Default 1966 Corvette 427 Coupe Barn Find

CE engine, Original 427/425 Big Block Car. CE 425/427 engine built to L88 specs, runs on pump gas, Hurst Shifter, M21 transmission, 1967 seats, 1967 back up lights, third tail light added.

Located in upstate NY. Original Nassau Blue [painted another factory Chevrolet lighter blue color, very decent paint and finish], black [standard on trim tag] vinyl interior. Factory tinted glass, Power brakes. Original nose; Small flared wheel wells front and rear [below the bonding strips and the fronts are not cut into the original inner surround] on original body, solid frame and birdcage. All gauges work but the RPM gauge [HEI dist]. Rear bumpers are good, I do not have the fronts.

This Corvette went on a long trip before it was carefully stored. It runs and drives and is ready to be a driver or put back to original again. This Corvette was always treated with care and before it was in my private collection; it was previously owned by an enthusiast; no winters or bad weather of any kind ever, I know all of the history on the car. Clear NYS title in hand.

$29900

Serious buyers only please.

In fairness to Ty, the initial post was edited. Maybe to give some more info.

Looks like a lot of car for the money.

Thank you. This one was done in the very early 70's by the last owner. He loved the car and it showed, it was very well taken care of.

========================================
57vette:

I know it seems excessive, but can you have enough information about spending $30,000 in this Economy?

I will always send a local inspector out also because another set of eyes never hurts.

I have never had a Vette (Though have always wanted a C2) but until now the price of them has usually been more than I was willing to spend. I have a business I have been nursing and growing for the last 17 years and before this, I was always taking the cash and reinvesting it so someday I could own one and not have to live in it.

Amazingly enough there are several on the market that are really nice looking for the money, and like everything else, I am gathering information so I can buy what's best for my situation.

So far there are 4 I am seriously looking at, and I will buy least one maybe two. (3 Coupes and 1 Convertible) At this point in time I think there are many bad places to put money, but while having fun, and realizing a long desire to own one, this seems like a decent time to make the purchase, and possibly retain the bulk of the money I've put into it in the long run.

I might be wrong, but despite how it may look, I'm trying to be smart with the purchase and not let my desire over rule my judgement. (I know that's a Boring way to look at it)

Were it up to me (In my mind "Emotionally) Several C2's, a Pantara, a GT 40, 69 Camaro, 69 Mach 1 Mustang etc. etc. would be just several of the "Toys" I would love to play with.

Don't know where I would live, but that spoils the dream.

I hope this makes better sense now, and at the very least there is more information available to help the seller find a buyer.

Your thoughts?

Ty

Looks like Chevy Vega blue to me. Seems a crime to paint that over Nassau Blue, but people did things like that back in the day. Probably a woman owned it.

Looking at the Tach, would the Big Block Cars safely spin up to 6500 rpm's?

Don't know where I would live, but that spoils the dream.



Unfortunately there are alot of " DREAMERS " out there and with the economy flopping the way it has serious buyers are very cautious.

It states the car was part of a collection... Where does the barn find come into play ? Is everything a BARN FIND ? Maybe this applies to unattached garages.... then I understand.

Fender flares, six tail lights.... It wouldn't fit in my " Barn " For what the market is if one does the work it would be a solid driver.

Now, the guy with the extra cash, please step forward so we can save this one from going back in the barn.
