Harry's Thoughts
THE ESSENTIALS
This is a 1967 Corvette 427/400 hp Coupe that can be enjoyed immediately as a classic driver or improved as desired. The engine has been upgraded to a high-performance crate 454 CID with 425 hp HO with the triple two-barrel carbs that make it perform brilliantly! Featuring its short throw four speed Muncie M21 manual transmission and side pipe exhausts, it doesn’t get much more fun than this.
The Marlboro Maroon metallic paint has great shine and luster but up close it has lacquer cracking in several areas. It was originally Marina Blue from the factory, and the stainless steel and chrome trim are all in very nice condition. According to the seller, it has a super solid rust-free frame, the body has never sustained damage, and all the bonding strips are in place. Overall, the Corvette is in very nice condition and can be enjoyed as it is or repainted as desired.
The interior is a blend of very nice original and restored. The seats have been replaced with new foam and upholstery in its original black vinyl. The interior is in very nice condition overall and can be readily shown at local and regional shows. The seats are very comfortable as well. All of the instruments work well, including the clock. We love the short throw four speed manual transmission with the big block.
The engine compartment is detailed and looks sharp and is home to the 454/425hp engine with triple two-barrel carbs. The high output 454 cid crate motor was installed in 2015 and produces 425hp not including the tri-power. The valve covers are painted black, and the triple two-barrel carburetors have a freer breathing air cleaner for better performance in every respect. The rear end is said to be an AT Code 3:08 with gearing. The suspension and brakes have been all replaced as needed in 2017 and the Corvette runs and drives beautifully without any clunks, rattles, vibrations or sounds. And the four-speed Muncie transmission shifts perfectly without noises or grinding.
This Corvette comes with all the receipts for the restoration and mechanical work since the owner’s acquisition in California in 2015.
