Default 67 350hp sitting for 32years

Just thought I would share this because it's kinda cool. A friend of a friend inherited a 67 350HP car from his brother in law this year after his death. I was contacted because I'm into 67 corvettes, he asked me if I was interested in going through it and getting it road worthy. I told him great timing my lift is empty and have no winter projects! It's a real 350 car and the original engine, trans and rear end are there. My buddy and I saw the build sheet on the tank and will be removing it this weekend. I'll keep you posted. KC

Judging by the engine shot it doesn’t look like it was stored in a dry place. Looks like a fun project

I see white overspray on the front bumper bracket. Was this car always white?

What a great car!!! White / red guts. What color is the soft top? Black? I thought the alarm was a OOGHA horn LOl.
Thanks for the pics, will love to follow the rebuild, Keep us posted

It's also a 4-speed car and I believe the Shriners only bought automatics...

Hi KC,
When you get your project up on your lift please take and post lots of photos of the underside. Looks like you have a good original assembly.

I had one just like it way back when. anti theft alarm. Popups on doors, and hood. And it sounds just like an old fashioned cop siren....very loud.

Default Looks like a real deal with period bubba fixes

The gas line rubber hose to the metal fitting is what we all did 40 years ago...If you took off the metal line to the Holley too often, it would leak, so we all cut it at about 3 inches and put on the rubber hose from the pump.

It was just the way it was done then, I finally replaced the rubber hose in 2009 when I restored the car again....3 rd time.....
