Yet another..... 1967 L79 Corvette, 2 tops, 19k miles

That car really is spectacular.

Tim,

Since you are on a roll with the ‘67 Corvettes I have a question.

It seems the vast majority of ‘67 have the Rally wheels.
Were the one year aluminum bolt ons not ordered as much for a certain reason (price ?) as I think they are a very good looking exotic wheel especially on a coupe.

Thanks, Chris

Wait for the next chapter 😉

I think the answer is twofold. The aluminum wheels were pretty expensive at $263-it was only $200 to get the 390hp 427. The Rally Wheels were a brand new design in 1967, looked pretty cool and exotic in their own right, and were already there for $0 more. Expensive upgrade and a much better base wheel results in just 720 out of 22,940 being optioned with bolt-ons. And now there’s money to check off the 435hp option

Aside from shooting a video for this car and a couple of small items, it's a wrap!





I'll be posting the car for sale here before pursuing other venues. Feel free to reach out if you have any interest!
