That info was not kept by GM. So any number you find is just a guess. It's rare just leave it at that

815, according to the black book, for 67's. That is a total, including coupes and verts. Pretty rare concidering a total of 22,940 units. Tuxedo black shows as the least popular color for the year.

You are going to need the zone number as well. When you get that go to NCRS.org they have a search were you can find out. While you are they look into getting a judging manual so you can learn even more about your car

Besides the division of convertibles versus coupes, for colors like black, it would be interesting to know how many were big blocks versus small block and how many of each interior color. For black big blocks in 67, most seem to have the red stripe, but there is also a white stripe (stinger) and TWO blues indicated.

For a guess if you take the numbers of coupes/conv. built & % of BB/SB About 3 conv. for every coupe & half of all 67'S wereBB I would say that about 300 would be Black BB Corvettes but it,s a pure guess.

If you want to play the Probability game here it is.
22940 67 Corvettes
62% roadsters = 14223
16.5% 435's = 2347
3.5% Black = 82
So if my math is right there was about 82 Black 435's roadsters built in 1967.
But this is just a Probability and the REAL # maybe much different.
we will never know.
I can tell you this, if you don't have paper work and owner history to go along with the car, it will be questioned.

Tuxedo Black doesn't seem to have been a popular color for any of the mid-years back in the day. I guess folks didn't like the prospect of all the work involved in keeping a black car clean and nice-looking

I was researching my 67 black coupe. If you divide 816 by 50 you get 16.3 black vettes from that year that could have been issued to each state. I figured less than half of those were coupes. So I did a search through the local paper and found what I believe was a photo/ad of my car for sale at a local lot in 1968. Seeing that this was a side pipe car brought even stronger suspicion that this ad was indeed my car. It also helped that the NCRS verified the car was sold here when new. Not an exact science I know.

Plus the fit and finish on original cars wasn't very good and black just made it look worse.But boy those were the best of times.
This picture was take of me in the early 70's after I got out of the service.
This 66 was a loaded air, automatic 300hp that I bought from a Doctor and an "old man" I think he was 50 how young and silly I was.

I was a young man back then and the way I remember it. It wasn't the work, I cleaned my car almost everyday. When I got out of school or off work all the guy's hung out at the gas station and fooled around their cars. Black was an "old mans color" and it just wasn't "cool". Plus the fit and finish on original cars wasn't very good and black just made it look worse.

You are right though, back then they were for old men, police detectives, and hearses. Funny how trends change!
