1967 COPO Corvettes 10?

Charles · #1 07-12-2003, 01:27 AM

There is lots of talk here about the steel cars; any comments about the 1967 COPO Corvettes? Any list of colors and options available? Best known is the silver on red 350 HP soft top delete car. Also a silver on red 427 coupe. A black? on GREEN convertible. Can anyone add to this list? Thanks.

There have been a few dealer cars such as a sunfire yellow '67 convertible with a dark blue interior at some shows. This car was at the NCRS show in Florida last year. It was a s/b 327, p/b, p/w, p/s, heater-radio delete car. ODD indeed! Also in 1966 there were 4 Corvettes sprayed in Trophy Blue with a BIRGHT BLUE interior. This combo was NOT offered by Chevrolet. The man who restored my Corvette has 2 of the 4. The cars were not delete cars they were normal optioned Corvettes with different interiors. They were sold in all of the engine options:

Coupe: 427/450
Coupe: 427/425
Convertible: 427/390
Convertible: 327/350

You can see picture of his 450 car @ http://www.vetteworks.com/prod03.htm

Hello Dan: Thank you for all the information and the link. Great shots of the "work in progress" and the great looking results! It must be a challenge to lower the standards to what the "General" did on the production line. The Mosport Green reminds me of a 1967 Corvette offered a couple of years ago. I seem to remember Terry had a factory Mosport Green Corvette for sale. Another one of the 10 built? Thanks, Charles

This morning when I wrote the reply to your thread I knew I had remembered a COPO 67 silver/red combo that was for sale. In the NCRS "Restorer" magazine about a year + ago, there was one of the 10 COPO cars for sale. They are rare delete cars (no options) for that sell for HUGE amounts of money. This one was going for $120,000 frame off restored but NO documents except COPO sheets. Just like a COPO Camaro, it all depends on how much money you want to spend. I am driving down to Hershey for the NCRS National show tomorrow morning so I will have tons of Racer, and rare Corvette pictures. I am looking to add another plaque to the Duntov Award. Talk soon.

I forgot to add. If your asking this; Mosport Green was the second rarest color next to Black. A Tuxedo Black 1966 Corvette was acutally harder to get then a Mosport Green 1966 Corvette.

hi mosportgreen66,you seem to be up on the vettes and i have a question on a 68 tripower 435hp car,it is a matching number car and this person is asking 35k for it.on a scale of 1 to 10 1 being the best i would rate it at a #4 being it isnt a trailer car but a driver and has all the original drivetrain and engine components.is 35k a fair price for a 68 tripower car?

Hello Dan: The Mosport Green Corvette I mentioned was a 1967 model that was not officially available in that color. The other COPO car was a 1967 Corvette- Black with a Green interior. An oddball combination to be sure.

There was a '67 silver/red L-89 coupe at the Cypress Garden Regional about 8 or 9 years ago. As I recall it scored very well in flight judging.

Hello Chris: Thanks for the information about the L89. I wonder if anyone ever got the Black with a White interior L89 coupe that Car and Driver tested in 1967? Someone found a red L89 convertible missing the engine; they traced it with the S/N. The seller didn't know what he had! Regards
