1967 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Resto-Mod is a beautifully executed example of what many enthusiasts dream of when they imagine the ultimate C2 Corvette: classic mid-year styling, a stunning factory color combination, and the kind of modern performance and drivability that makes the car an absolute pleasure to use.

What makes this Corvette especially appealing is that it started life as a low actual mile, undamaged original example before its transformation. Rather than beginning with a tired or heavily altered car, this build was based on a solid, well-preserved Corvette with excellent bones. That foundation shows throughout the finished product and gives the car a level of integrity that separates it from many resto-mod builds.

Finished in its original Lyndale Blue, this Corvette has the look, presence, and elegance that made the 1967 model year so special. The paint is beautiful, the body lines are excellent, and the car has that unmistakable final-year C2 Corvette attitude. Inside, the exceptional Black leather interior gives the car a rich, clean, and purposeful appearance that perfectly complements the exterior color.

Under the hood is a crate LS3 V8 engine, paired with a crate Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. The result is a Corvette that retains the soul and excitement of a classic American sports car, but with modern power, reliability, and performance. It starts, runs, shifts, and drives with the kind of confidence that makes this car feel just as comfortable on a weekend cruise as it would on a spirited back-road drive.

The suspension has been completely transformed with a full Van Steel tubular A-arm coil-over front and rear suspension system, featuring Ultraride shocks and a 1 1/8-inch front sway bar. Steering has been upgraded with a Borgeson power steering box, and stopping power comes from all-new upgraded power four-wheel disc brakes. These improvements give the car a much more modern, planted, and responsive feel while still preserving the legendary C2 Corvette experience.

The stance is excellent, thanks to custom chrome Rallye-style wheels measuring 17 x 7 inches in the front and 17 x 8 inches in the rear, wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza radials with 225/45R17 tires up front and 245/45R17 tires in the rear. The look is tasteful and classic, while the wheel and tire package gives the car the grip and presence a build of this caliber deserves.

One of the great bonuses with this Corvette is that it comes with its complete numbers-matching 327/300 horsepower V8 engine and original 4-speed transmission. Also included are the original suspension, brakes, and original factory Rallye wheels and tires. That makes this car especially appealing for someone who wants the modern driving experience while still retaining the original components that belong with the car.

If you have been looking for a modern driving version of the pinnacle of the C2 Corvette, this 1967 Corvette Convertible is a truly outstanding example. It has the right look, the right color, serious performance upgrades, excellent workmanship, and the added value of its original drivetrain and components. Starting with a low-mile, undamaged original car only adds to its desirability and makes this build even more special.

This is a beautiful, highly desirable mid-year Corvette that delivers the best of both worlds: timeless 1967 Corvette style with the power, handling, braking, and drivability of a modern performance car.
