Gotta be one of the very last C2s built.
Very pretty color combo.

Thanks!
Yes, it was built on the last day of Sting Ray production.
I’ve always wondered what the last day of production was like at the plant. I tell people my car was built with leftover parts that no one wanted that they found lying around the plant. And so they ended up with a white/teal/teal car that wasn’t a
popular combo. <LOL>.

Your car was produced with the same color combo on the exterior. My interior was bright blue. Dennis

But, but, but -- according to a recently closed thread white cars are "less desirable"....
I'm so confused...

BTW, I’m perfectly fine with people thinking white cars suck. That keeps the prices down on the color of cars I like.
I predict that once the population of white cars is reduced because of people painting them black, the value of white cars will start to go up because of their rarity. <LOL>.

Just how close to the very last C2 was your build?

Around $750,000 <LOL>.
Chronologically, my VIN is 22861. The last one is 22940. So 79 cars apart. I don't know how many of these things they can build in a day but I'm guessing my car must have been made very early in the morning of the last day.

Would that be more if it was black?
My back of the envelope calculation comes up with somewhere about 100-125 C2 Corvettes built each working day at St. Louis, but there are way too many variables to be sure.

That's a great color combination and a sharp looking '67 convertible.

I missed buying a white split window with red interior (340hp) from forum member Mike Terry a few years back. He had it at the Old Town NCRS meet and I was on my way to look it over when he sold it 20 minutes before I got there. To a couple of Norwegian guys IIRC...

Wow! White/red SWC. It doesn’t get much better than that for me. But, red/red is right up there with it.
