This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was first delivered to G.K. Chevrolet of Downers Grove, Illinois, and the current owner acquired it in 2017. The car is powered by a 327ci L79 V8 linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a replacement Positraction differential, and equipment includes a removable hardtop, a white convertible soft top, 15″ Rally wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, side-exit exhaust pipes, a cabin heater, an AM/FM radio, chrome bumpers, and retractable headlights. Work under current ownership included replacing braking and suspension components as well as the distributor, rear main seal, oil pan and valve cover gaskets, thermostat, heater and radiator hoses, and more. The car is refinished in maroon over white and black upholstery. This C2 is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with an NCRS Shipping Data Report, a hard top stand and cover, the owner’s manual, service records, spare parts, reproduction labels and decals, Corvette literature, and a clean Washington title.
The fiberglass body was finished at the factory in Marlboro Maroon (988), and it is said to have been at least partially refinished under previous ownership. Features include a removable hardtop, a white convertible soft top, a domed hood, retractable headlights, chrome split bumperettes, fender vents, a driver-side mirror, and a side-exit exhaust system with heat shields.
The 15″ Rally wheels wear chrome trim rings and center caps and were mounted with 205/75 Hankook Optimo tires in 2017. The car features a fully independent suspension, with upper and lower control arms at the front and a three-link setup with a transverse leaf spring at the rear. The shocks, wheel bearings, and front-end bushings were replaced in 2017, and the upper and lower control arms, ball joints and bushings, tie rod ends, a stabilizer bar link kit, and steering damper were replaced in 2018. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs and the front pads, front calipers, rear rotors, and parking brake shoes were replaced under current ownership.
The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in white as well as color-coordinated door panels and a black dashboard and carpets. Amenities include a heater, a vertical push-button AM/FM radio, and lap belts. The carpeting was replaced under previous ownership, and the shifter boot and console trim were replaced in 2018.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The gauges and the analog clock were refurbished in 2019. The five-digit odometer shows 49k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership.
The 327ci L79 V8 is equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 350 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. Maintenance under current ownership included the replacement of the distributor, spark plugs, radiator hoses, heater hoses, heater expansion tank, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, rear main seal, timing cover, thermostat, and vacuum advance, and the radiator and distributor were rebuilt. The battery was replaced in 2024.
The engine stamping is shown above. The HT suffix corresponds with a 350-horsepower, 327ci L79 V8 for use with a manual transmission.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a replacement Positraction differential. The axle shaft U-joints and the side bearings and seals were replaced under current ownership.
