1967 Chevrolet Corvette Base Convertible 2-Door

Since a 1967 corvette L89 original car is out of most people's budget and since there were only 16 L-89 corvettes ever made and however many L89 vettes are left arein private collections and as i said worth 2 to 3 million dollars and if i had an orig L89 car i would be scared to drive it ! Since i couldnt afford to buy an original L89 i have the next best thing! Its to have 1967 Corvette L89 Recreation custom made correcly with correct gm parts. I have been wanting to build a L89 for along time so i started hoarding all the correct parts to make this Recreation a date code casting number correct vette. I have well over $180,000 in buying the vette, parts and finally having it restored ! I had alot of fun and people really like the Vette anywhere i go and has a ton of power and a great sounding side exhaust. I am changing my garage around and going a different direction in cars and thats the only reason im selling it. I have receipts and have a bunch of pictures while the restoration was being performed
You are looking at a very correct professionally Restored 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible / Hardtop Recreated. I had bought a very nice orig 1967 corvette
I started off with a very nice 1967 corvette convertible / hardtop. Its a accident free Damage free body and frame and i drove it for a year until i had it restored. Itsa factory Marina Blue car with a white / light blue interior. Its a low optioned car. The speedo shows the orig mileage of 55,915. The dash is orig and a factory gm big block tach and 80 psi oil pressure gauge was added to be correct. The steering wheel is the factory GM walnut wheel.U69 am/fm radio,The vette comes with the CO7 Auxiliary Hardtop which is also in very nice orig condition. Alot of Gm NoS parts used in the restoration and ihad what ever rebuildable orig parts restored and used very few repop parts in this restoration. The prior owner had really took exceptional care of the vette before i bought it. The paint is about 10 or 12 yrs old and the car does get driven a few thousand miles in the summer so the paint will need touch ups and there are a few small hair line cracks as fiberglass does move. I would just have the paint touched up and detailed. Im not a big car show guy i drive my vehicles but wouldnt take much to get it to the next level ! Can drive anywhere and is very reliable!!! I perfer to have someone interested in buying the car to come inspect it. I have a lift in my garage so you can see everything. Anybody interested please just email or call me.
