Default WTB: '67 Convertible Marina Blue

Looking for a stablemate for my '67 Chevelle SS. Plan to drive the car regularly (not a daily driver, just a weekend cruiser), so not looking for a Top Flight or Gold, but want something that will hold its own at the local shows. Would like it to look original in all respects, but NOM is fine, provided it's done right. Want a 4-speed as well--no automatics. I live in SoCal, so the closer the better. Please PM me if you have one or can point me to one. Thanks!

Corvette is located Orlando FL

Not into back and forth negotiating price is set and firm $61,000. Serious buyers respond back with a contact number I will give you a call. Mid year corvettes are solid investment that will maintain and increase in value and this is especially so for the 1967 model year.

1967 Chevy corvette roadster matching #'s L79 327/350HP 4SPD Side pipes, Power Steering, power brakes with factory Tank Sticker. Corvette has been a frame off, factory correct colors per its original trim tag and tank sticker marina blue with bright blue interior. Rear end gear is a 3:70 posi. Headlight work, blinkers work, factory AM/FM radio works and the Clock as well. Solid turn key driver 67 corvette.

Maybe the hosting site wants a cut?

But you only need to pay me 10% of the money you saved!

That was really a good catch...if that saves me $6K, the least I can do is buy you a nice cold beer or two!

I saw this one yesterday too. Even though it is a NOM car, at $43,500 I thought it is worth checking into. It makes me wonder though why a dealer specializing in Corvettes wouldn't put the effort in to put the interior back together when they state in the ad that most of the parts go with the car. What does everyone else think about this car?

It seems that corvettes of this ilk are in very short supply, and I've yet to see any that fit my key parameters (Marina Blue, Convertible, 4-speed, 327) in the SW (AZ, NV, CA). Does anyone have recent experience shopping for a '67? Any advice? I don't want to get too impatient, but am not sure what expectations I should set for myself regarding their availability. Seems that more of these cars are going off the market each year into private collections and that the available supply is in decline. Also, is there a better time of year to buy? All help/encouragement/suggestions appreciated!

Current price looks to be in the ballpark, assuming the car represents in person like it does in the photos. Saw a similar spec-ed '67 go for $65K at Mecum in Indy today. I left him a message with my number, so if he's serious, hopefully he'll call me back. What did he originally have it listed at?

Called the guy, left a voicemail, never got a call back. Either he sold it or is not particularly motivated...
