One-of-One
It goes without saying that any 1967 Corvette equipped with the tri-power 427/435hp option is a highly desirable vehicle. These cars are, for many, the peak of this legendary car's existence. So when we spotted this incredibly unique example over at Mecum Auctions, we knew that it was worth taking a closer look at.
Rare Combo

Narrow It Down
It's not like Sunfire Yellow was a terribly popular color on '67 Corvettes, to begin with. Only a little over 10% of them (2,325 of 22,940) came with this particular hue. And that number dips even further when you consider total convertible production of 14,436.

Making a Case
So if you're into the color yellow or rare 'Vettes in general, this one should be right up your alley. But this '67 is a particularly nice ride in its own right. With just 40,000 miles on the clock and a Bloomington Gold Survivor certification, it would make a great addition to any collection.

This particular 'Vette also comes with a complete owner history from the time it was brand new and still sports the original tank sticker and Protect-O-Plate. Plus, outside of the engine and color choices, it also packs a host of nice options.
