This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is noted to have remained under prior ownership for approximately 25 years, during which time a restoration was started in 2005 and continued over the next several years, with a significant portion of the work completed between 2016 and 2017. The car was acquired by the current owner in 2023 and the 427ci L71 V8 was fitted with a PerTronix ignition coil along with a replacement thermostat and distributor in 2025. The car is finished in Goodwood Green over Saddle vinyl and equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, a removable hardtop, a Black convertible soft top, 15″ turbine-style wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, side-exit exhaust pipes, a cabin heater, an AM/FM radio, chrome bumpers, and retractable headlights.
The fiberglass body was removed from the frame and refinished in Goodwood Green (983) with a black stinger stripe in 2016 by Eismann’s Corvette Center of Jupiter, Florida. Features include a removable hardtop, a Black convertible soft top, a stinger hood, retractable headlights, chrome split bumperettes, fender vents, a driver-side mirror, and a side-exit exhaust system with heat shields.
The turbine-style 15″ wheels are wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial tires with 2002 date codes. The car features a fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. The suspension was overhauled as part of the aforementioned restoration work. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs.
The cabin features two bucket seats in Saddle vinyl as well as color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Amenities include a heater, a vertical push-button AM/FM radio, an analog clock, and lap belts. A refresh performed in 2016 to 2017 included replacing the carpeting, wiring, and sound deadening material and refinishing trim and interior components.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames restored and rebuilt instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows around 100 miles, approximately 5 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 427ci L71 V8 is equipped with three two-barrel carburetors and was factory rated at 435 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The engine was rebuilt in 2005, and was overhauled between 2016-2017 as part of the refurbishment performed by Eismann’s Corvette Center. The associated invoices provided in the gallery below detail replacing components, refinishing the engine compartment, and more. Service in 2025 included installing a PerTronix ignition coil and replacing the thermostat and distributor.
