Default I would think so

we all have a good Idea of what a 67 427/400 should go for $ big bucks $85-125....and vette hounds have been discussed here before....a basket case thats been on fire goes for about that dollar milage is really low and the trim and vin are not advertised per usual for car of this nature....engine pad is almost always shown as to bonify pedigree
and legit sellers would proudly show off the above mentioned details...but for a kick go ahead and inquie and let us know what you can discover...and ask about payment terms to get some Idea

He forgot to add a zero to that price. No way you could buy that for $27K.

Default 67 L-68 value

Top price on Hagerty value guide (that is usually high) is 143K
for condition 1 and for condition 2 is 122K...if you have desire go ahead and contact them and let us know what you discover..
I agree he forgot to add a ZERO wish full thinking if vettehound tries to get that asking price..run forest

Just a way to get people to knock on the door.

If it was legit, it would be gone by now. There is no way that would be for sale for longer than 15 minutes if advertised on the net with all the folks that buy/sell Corvettes.

"Oh, you're asking about the '67 427 roadster for 27,000, some lucky guy just bought it and drove home right before you got here. But hey, we have another one on the lot, what's your favorite color?"

Not being a smart azz, but if you dont know that is a SCAM, please have someone check a car out for you or post it here for help. You will get burnt if you dont get help.
