SBR's 1967 427/435 Corvette!       #267587 - 04/30/07 11:11 AM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   My handle is SBR and I have been a member for about a year. I have been a Corvette nut since I was a child and my favorites have always been the L88s and 67 435s. Here are some pictures of my car. This car was purchased new from Larsen Chevrolet in Central City NB. The car sat in the showroom for several months because no one wanted the car due to its unusual color combo. They then painted the car Marina blue and were able to sell it. The car was then driven sparingly and was taken to local shows. Fast forward to 1988, Dan Gale inspected the car and after looking at the trim tag, he realized that the car was an originally a black/blue car. He then had the tank sticker dropped to verify the options and colors on the car. The car was restored by Ken and Gary Naber and was sold to a Corvette collector. He then sold it to a teacher on the east coast who sold it to Kenn Funk. I then purchased the car form Kenn and had Nabers rerestore the car. It still retains its original drivetrain and has won a Bloomington Gold certification, an NCRS Top Flight award and the Chevyvettefest Triple Crown award in 2006. I have been told that this is one of only 4 black/blue 67s known to exist. I truly enjoy this website. Best Regards, Steve Bramati Bruce, I forgot to mention that Chris Piscitello was instrumental in the purchase of this car and feel that it is important to mention as he has found all of my cars and has been a great friend over the years. Thanks, Steve -------------------- Bruce Choose Life-Donate! Post Extras:       MosportGreen66 Reged: 11/15/02 Posts: 3663 Loc: New York Re: SBR's 1967 427/435 Corvette!

[Re: 737Driver]       #267600 - 04/30/07 12:04 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Steve, great car. I saw it twice last year, once at Bloomington and once at the Vettefest. It was in the back room of the Vettefest against the wall for those that were at the November show. Chris is the guy with the contacts on '67 Corvettes. He was instrumental in the purchase of my '67 big block, too. I bought it from him. I'm still grateful that was willing to part with the car. The stickers in the window are reproduced by Chris, he made one for 1969 Corvettes from an original that I received when I purchased a car.

I can't imagine the dealer having trouble selling it because of the color. To me it's much more appealing than a Black/Red car. Beautiful piece! -------------------- It's a friendship thing.

Thanks for sharing the car with us at Vettefest and also for the great pictures; this is one jaw-dropping 67! Yes...Chris in indeed "The Man".

[Re: bashton]       #267650 - 04/30/07 03:19 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   I also drooled over this car at the fall Vettefest. It is more than stunning. By the way it was Steve and Chris that found and helped put together my deal on the '67 435 J56 car that I bought while at the Vettefest. Many thanks!! Paul ps. It's now in Houston getting the Nabers "magic" put on it. -------------------- PaulD '64 R-Code Mercury '62 421 SD Catalina '66 L72 Impala SS '66 R-Code Fairlane Post Extras:       KENNY_PASCOE Reged: 11/23/02 Posts: 355 Loc: POUGHKEEPSIE, NY Re: SBR's 1967 427/435 Corvette!
