1967 S/B 4spd Corvette

[Ngtflyr]

I'm going to look at a documented Sunflower Yellow 67 Corvette local car. Supposedly a "survivor" for whatever that's worth, 2nd owner car with original paint, 327/300hp 4spd, black interior, power windows, A/C, Bill of Sale, Tank Sticker, supposedly a lot more paperwork too, hard and soft tops. Claims it is all original except for the gas tank, original numbers matching engine, trans, rear end. He is asking $185K. I will take pictures and if anyone is interested in the car give me a call at 850-543-0221. I know Chevelles and Camaros, NOT a Corvette expert. I may not be able to answer the next few hours because I am flying but should be available this afternoon.

Dave,

-----This Corvette as you described it would have to have about $100000 in the glove compartment for it to be worth that kind of coin!!!..........Bill S

Bill, I was thinking more like $125K in the glove box

Bill,
I know it's not worth that kind of money, they must be fishin. I have the rest of the day off and not many cars pop up around here so thought I would take a look. I will take some pics and if someone is interested they can make an offer. I am not asking for anything out of it just offering it up to any interested parties.

It sounds like a twin to one of my barn find Vettes only mine was a coupe. I think I sold it for 30-35K and today it is worth probably 40-45K

I'd be interested in the small block, 4 spd, air car, but how do you negotiate down that far. Eventualy the owner may may come to his senses but I sure don't want to be the first one to tell him. He's going to think your trying to steal the car and he knows what he's got!

Watched one to many aution telecast IMO.

Guys,

I looked at the car today, will post pics asap. Real Survivor in the truest sense of the word, low mileage, 26013, highly documented, original bill of sale, GMAC paperwork, tank sticker, GM letter of congratulations to the new corvette owner, and more, original owner till 2005, Harry Mann Chevy licence plate brackets, black CA plates, paint was "scuffed, sprayed and polished" in 94. I take that as wet sanded and clear coated? Paint has a few touched up chips on the nose and one on the pass side. Owner has the original tires, original battery, hard top. Only work done to the car supposedly was the paint work, stainless brakes in 81, gas tank in 97, front end work in 69 and 97. Still has chalk marks and paper stickers in various locations.

Trim tag reads 67 467 S3521
402AA 984AA
Vin 194677s10xxxx

Nice piece if someone is looking for a small block 4spd 67 vette.

I will be working on the pics now.

If it's been "scuffed sprayed and polished" it is not a survivor, only a nice original car with a repaint. Try to explain to the guy he has been paying way too much for the rest of the cars in his stable and sorry, but he needs to realize that you dont add the values of all ten of his cars together to find a total price and then divide by ten to find your selling price of one of them. It's a 40 to 60K car with nice documentation, nothing more.

I agree it is not a "survivor" due to the paint work. Had that not been done it would have qualified. The guy claims he really doesn't know what it's worth. I don't as I am no Corvette expert, but I want to learn more in case I do stumble across a deal someday. I believe the guy will take a reasonable offer because he must have a general idea of what it is worth. Especially since he picked it up at an estate sale only two years ago. I am just trying to determine what it's really worth, calling all Corvette experts. So far I'm hearing around $50K. If nothing else I might make him a low ball offer, you never know....

Realistically... you have to look at it from a driving stand point. Its a killer driver. Bottom of the car is dirty, paint is not great, interior has its minor flaws and engine compartment has been fluffed. The best thing about this car is that there is no hesitation to drive it. With a convertible to boot, what is going to stop you? The other plus is the colors, 4spd and paperwork. A smogged up 300hp is no L-71 435hp beast, but its enough power to have fun. I would say leave it up as is, or maybe clean the engine compartment, maybe not. Drive it. When you're bored, sell it. You cannot go wrong with a mid-year Vette, especially a '67 convertible. I've seen frame off restored '67 300hp convertibles with Duntov awards for $150,000+. Drivers at low end are around $35,000. This car will sell all day long at $45-$50k+.

I hope I did not bore anyone... good luck
