1967 Corvette 327/350hp L79 Coupe (FOR SALE) - 6CM093P

I love me a 67 Coupe, and I love old cars I can drive and not worry about behind me. Well, it's one of them. I've got a 67 Coupe. It has its numbers matching engine. The hood's slightly misleading, but it's got plenty of power. It's solid. The paint's got some bumps and bruises, but this thing is so fun. Come with us as we get you familiar with a new arrival here. We're starting things off up front. Everything appears to line up pretty good. The paint, well, it is not a show car by any means. There's stone chips and spots of touch-up all over this car. This thing could certainly benefit from a paint job, but that doesn't change the way it drives. Yeah, it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck. This thing's got it going on in other departments. Paint is not it. The body though, the body's in good shape. The chrome on these bumpers, these do definitely have some age to them. I'm not certain if they're original or older replacements. They're not banged up. They're just a slight bit of oxidation on top, but from a foot away, they shine quite nicely. We have the Stinger hood fitted on here. It looks cool. That's all it's doing on here. This is not a 427 car. Let me show you what it's got. Hood release works well, and there she is. While it's not a 427 car, it's my favorite small back variation for the 67. It's a L79, 327, 350 horse car. You see the winner's aluminum intake manifold. It's got a nice four barrel carb up underneath here. And this is the numbers matching engine. You see the VIN stamping present on the front of that engine pad. This car is asking for a new hood and a cheap paint job and just drive the wheels off it. One thing as well, this car is now painted Goodwood green. For those of you considering restoration, it was born Marina blue. That would be awfully sexy if you were to restore this car. However, nothing's stopping you from enjoying it the way it sits. Some factory equipment includes power disc brakes and power steering, everything you need. We've got the right hoses, the right clamps, the right Harrison radiator that has been flushed. It's filled with new coolant and new fluids. And this thing's really doing what it's supposed to do quite well. We'll show you how it runs and drives in the next couple of minutes. Let's carry on down this side of the car. Coming down the driver's side, it's good, it's straight. I don't see any cracks in the body over here. We're riding on the correct rallies. It's got some new braking components behind those. We've got the right caps on it. It even calls out the disc brakes. And standing tall on some BFG Silvertown white wall tires. 67 has these unique fender gills. Looks like we have an original mirror on here. Still showing well. And again, the theme of touch-up paint and stone chips. Whoever was holding that paintbrush ought to be flicked in the ear. From a few feet away and a few miles per hour driving by, this thing sure looks slick. Out back is everything it should be. We've got the right amount of tail lamps. No one's had their fun there. At the integrated reverse lamp, the dual exhaust exiting out the lower valance. And this has benefited from a newer replacement exhaust system. Our fuel fill is in the factory location, looking good. Rear glass looks very nice. The molding around that is in great shape. Over here, some more minor imperfections. Bright work around the window opening, the rubber seals here, the felts. In my opinion, don't need to be replaced. Lower body side molding. Has a small nick or two, but overall is in presentable condition. You got another mark in the paint up here on this fender. Now, let's check out the inside. Doors open up well. The door seals themselves, they're still soft, but they're definitely older. The door jams look nice. I think these are the original sill plates. Likely the original door cards, which overall are in good shape on both sides. Now, I'm looking at an oil change sticker that's present in the door jam here. This shows 38,000 miles in November of 1971. I love when we get all the history from start to finish on these cars. However, it's pretty rare that we do. We get clues along the way and the car has to do a lot of the talking sometimes. I noticed the sticker is laid on top of green paint. This car was born blue. It must've been painted before 1971. So it's been this color for a long while. 38,000 miles, well, it shows 48,600 now. Could an argument be made that it's only seen 10,000 miles since, still wearing the same paint? I think that's plausible. And the interior is not worse for wear. I think a lot of these components are original, the carpet, the console, the instruments, the simulated wood steering wheel. So there is certainly a chance it's a 48,000 mile car. Nothing we could ever put in writing. We really wish these cars could talk sometimes. Moving on from that sidebar, the instruments. We have the correct tack for the L79 engine. We know that hasn't been tampered with. We've got a speed over and up to 160 miles per hour and gauges for a fuel level, amp meter, oil pressure, and coolant temp. And this car really has some good options. It has an in-dash clock, has the heater, it has a radio, and it's an AM FM radio. Additionally, power window car. Get a good look at those switches there. And they work like a dream. We have our original glove box door. Has an original tire pressure sticker still hanging on. The courtesy lamp inside that glove box is still working. That's cool to see. The dash appears to be free of cracks. Our speaker grill is not beat up. Shows well, fits in there quite well too. Looking out back, the carpet is likely original and held up sturdy. Nothing we don't like in our rear stowage. It's clean, blank, not full of water. No signs of any repairs being made. We have the removable cushion here. See, there's a little bit of paint beat off of this council, but the good thing is it's not cracked. Sometimes you get down on the elbow too hard here, they split just beyond this opening. The seat belts, I believe to be original, and there it is. They are original belts with the date codes on them. Same story over here on the retractables. About that. Original radio is still playing. All right, instruments appear to be working in front of us here. Turn indicator lighting up on the dash like she should. This thing accelerates really smoothly. Clutch feels great. Gearbox feels nice. Now, they kept it correct with the bias ply tires. They allow the car to sway a little bit more than it needs to, given radials exist today. But aside from that, the steering's tight and sharp. I'm not complaining. I'm just considering areas for potential improvement. I think tires could add to it. However, there's something to be said about the charm of riding on old bias plies. I know someone in the comments will grill me for that, but it's kind of fun sometimes. We're in third gear. This thing runs out nicely. And doing over 50, the wheel stays straight. No crazy vibrations. Car feels like a Corvette in the corners. I love that. Coming into turn two, banging a left. Oh, she feels tight this way as well. I showed you the radio. We got power windows. See how quick that was? The camera might not have caught that, how quick that was. Now this side. Boom. Those are working how they should. We have a heater in here. Oh yeah. Blower motor's working. Before we go, I wanna share some of my thoughts with you on this, and maybe you guys can chime in in the comments. Let us know yours. Personally, I think this car kicks butt the way it sits. You don't need to do anything to enjoy it. Go have fun with it. And when paint looks like this, it inspires some confidence. You'll find yourself reaching for the keys more. Go put miles on this car. Get some more stone chips and be proud of them. Option two, you could respray this car cheaply and make it look far better than it does for not a lot of money, and just keep it as a cool driver, or you could take it to the max and have it all redone back to stock. Given its original drivetrain, how limited the 67 coupes are, I think it warrants that. So any way the cookie crumbles, someone's gonna end up with a great car, and you'll have great opportunity.
