Default 1967 Silver Convertible Big Block-Restored

1967 Corvette Convertible - RECENT, PROFESSIONAL FRAME OFF RESTORATION by Pratt-Miller restorations.
Everything on this Corvette has been restored or replaced as part of this nuts and bolts restoration.
Solid frame was sand blasted, inspected, checked for straitness and dimensional accuracy, powder coated and rebuilt with all new bushings, springs, shocks, trailing arms, rebuilt rear end, and new “Steeroids” power rack and pinion steering.
Schott aluminum wheels (with clear coat) with 215-17 front and 235-17 rear red line tires.
Engine was newly built with 454 block, new Pro Comp Series Big Block aluminum heads with all top line components mated with a new tri power setup. Mated with newly rebuilt 4 speed trans.
Vintage AC
New convertible top and all new interior, rebuilt instrument cluster.
This Corvette was built for driving and showing. Engine was built for best performance for street driving, not drag racing and runs STRONG on the street. Power rack and pinion steering makes this car handle great on the road.
This car is adult owned and never abused. I'm 73 and health issues led me to the decision to offer this car for sale.
Restoration cost was over $100K, asking $94,500

Nice car.... Did you move the parking brake cable bracket on the trailing arms, to the top of the trailing arms, to fit those tires & rims??

Thanks, & good luck with the sale,
Dave

I was able to fit the wheels/tires without moving the parking brake cable because with the 17" rims it puts the wider part of the rim out past where the cable bracket is mounted. With 15" rims you would not be able to fit those tires. I did a mock up before placing the order for the wheels to be sure they would fit! Next time I have the car in the air I will take a photo.

Would stock '67 Rally Wheels and tires still fit the car?

Looks very nice!!!

This car was well thought out. You did well with the 3X2's. Beautiful car and priced fair enough. GLWS
