SBR's 1967 427/435 Corvette!

Strange when you see a black/blue combination and how pretty it is that there weren't tons in that color. How about silver/red with a red stinger and redline tires. Just stunning and there were only a handful of these.

If the "Last Corvette" brought $650k at Barrett Jackson, can you imagine what this beauty would do!

Black on Blue is a helluva combo... love it.
WOW

Steve...thanks so much for sharing your awesome Corvette with all of us.

The back and blue is truly striking...I can't imagine why it wouldn't have sold that way when new?

With the black and blue...it's the true definition of a boulevard 'bruiser'!

I also saw the car at VF and it was without a doubt my favorite Corvette...BKH

Gorgeous example of a fine 67 Vette. I happen to think Black exterior on Blue interior is one of the nicest color combo's you could get in a 67.

+++ STEVE +++, You have one Fantastic car, wonderful color combination, your car is a real Winner, thanks for sharing it with us...Kasey ...

The sweat is from being in the hot Illinois sun all day, not judging.

[SBR]

Chris, it usually is very hot but since they moved the dates last year and this year two weeks earlier it rained for the first time in over thirty years on certification day last year. I would rather sweat than be sitting in the rain. At least they are going back to the original dates starting next year. Again thanks to all for the great compliments on my car.

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
