Model year 1967 marked the pinnacle of the second- generation Corvette. With third-generation production facing a one-year delay, the second-generation Corvette continued into 1967 with the cleanest look yet, enhanced by the addition of three-piece Rally wheels as standard equipment. This final iteration of the second-generation Corvette has become a collector favorite, especially in the form of this award-winning convertible, one of only 198 produced that year with its combination of its matching- numbers L36 427/390 HP big-block V-8 engine and factory air conditioning. Adding to that rare pairing are its optional matching-numbers M20 wide ratio 4-speed manual transmission and matching-numbers 3.36:1 G81 Positraction rear end, presenting potential collectors with an exclusive and very desirable example. Produced on February 1, 1967, and delivered to O’Meara Scutt Motor Co. in Angleton, Texas, it wears Marina Blue paint with a black stinger, a matching blue vinyl interior and a black soft top, and it’s further equipped with transistorized ignition and an AM/FM radio. Offered with the factory original body and trim tag intact and 49,926 actual miles on the odometer, the car received an outstanding body-on restoration. The car’s many factory correct components include the spare, seat belts, washer system, shifter, shielding, braided wires, air cleaner, alternator, distributor, hoses, clamps, No. 3811 carburetor, valve covers, starter, exhaust heat shields, gas door assembly, glovebox door and T3 headlights. The overall quality of the restoration was such that it appears as if it was a body-off restoration, an evaluation reflected in the Corvette receiving the NCRS Top Flight Award in 2015 with an overall score of 97.6 percent. This high- quality, big-block, factory air convertible is well documented with an NCRS/GM-validated scanned copy of the original tank sticker, NCRS/GM Shipping Data Report, title search and owner history back to 1973, NCRS Top Flight Award certificate, 2016-2019 maintenance receipts ($9,319), a 26-page prepurchase inspection report dated July 2021, an owner’s manual, a sales brochure and a three-ring binder.
