is still present with the integral transmission cooler fittings on the passenger side tank. Check out the engine stamp pad, sure looks authentic to me. Originally a Sunfire Yellow car with standard black vinyl interior as indicated by the trim tag, this car suffered some driver side damage years ago and was repaired in the 80' s. It appears that the left front park light panel, left door, left rear fender, left lock pillar, and decklid were replaced. The left lower side fender louvers show some minor repair evidence from the back side, but does not appear to have been replaced. The replacement door is a real one year only 67 door with the lock control knob in the proper location. The body lines appear to be very nice, gaps are nice, hood and headlight fit is very good. Headlight buckets still retain 3 original T3 bulbs, and the dated motors have been removed, cleaned and lubed and ready to install. The car has received a set of stainless sleeved calipers and rebuilt master cylinder in recent years along with the rubber brake line hoses. The engine runs and sounds great, drives and stops. Frame is very solid, only minor rust, picture of front suspension shows typical surface rust flecks for an unrestored 50 year old car. Sorry, no tank sticker, gas tank has been replaced, sure, I wish it had one too!! So, why am I selling this big block Corvette?? I have way to many irons in the fire and other projects that I need to get completed ahead of this one. No, it is not a fire sale, if it doesn' t meet my reserve, I will keep it stashed away until I do have time to get it done. This is probably the most complete, original big block project that is a super easy restoration, or just a quick paint job, minor maintenance, and cleaning for a daily driver. I am timing this auction to coincide with Bloomington Gold at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on June 25-27 since this car is located within 2 hours of the show. I will deliver it to the show free of charge, and the car will be available for inspection the week of the show. I strongly suggest personal inspection or hire a knowledgeable inspector. I am representing this car based on what I see and my personal opinion. There are plenty of very knowledgeable Corvette folks located within a couple of hours from the car. Send your experts to look at this car and let them tell you their opinion. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason, the car is for sale via other channels as well. I have set a reasonable reserve for this desirable 67 Big Block Corvette Convertible. Selling in "as-is" condition, do your homework and inspections, I can provide additional pictures.
