 AFTER SELLING CLASSIC CARS FOR ALMOST 21 YEARS, IN OUR OPINION, ONE CAR STANDS HEADS ABOVE ANY OTHER COLLECTIBLE AS THE MOST BANG-FOR-THE-BUCK, IN A CLASSIC CAR. IT'S THE 1967 CORVETTE STINGRAY. IT'S NOT JUST THE TIMELESS BEAUTY OR BEING THE LAST OF THE MID-YEAR VETTES BUT, PERFORMANCE IN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION COMBINATION THAT MAKES OR BREAKS GREAT CLASSIC CARS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT'S THE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE DRIVER. THOUGH THERE ARE MANY WHO CLAIM THE BIG BLOCKS ARE THE ONLY WAY TO GO THE TRUE CORVETTE AFFICIENDO SEEKS OUT THE BEST, MOST REFINED PERFORMANCE OPTION CHEVROLET OFFERED AND THAT WOULD BE THE SMALL BLOCK 327 CORVETTE'S. THIS BLEND OF WEIGHT (3020 LBS) HORSEPOWER (327/350) DESIRABILITY AND TRANSMISSION (4-SPEED MUNCIE) MADE FOR THE ULTIMATE CLASSIC CORVETTE EVER PRODUCED. IF YOU'VE EVER OWNED A BIG BLOCK VETTE, YOU KNOW THEY ARE NOSE HEAVY AND TEND TO DROO LIKE A 300 LB. GORILLA. THE SMALL BLOCKS ARE EASIER TO GET PARTS FOR, RUN FASTER OFF THE LINE AND GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE (A FIRST TIME CONSIDERATION IN MANY YEARS). HANDLING? THERE'S NO CONTEST. THIS CAR CAME TO US OUT OF THE PALM BEACHES AND IT'S A REAL BEAUTY FINISHED IN MARINA BLUE WITH WHITE BUCKET SEATS AND SOFT TOP ONLY, IT RECENTLY HAD OVER $8,000 IN UPGRADES TO ORIGINAL PARTS BY EISMANN CORVETTE IN JUPITER, FLORIDA. THE CARING OWNER SAW FIT TO REPLACE OR RESTORE "ANYTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE" RIGHT DOWN TO POLISHED VALVE COVERS ON WHAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD CONSIDER A 'DROP DEAD GORGEOUS" VETTE TO BEGIN WITH. THIS IS A ' NO-HIT CAR' EQUIPPED WITH THE HOLY GRAIL OF ENGINE TRANSMISSION COMBINATIONS THE 327/350 / 4-SPEED OPTION CALLED THE "L-79". IT ALSO CARRIES POWER STEERING , POWER BRAKES, WHITEWALL TIRES, POSITRACTION, ORIGINAL AM/FM RADIO AND 4-SPEED MUNCIE TRANSMISSION. CHEVROLET SOLD 14, 436 CONVERTIBLES IN 1967 BUT, ONLY 6375 WERE BUILT WITH THE L-79 OPTION IN BOTH COUPE AND CONVERTIBLE. TO BOOT, ONLY 3,840 WERE MADE IN MARINA BLUE WHICH IS JUST 17% OF PRODUCTION. THEN NARROW DOWN THE FIELD TO 'NO ACCIDENTS' WITH DESIRABLE OPTIONS AND YOU ARE TALKING A CAR THAT IS ONE OF A HANDFULTHAT STILL EXIST. THIS IS A GREAT RECESSION-PROOF INVESTMENT AND WOULD BE A GREAT GARAGE ASSET FOR ANY COLLECTOR. PRICED $30,000 UNDER LAST YEARS MARKET AT THE NO-BULL 'STIMULUS' PRICE OF $76,500.
