1967 Chevrolet Corvette 181 Miles Goodwood Green Convertible 327 V8 L79 4 Speed

1967 Chevrolet Corvette -- Additional Info:

Restored to such quality you'd understand if it sat underneath a protective layer of cellophane, this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible will afford some discriminating classic car aficionado the unique chance to own one of Chevy's best drop top offerings of its quintessential American sports car. It's been meticulously restored, features its original drivetrain and fiberglass body, and comes with all the documentation you could ever want as proof of both its originality and the exceptional caliber of materials that went... into the restoration process. 1967 was a great model year for the Corvette. As the last of the model's second generation, it benefitted from all the innovation and research poured into previous models, resulting in a refined appearance that was light years ahead of its time. This 'Vette is an outstanding representative of that generation, as its Goodwood Green paint - its original color - shows a finish and uniformity that can only come from exacting prep work, and everywhere you look, the chrome has been brought back to an impressive, new-looking state. Upon closer inspection, you'll see that the body contours running along both sides line up exceptionally well, along with body panels that sit very flush and doors that open and close very smoothly - an indication of just how well-aligned this Chevy really is. You can't help but crack a smile as you picture yourself behind the wheel of this automotive icon with nothing but blue sky above you. But in less forgiving climate, the manual white convertible top is very well-fitted, raises and lowers easily, and even features a nice clear window in back. For even more protection from the elements, a fiberglass hard top in matching green comes with the car. Take a look inside and you'll see the second half of a very eye-catching color combination. The saddle leather interior not only features a great hue to begin with, one that conveys a definite feeling of luxury, but it's also unusually well-crafted while still mirroring the original configuration this Corvette started out with. Just as you would rightfully expect in a car that's logged under 200 miles since leaving the restoration shop, its bucket seats appear as if they've seen almost no activity, showing no marks or discoloration across their surfaces. There's evidence of just how outstanding this restoration project really is everywhere in this cockpit - the door panels, center console and dash area with its distinct twin-arch design all have a museum quality appearance. When you peer through the stock woodgrain steering wheel, you'll also see that the full assortment of gauges in the instrument cluster looks as good as it did when this car first hit the asphalt. There's an undeniable appeal to a drivetrain left in stock configuration, but it almost always comes at the expense of performance. When that original engine happens to be a much-heralded L79 327 V8, churning out a full 350 horsepower, no such sacrifice must be made. It's paired up with the original 4-speed manual transmission to make for a truly noteworthy classic drivetrain combination. As testimony to just how serious Chevrolet was in making sure their true American sports car stayed well ahead of the competition, they had already gone to a fully independent rear suspension and four wheel disc brakes when this 'Vette came out, so in its stock configuration it's a nimble performer that's also capable of stopping in very short order. Coming with a documented restoration, it's tank sticker still on the tank, and a full list of part codes/date codes, if you're looking for a truly exceptional drop top classic that's been restored to an impeccable stock condition, you have to check out this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible.
