67 roadster pricing
Hey just looking for some opinions, I've had a few corvettes over the years, had to sell my 67 last year due to a divorce. Now I'm trying to find a replacement, been looking at every ad known to man, and I'm battling a horrible Canadian exchange rate. Found a few prospects and according to the people I know that really follow the market , it is very soft, this does not seem to be reflected in the asking prices that I see . Anyways I have about $60-70,000.00 To spend in US dollars, I'm looking at one car a 67 roadster with all of the original documentation (390 horse 427, four speed) but all of the original drivetrain is missing, it now has a small block , non original m-21 and differential,other than that super clean , no hit body all original car. Just wanted some opinions on what it might be worth to buy as is, and what it might be worth NCRS restored with a datecoded restamped motor.
thanks,
thanks,

If you want a NCRS car DO NOT restamp a date correct engine. It won’t go in your favor. But a car like that would be about 70-90k depending on colors

1967 Convertible 427/390
Dave, it might be tough to beat this one at its current price... but you only have about 3 hours to decide.
This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is finished in Malboro Maroon with a black soft top and was built in March 1967. The car reportedly underwent a body-off restoration from 2002-2005 by it previous owner of 30 years that included new paint, a rebuild of its numbers-matching 427ci V8, fresh interior pieces, and more. The current owner acquired the car for his collection in 2017, and has driven it roughly 200 miles over the course of his ownership. Recent maintenance includes a rebuild of the Holley carburetor in May of this year. This C2 is offered on consignment in Neptune, New Jersey with a removable hardtop, the original order sheet, and a clean New Jersey title in the current owner’s name.

thanks again, I love doing the work myself, and like I say this is a beautiful, one owner no hit, no rust car, in great driving condition now, I think I may be able to get it for around $55,000.00, what do you think? Too much?

A runningand driving 67 no hit car for that price is a bargain

And therein lies the problem with NCRS regarding this. If you admit your engine is a "restoration engine" they will doc you the points. If you keep your mouth shut and it is a good job you will get all of the points. It just begs for you to lie and what most do. When you decide to sell said car if you advertise it with the truth then SOMEONE in the WWW is going to report the car for any further NCRS judging. The whole thing is just stupid.

Sounds to me like you want the'67 convertible that you initially inquired about anyway. At 55K you should buy it since you can do the work yourself.
Since it's a 1 owner car, what did he do with the original drive train? was it destroyed?
Color? That's just for curiosity... none of the '67 colors would make 55 a bad deal on this car according to your description.

Confirmed it was a small block upgraded to a big block and branded it, as should be done to a counterfeit car.
Or took 88 points of the mechanical section for the engine pad which is a less than 2% deduction on a real big block corvette without its original motor but with a date code correct block..
Or something in between.

If not, someone might buy it before you if you wait.
