Define "barn find". How's this story any different than going over a guys house and buying his corvette. If he had advertised it then it would not be a barn find.

I never said Barn Find. What I did say is the barn roof leaked on the car (original owner) sometime between 67 and 74. The second owner repainted it in 1986. The car was in a 50 x 80 heated building with his restored tractors and other cars. That’s when all the rust,rot and in over my head started.

Thanks

Yes he traded it for a IH 574 utility tractor. I guess he needed a tractor and was done with the Corvette. Probably has 10 times the HP than the IH 574 but the vette would look a little Funny with a plow Hooked to it!

What a beautiful Corvette. A red 67 with a 427 is my favorite car of all time.

Congratulations, what a wonderful find, I'm sure you will take excellent care of it.

Thank you for sharing!

Geez, I’d get attached to a shaver I had for 44 years. Great story.
Well said he calls me everyday. He called today and asked in my garage had heat. Worried about his baby!

Default Serious Corvette Buyer

So Friday my cell rings and the gentleman on the other end tells me his name and says he is a Corvette Buyer and wanted to let me know he is a Serious Corvette Buyer and would Love to add my 67 to his collection. He proceeds to ask what I paid for the car. He quickly figured out I would not disclose the purchase price. He then says I bet you paid 45K for the car and I laughed at him. He then said surely you didn’t pay more the 50K for the car as Ohio Corvettes are the worst to buy. I couldn’t believe how cocky and arrogant he was. I replied how can you be a Serious Corvette buyer when you insult people on the telephone. I then asked him for a favor and explained that when he found that barn full of 27K mile 1967 427/400 2 owners since new to call and I will buy all day long. What a piece of work he was!!!

Sorry just Venting

The car is otherwise 100% original with all factory components in place.The original owner is still alive and is now 93.
The car is a 1967 coupe red 427/400 with 4 speed, 27,000 original miles black leather interior S ide pipes that looks like it should be on the dealers showroom floor.
The second owner is 79 years old currently. He showed me the car 2 years ago sitting in a heated barn on his property. I was absolutely amazed at its condition. It is a time capsule that has been impicably stored.
Would anyone be able to help with value. I would like to offer a reasonable amount for the car,but don't really know what the value of a1967 unrestored Corvette would be.

Thanks
If your house is paid off, you might have to mortgage it again.

Apparently not. This might be a contributing factor in my own restoration.
