1967 Chevrolet Corvette
Vehicle Details1967 Corvette Convertible. Nostalgic drag car with vintage painted livery. Raced in the 70s and 80s winning many races. Past winner of the NHRA Nationals. The "Virginia Gentleman" was well-known up and down the East Coast, and driver John Boughers was often considered the "Oldest Man in Drag Racing" recording times in the 9s.
The car was show-cased at the Corvette Museum and appeared in several magazines including Car Craft, Hot Rod and Hot Rodding. It also appeared at the World of Wheels.
This was originally a fully optioned 1967 Corvette convertible with an automatic transmission, power windows and the rare air condition (AC) option. The original tank sticker is still on the car. Originally green in color, it was painted red in the early 80s at the request of a new sponsor at the time...Champion Spark Plugs.
Additional race/performance upgrades included a 620 hp small block Chevy (13:1 compression), ATI transmission with trans brake, indestructible spooled rear end and roll cage. Note that the car is NOT tubbed.
