Here's one we can bat around for awhile-Assuming equal condition and originality what would the value difference be between a 64 365 hp coupe and a 67 300 hp roadster both solid #2 drivers
Personal preference has a lot to do with this as it's coupe vs convertible, high horsepower vs lower horsepower, factor in colors and there's lots to consider.
Coupe vs ragtop diff applies but diminished when comparing a 64 to a 67.
Many would value the 327/300 over the solid lifter 365. 327/300 best ever engine, 327/350 next best. less effort to maintain, perfect manners, plenty of steam for all but the 6,500 rpm daily winders.
then we have a split master and disc brakes, no small option.
Buyer preference, convertible vette vs coupe cave. Color, condition, etc.
I'm sure those of you saying you would pay more for the '64 will soon be contacted by '64 owners willing to sell you theirs for "more than a '67"! Probably VERY few '64s have sold for more than a "comparable" '67 over the past 20-30 years, if any.

Where I am, '67's bring more money than any other year C2. And have for years. I personally like the styling of the '64 interior much better, and I like the outside styling better, too. I do not like the back up light on the '67, and not a huge fan of the many side vents. I still love the '67, and mechanically, it may be the most refined C2.

No two cars are equal. Look closer!
but will add some info I have noticed over the years. The customer base dynamics (constantly changing) has morphed over the years primarily due to their aging. It used to be the vast majority of buyers were performance oriented and the bigger the engine and more performance options the better. Today not so much by comparison. 40 years ago when a good friend and I were buying a lot of hot rods, muscle and sports cars the 1964 coupe or convertible and the 1963 convertibles were at the bottom of the 1953-1967 model Corvettes in terms of price. For C2s the 63 split window and the 67 big blocks were at the top and an automatic was the kiss of death in one of these cars.
The 65-up cars were better liked because of the disc brakes, nicer interiors (molded door panels, seamless carpet) and big block availability. The only exception was the 63 coupe because of the little extra piece of fiberglass in the back. Today more and more buyers don't care what engine they have or what model year of a series. Many due to health problems prefer the auto trans as do the few younger buyer that grew up with automatics. I am not saying that EVERYBODY is like this but certainly more and more as time goes on. and it has an effect on the answer to the OPs question whereas 20-30 years ago the answer was a no brainer in favor of the 67. Some (like myself) that have high octane gas running through their veins are becoming few and far between.
As expected ,wide range of opinions. Seems that the 64s are no longer the mid year step child and are catching up with the others in price. I am considering trading or selling my 67 for a coupe of equal value and just seeking the opinions of other forum members. Thanks for the replies and keep them coming.

I don't think anyone here really knows what time it is. I'd go to a used car lot and see what it could trade for to get the right price differential.
been upgrading my 64 coupe . Disc brakes all drive train rebuild .
25 foot black paint job . New interior install underway . Any c2 coupe deserves all the attention . Can’t afford a 67 coupe L71 so I made my own . Alum head with comp cam. All carbs just restored .

If this helps, there was a reason why Zora Duntov's stated that his favorite corvette and his best build was a 1964. 65 and up went cheap on the interior compared to 63 and 64. I have a 67 tri power vert and 64 coupe 365/ air hands down I would sell the 67 first if I had too
