Steve or Chris could probably verify this, but I believe that the dealer painted the black coupe blue to sell it when it was new. I can't believe that this pretty color combination was hard to sell, but it may have been.

Steve, is your blk/blue car a 435? A buddy has one that is not one of the known four, bought it new, still has it.

I can't understand why that color combo wouldn't sell in 1967 its beautiful I have never seen it before I love it.

Although I remember my father taking me to see these Vettes at the Chevy dealership when they were new and I don't remember them coming from the factory anywhere near that nice? My father ended up buying a 427 Impala thinking it was a better value then the "high priced" Vette at the time.

That is a spectacular resto on that car holy cow.

There was also another black and blue 1967 Corvette around. This was a 435 convertible with 30k offered by Corvette Enterprise in the early 90's. Who has that one today?

See the pic of the black/blue 435 conv. on page 5, it could be the same car. It is owned by a gentleman in Ohio.

Lance,
I would l love to see your friends car and if it is for sale I would be interested if it is a no stories car. The coupe is a 435.
Les,
Thanks for the compliment, it is a truly stunning Corvette. I am glad it went to a good home.
