Stunning
Absolutely beautiful ‘67. And this coming from a former-NCRS type guy who has come part way over to the creative and fun side.
Sorry you have to part with.
Best of luck with everything.

Great Car.....
So very sorry you have to Sell it.
Reads as your really need to let it go SOON.
Cars like THIS have to be seen, try to get it to a National show, possible a GoodGuys event? Have you attempted Ebay just to get it seen?
Good Luck

and glad to help out. I got an acquaintance from whom I bought 2 Corvettes in the past. This is his garage/museum. Frank lives in nearby Destin FL. I sent him an Email regarding this car to see if he might be interested. Hopefully OP will hear from him. If not, I may in touch once I sell my bay-front lot in Santa Rosa Beach. google: Zillow 400 blk E Shipwreck Rd 32459 for info.

I am shocked that this Restomod has not sold yet Earl.
I have to believe that the car is not getting the exposure to the masses to match it up to its next owner. The Corvette Forum is great but in my humble opinion, not the best place to sell/promote a Restomod - especially one at the level build that you have from Mike because these cars typically do not appeal to this particular audience. Restomod buyers are yuppies, doctors, lawyers, business owners who typically do not wrench on their own cars but have the passion for the classics but need to have the reliability and comfort that a Restomod provides.
If you truly want to sell it, you will need to post the ad in many locations including Ebay if nothing else to cast a larger net.

Price Reduction
Price reduction to $140,00 for summer sale. Took the car out for a shake down and had to turn the A/C down to low. This car is a blast to drive.

The crowd here may not like the auctions or the people who go there to buy, but honestly, that's probably your best bet. When I had my 63 convertible on the street for sale last year, all I got from the forum classified ad was well-wishing and support, but no serious interest at my ask price. When I started advertising more broadly, I finally sold it, but still not for what it was worth. I was talking with Barrett-Jackson about consigning it at Scottsdale when a buyer showed up at my door with cash last fall; so I just took the bird in the hand. If I had done the auction, I probably could have cleared another $15-20K after all the fees and other costs.
Here's my theory...People on this forum tend to be folks who have some knowledge and skill to either build their own or at least do their own general contracting to get something built the way they want, and they are savvy enough about what things cost to know that they can come out better on the money by doing it themselves. They also have very specific ideas for what they want their car to be and are less willing to compromise. Therefore, you're less likely to find a buyer here who wants exactly what you have and/or is willing to pay full market value for something that represents a compromise. If you want top-dollar, you'll need to cast a wider net and do it in areas of the market where you're more likely to find folks willing to part with big money who can't or don't want to invest their time to do it themselves. (i.e. the big auctions...)
GLWS...your car looks great!.

The car is stunning, Mike does outstanding work. Your car is very fairly priced, perhaps even a bit low, but I appreciate your desire to sell.
I can speak for experience about health issues impacting our love for old cars.
Best wishes on a successful sale, and a hope that your car finds the right owner.
You and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers.
