Tim Gilmore's Beautiful 1967 427/435 Corvette

[Xplantdad]

All the stars lined up on this 1967 Corvette roadster; hi-performance options, colors, originality, and paperwork.



This is a red/black NCRS Top Flight and Bloomington Benchmark awarded Corvette (Bloomington Gold and Bloomington Survivor in all four areas).



It came with 12 performance and luxury options that are all documented on the NCRS Verified Tank Sticker and Shippers Copy. It also has the original customer Protect-O-Plate with color and driveline codes embossed on it, so there are three pieces of NCRS verified paperwork. The engine, transmission and rear end are all original and they have not been tampered with.



435 Horsepower 427 Engine (L71)

4 Speed Transmission (M21)

3.70 Posi Traction Rear End (G81)

Transistor Ignition (K66)

Special Suspension (F41)

Off Road Service Exhaust (N11)

Tinted Glass (A01)

Power Windows (A31)

Tinted Windshield (A02)

AM/FM Radio (U69)

Auxiliary Hardtop (CO7)

Power Steering (N40)



This Corvette spent most of its life in Virginia and was ordered along with a similarly optioned maroon ’67 435 horse Corvette roadster that two friends owned. Total miles are only 41,000 and the car has never had any damage, it was obviously driven very carefully over the years.

The original red paint has held up well and the interior is beautiful.

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,
The car looks great. I know that you have wanted this car for a long time and am very happy that you were able to acquire it. Congrats!

Here are some undercarriage and engine shots along with some interior shots. The frame is amazing and the interior is like new, but it’s all original.



The F41 shocks are original and dated. This is the only 425 horse Corvette anyone has seen with power steering, some say the option wasn’t available with the L71, but it is documented on the Shippers Copy and Tank Sheet.



Thank you, again.

Absolutely Beautiful! What a find. When I talked to Tim back in January, he said he was on to something special, boy he was not kidding. Now I know why Tim did not want my old Lynndale Benchmark Roadster from Tom O'Grady when it came up for sale .

----Tim,,,The only other power-steering 435 I know is the bullet hole car.......Bill S

Thank you for the comments, guys.

Where is the bullet hole car these days?

Bill, I was interested in Tom’s car, but this car didn’t steer me away from it. I found kind of a barn fine ’67 350 horse Corvette roadster that’s never been judged or seen at a show. I ended up buying this very original maroon/white Corvette in mid February and had five weeks to prep it for its first ever NCRS judging. It’s first time out, it received a Top Flight award. I think this car will Benchmark and Bow Tie, it’s really fantastic with great paperwork and options.
