This car is a SURVIVOR although most people think it has been restored. I DO have the TANK STICKER, ALL options and Color's are CORRECT. Black was VERY RARE in '67. The ENGINE, TRANSMISSION and REAR END is ORIGINAL!!! I have OWNED this Vette since 1980 and RARELY Drove it. This car is SCARY/FAST!!! Unfortunately I am ONLY Parting with this car because I found Something ELSE.. This car Needs NOTHING.. Priced at $64,900 Any Questions feel free to e-mail me. Mark

getting alot of e-mails and here's somemore information.. The DRIVE-TRAIN is ORIGINAL--the one that LEFT the FACTORY with!! When I bought this car in 1980 it was like a BRAND NEW CAR all I did was Show it. This Car Has NEVER Been RESTORED!! When I bought it the paint was so Nice that I assume that it must have been repainted as the cars were originally painted poorly from the factory. About a year ago Phil Borris detailed the engine compartment for me. Anything more please just post or e-mail me. Thanks, Mark

Mark,

I forgot to ask in the PM. Does the car have side pipes or rear exhaust? In 1967 Corvettes could either have come from the St. Louis or the AO Smith plant. If you have an AO Smith built car, it CANNOT have side pipes. The only cars to have side pipes, were the Corvettes that were built at the St. Louis plant. This is probably a stretch, but when the dealer took off the stock intake manifold, carb, air cleaner, and air cleaner cover, did they happen to give it back to the original owner? Tell your son to take a picture of the engine pad, and all the documentation you have for the car. Thank you very much! Its about time we got some Corvettes for sale. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Wish I knew about the car, I just bought a '67 427 Benchmark car at the NCRS show in Waco on Saturday.
Also, Due to complications on the hood stripe, the 427 cars were only produced at the St. Louis plant. I never knew about the side pipe issue at AO Smith.

TimG,

I will have to check this out. I have it in my notes from my car's restoration somewhere. I'll get back to you later in the week. Assuming Mark's car is everything he claims it to be (He is an honest guy!) then I bet your kicking yourself! 435 cars are bringing huge amounts of money. Restored/unrestored/original motor or not. I would like to see your car though - Corvettes seem to be in hinding at this board.

I bought one of the Corvettes that Chris Piscitello owns.
He has 12 '67 427 Bloomington Gold cars in total and wanted to sell a few. This car was not one he brought to the show.
Olredalert, yes, I was standing there as Gary Summerville unloaded that beautiful fuelie. The car is stunning and went Top Flight.
He said they were still putting parts on the car up to the time they left. He sure knows lots about those fuelie cars. A friend with a '65 fuelie had the unit rebuilt and it would not start, he worked for a week on the thing with no luck. Within a few minutes, Gary had the problem figured out.

Tim,

-----Chris is a very good friend,as is Joe D.Im envious.Chris had mentioned to me that he was going to downsize a bit.Usually that means that the worst will go,but in Chris's case there are no worst 67s,so I know you got an unbelieveable car.Which one were you lucky enough to nab?
-----I knew that the fuelie would make a good car as it was never hit or damaged and the original engine had never been out of the car.It just took a guy like Gary to see the resto thru to conclusion.He needs to change the front springs out for a better height and then the car will be perfect!
-----Once again,congratulations!........Bill S

Yes, the front needed to be lowered a bit. It is one of the most beautiful cars I have seen.
I purchased the yellow/black 427/390 horse four speed convertible car. It has the window sticker, tank sticker, POP, dealer sales invoice and is Bloomington Gold, Bloomington Survivor and Bloomington Benchmark car.
As it has never been flignt judged, I want to do that and
have it Bow Tie judged also.

Sounds like a great piece. I love to see original Vettes. Brings me back to the day I found my Corvette. Just sitting in a showroom after being stored for 25 years. Don't let the NCRS judges get to you! I have a friend owns a 1981 Corvette. He bought the car from the original owner with only 2200 miles. The original tires were still on the car. The only bad thing was the car was stored outside its whole life. He did a frame off restoration after a 3 star Bow-Tie. Turns out in 1981 the paint for the Corvette was the worst paint ever in its history. NCRS show after show he gets MAJOR points taken off being the car is 'Too Shiny.' Makes me laugh every time!

Mark,

I am sorry but because of my COPO Camaro chase I am going to have to let this one go. Good luck selling it! Let us know where she ends up.

Mark You are right about the NCRS you can not let them get to you Our vette recived top flight but they took points off because the engine compartment was to clean ?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif I just look at the guy and laugh /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I have not been back since

We just had a great NCRS event at Waco last weekend and I was lucky enough to judge the chassis on all 15 1967 Corvettes. The chassis included the frame, front and rear suspension, the master cylinder, radiator and radiator support, under hood and inner fenders. I know that we did make some deductions on some of these items being to glossy.
There were some amazing cars presented for judging and I recall one in particular that had the bottom of the hood painted in a gloss black, semi gloss is correct.
These point deductions are minor, we made a one point deduction for the glossy paint, this is out of 4,500 points. I know that NCRS would not make a deduction for something being too clean, too glossy, yes. There is a catagory at the end of the sheet for overall cleanliness and the only time there is a deduction is if there is dirt or grease. Don't be discouraged by one event, bring your car back for many judgings. It really takes about five events to really get an accurate feel for your car.

Under the hood of the Corvette, for 1965-66-67 corvettes, there is a strip of paint on the edge of the hood that should be body color. Well, when my Corvette was repainted the painter made that line 'Too Straight' so I got points off. I got 30+ off on the engine comparment, but ONLY 13 off on the interior. We kept everything original. Seats, dash, seat belts, gagues, teak wood wheel, floor mats - the only thing that needed replacement was the headliner and carpets.

Mark, If the car does not sell here try the NCRS Driveline.

I have been to a lot of shows and even judge a few But when it come to corvettes people
Seem to get a little nuts I seen guy pull up in a closed trailer and then push the car off because he did not what to start it up I ask guy why and he said he did not what the tail pipes getting dirty??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif (now thats nuts)some take judging way to seriously I feel if you cant drive it what good is it just to look at I can not see going nuts trying for the perfect car because there will all ways be some one that will pull it a part
Dan like you said about the paint on the hood no mater how hard you try when it come to Corvettes there are no perfect cars
