If I'm supposed to post pictures I'm sorry for not doing that. I'm just quickly throwing up interesting things I see to this thread for those who may be interested, or for those who don't have the CL obsession disorder that I do.
Ok, can someone please tell me why this car hasn't sold? The car is not mine. Seriously, I would love to learn from the wealth of knowledge of the CF.
16,000 original miles (hello, that's crazy low), factory A/C, AM/FM, Auto Trans, 327/300 hp, factory wheels, red line tires, recently replaced carpet (3 years ago because it was faded a lot), tank sticker, everything on the car works, it runs and drives great.
I know this car doesn't have some of the possible options that the car could have been made with, but...??? I would think an original 16,000 mile 1967 Corvette (like this one) would sell quickly for over $100,000. But obviously (since the car hasn't sold) I am the only one that thinks this car is worthy of strong consideration.
What am I missing? Please tell me (so I can learn something) why this wasn't sold the day it was listed. Thanks in advance.

I'm asking a genuine question (not a rhetorical question), but what is wrong with the auto transmission?
This question is open to all who wish to answer. Thanks.
Far from from an expert. Though I was a recent buyer. For me... downside beside the auto trans; 300hp, engine compartment doesn't look "excellent", those seat have to be replacements, no under chassis pics (?).
Others here would point you to the the Corvette DNA App.

The Corvette is a sports car and for 80 years a proper sports car involved a manual transmission on the floor. Mostly but not always.
Corvettes sold with automatic transmissions were ordered with base or lower HP motors and were owed by women or girly-men. Mostly but not always.
Many Corvettes with automatics were also equipped with air conditioning which is a much coveted option on a C2 and brings up the value significantly, automatic notwithstanding. Funny, when I was a kid, ANY car we had, muscle car or otherwise, Corvettes, you name it, the A/C was sawed out and chucked in the can to "save weight." Mostly and always.
Mopar muscle cars were often equipped with automatics, the 727 being the best mixer made and many believed it could outshift a manual so it does not hurt. Same is true with some others, a Buick GS with a THM400 comes to mind, no one would throw one of them out of bed.
But a Corvette with an automatic? "Say, your wife has a nice car...hey your sister or girlfriend was sweet to loan you her car.....never learned to drive stick?" Mostly but not always.
Lastly, The C2 received the new 396 in April of 65 but not the new THM400 which was too big and in too short supply for use in a Corvette. The Powerglide was a 2 speed with a tall first gear that made for leisurely takeoffs. It was an excellent transmission, among the toughest ever devised and extensively used in racing because it shifted only once.
But...in a C2 Corvette the combination of girlliness and lower HP engines/performance dampens value, mostly but not always.
”original knock off MAGNESIUM wheels” - on a 63 no less! Wow - must be VERY rare!
And I thought aluminum wheels were a tough sell on 63s, but original magnesium wheels? Beside the minor fact that they never existed, I can’t imagine the difficulty in keeping the spinners from loosening daily...
On a production vehicle, this would be death trap of the highest degree...

Not sure why it has been posted on many various cities craigslist ads across the country. From the phone number listed I believe that this car is or was owned by a forum member.
