| 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L36 Convertible For Sale 427/390hp L36 * 4-Speed Manual * Factory A/C * 3.08 Positraction * Power Steering * Power Brakes * Power Windows * Body-Off Restoration * Highly Documented This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is an exceptionally well-optioned, highly documented big-block example that has recently undergone a comprehensive body-off restoration and presents essentially like a brand-new 1967 Corvette. Finished in its factory-correct Goodwood Green over a White and Black vinyl interior, this Corvette combines one of the most beautiful color combinations offered in 1967 with Chevrolet's legendary 427/390hp L36 big-block V8, a 4-speed manual transmission, factory air conditioning, Positraction, power steering, power brakes, power windows, and an impressive list of additional factory equipment. Pasted markdown Just as impressive as the restoration is the car's provenance. This Corvette is accompanied by an outstanding collection of original documentation, including the original Window Sticker, original Protect-O-Plate, original Bill of Sale, original dealer invoice, Corvette Order Copy, and the original Tank Sticker still attached to the original fuel tank. For a restored midyear Corvette, particularly a factory big-block car with this level of equipment, that is an exceptional documentation package. VIN & Trim Tag The VIN is: 194677S119397 Decoded: - 1 - Chevrolet - 94 - Corvette - 67 - Convertible - 7 - 1967 model year - S - St. Louis Assembly Plant - 119397 - Production sequence The trim tag reads: STYLE 67 467 1967 Corvette Convertible BODY S8254 St. Louis body number 8254 TRIM 455BB White vinyl interior with Black accents PAINT 983AA Goodwood Green J24 May 24, 1967 body-build date The trim tag therefore confirms that this Corvette was originally produced as a Goodwood Green Convertible with White and Black interior trim, exactly as it has been restored today. Pasted markdown Documented 427/390hp L36 Big Block At the heart of the car is Chevrolet's legendary L36 427ci Turbo-Jet V8 rated at 390 horsepower, as documented by the Corvette Order Copy. The L36 was Chevrolet's hydraulic-lifter 427 and delivered massive torque and excellent street manners while retaining the unmistakable character of a big-block Corvette. The engine stamping visible on the pad appears to read: T0503IL Which decodes as: - T - Tonawanda Engine Plant - 0503 - May 3 assembly date - IL - Correct suffix for a 1967 Corvette 427/390hp with manual transmission The engine pad also displays a VIN derivative corresponding to the car's serial number, further connecting the engine to this Corvette. The May 3 engine assembly date also falls appropriately ahead of the Corvette's late-May body-build date. Pasted markdown 4-Speed Manual Transmission Backing the big block is the factory-specification 4-speed manual transmission, as documented on the Corvette Order Copy. The transmission stamping and casting information shown on the car are consistent with a 1967-era Muncie unit and fall within the proper production timeframe for the Corvette. A 427 Corvette with a 4-speed is already a tremendous combination, but what makes this car especially interesting is the extensive comfort and convenience equipment ordered along with the performance drivetrain. Pasted markdown 3.08 Positraction Rear Axle The Corvette Order Copy further confirms a: 3.08 Positraction Rear Axle The 3.08 gearing takes advantage of the 427's abundant torque while providing a more relaxed cruising character than the aggressive rear-end ratios commonly associated with big-block Corvettes. Combined with the 4-speed manual transmission, it gives this car an excellent balance between traditional big-block performance and real-world highway usability. Pasted markdown Factory Four-Season Air Conditioning One of the most desirable options on this Corvette is its factory C60 Four-Season Air Conditioning. Factory air was a significant option in 1967, and its presence on a 427/390hp 4-speed Corvette makes this car particularly appealing as a high-performance grand touring example. The factory Order Copy clearly lists the Four-Season Air Conditioning system as part of the car's original equipment. Pasted markdown Extensive Factory Equipment The Corvette Order Copy provides an unusually detailed picture of how this car was originally ordered. Factory equipment includes: - L36 427/390hp Turbo-Jet V8 - 4-speed manual transmission - 3.08 Positraction rear axle - Four-Season factory air conditioning - Transistor ignition - Power steering - Power brakes - Power windows - Telescopic steering column - Speed warning indicator - Soft Ray tinted glass - Pushbutton AM/FM radio - White convertible soft top - Auxiliary hardtop - Black vinyl-covered hardtop - 7.75x15 whitewall tires Rather than being ordered simply as a stripped-down performance car, this Corvette was configured as a sophisticated high-performance touring car with many of Chevrolet's most desirable comfort, convenience, and performance options. Pasted markdown Goodwood Green Exterior The body has been refinished in its original 983AA Goodwood Green, and the color is absolutely spectacular in natural sunlight. The deep metallic green beautifully highlights the sculpted shape of the C2 Corvette, while the contrasting White interior and White convertible top create an especially striking presentation. The complete body-off restoration was carried out with attention not only to appearance, but also to factory-style assembly details and finishes. Throughout the car you'll find details such as: - Correct-style hoses - Correct clamps - Proper shielding - Factory-style plating - Cadmium-finished hardware - Chalk markings - Restoration markings - Correct-style paint overspray - Proper fasteners - Detailed suspension components - Carefully restored engine compartment The result is a Corvette that looks crisp, fresh, and exceptionally detailed from virtually every angle. Pasted markdown Original Body Panels The Corvette is represented as retaining its original body panels, another important consideration when evaluating a high-level midyear Corvette. The body displays all of the classic design elements that made the 1963-1967 Sting Ray one of Chevrolet's most iconic automobiles, including its hidden headlights, pronounced front fenders, distinctive side vents, sculpted rear quarters, and unmistakable Corvette tail treatment. Fit and finish reflect the extensive nature of the restoration. Pasted markdown White & Black Interior The interior has been restored in its factory-correct 455BB White and Black vinyl combination and presents essentially as new. The bright White seating and door panels contrast beautifully against the Goodwood Green exterior, while the Black carpeting, dashboard, instrumentation, and trim provide the correct factory contrast. Interior equipment includes: - White vinyl bucket seats - Black interior accents - Power windows - Telescopic steering column - Speed warning equipment - Factory air conditioning - AM/FM radio - Crisp instrumentation - Restored controls and switchgear - Soft Ray tinted glass The gauges are especially clear and crisp, complementing the fresh appearance of the restored passenger compartment.
