"1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
Harley Earl, the designer of the Corvette, initially designed his roadster under the name ""Project Opel"". The original target price point was a mere $2,000. There's a bit of resemblance between early Corvettes and the Jaguar XK120 due to Harley Earl drawing some inspiration from the classic Jaguar. The first Corvette retailed for $3,513 in 1953. Adjusted for inflation, that's an affordable $31,608! Myron Scott, who worked as a photographer for Chevrolet, named the Corvette after a small warship of the same designation.
For consignment, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible showing 1,797 miles but true miles are unknown, in part, due to an inoperable odometer. This is a numbers matching example and it's entirely possible that Earl, who died in 1969, laid eyes on this stunner and its 327ci V8.
Exterior
Two stage Lynndale Blue Metallic glimmers in better than new condition. The body lines include a central, pointed bulge over the hood complemented by raised fender caps and hidden headlights keep things streamlined over the front. Five functional vertical louvers are found on the fenders and in epic fashion, resemble the gills of a shark. The side pipes and their heat shields are in very fine condition as is the metal trim and wrap around bumpers on the car. Blue canvas of the soft top blends nicely with the body and retains a clear, plastic rear window. 15-inch turbine style wheels carry red line tires and the crossed flag emblems at both ends bring in another touch of red. The body, paint and trim are excellent with imperfections noted as inclusions in the clear, remnant gasket material on the tonneau, a chip on the door, scuffs, scratches and various chips.
Interior
Simple, smooth, and stylish door panels in Teal Blue plastic and vinyl greet those who enter this car and both doors have a touch of staining but are otherwise intact. There is nothing out of place, no ostentatious ornamental elements, just the basic controls for the business of driving. Low back blue vinyl bucket seats sit squarely with the back and are in great shape and the fully carpeted luggage area looks showroom fresh. The brown rimmed steering wheel is triple spoked and features the cross flag emblem in the center and the instrument panel is ""a devotee's delight, safety padded and vinyl covered and replete with those instruments so important to the serious driver,"" according to the sales brochure. The center stack waterfall contains a race inspired clock, control knobs, and the AM/FM radio while the chrome shifter sits in an unblemished base with a gear diagram and parking brake just behind it. Blue loop style carpet is in excellent condition and is protected by factory style plastic overlay.
Drivetrain
Looking showroom fresh under the hood is the numbers matching 327ci V8 with 300 horsepower and a 4-barrel carburetor backed by its numbers matching Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear axle with 3.36 gears and Positraction.
Undercarriage
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a spotless underside! Here you'll find disc brakes on all four wheels, dual exhaust that go east and west into side pipes, and suspension consisting of coil springs up front and Corvette's system of a frame mounted differential, tubular axle drive shafts, transverse strut rods, torque control arms, and transverse leaf springs in back.
Drive-Ability
We fire up this stock specimen up and roll some blue across the test loop. There are no surprises here and while Corvettes have come a long way in 60 years, there's nothing quite like the visuals of classic '67 Corvette on the road. It does everything well and other than the odometer and trip odometer, all functions operate as intended and it's time to put this one under the lights. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Here's a spectacular example of a special car and while there's no such thing as a perfect car, this one comes close in our book, and would make a fine addition to your collection, or as the first specialty car to get the ball rolling on a collection. Lynndale Blue was named after Lynndale Farms Raceway, a short lived road racing track in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, and now you know, the rest of the story!
