Don’t forget the couch cushions!

It was funny. That guy must have done something really stupid. She seems to have gotten the last laugh.

[Liberty Valance]

Just dang ... '67 was a very good year.

IIRC, I read that the first production model of the new Vette was auctioned of a $1.6 mill

The car is beautiful...love red interiors.

That was my thought... who was she?

My parents sold our 1957 Chevy 210 (Green with yellow tails) while I was in college in 1964. Also moved, and didn’t tell me where they went. Plus someone stole some of my stamp collections and lots of valuable trading cards including a complete Green Davey Crockett set.

1964 was not a good year for me.

67’Vet. Great, smooth looking car. Now my old neighbor had a 56 T-Bird (cream white) which he smashed into a wall and lived. Got a pink 57 T bird and I think a 59 vet.

We had a very interesting neighborhood. Also had a beautiful blond next door. Gave Marilyn Monroe a run for her money but we were just friends. Sad story for another day.

Thats not a car, its a Marine’s jewel.

[Pontiac]

The car was purchased by Dr. Mark Davis from the estate in 2012

they're estimating this car to sell between $600,000 and $800,000.

I would be very interested to know what the doctor paid for the car.

Base price in 1967 for a Corvette was about $4,300 - I didn’t see how much options went for, but that’s pretty close to the $5,000 the original owner in the story won in Vegas with some to spare.

I almost bought an old Vette once, a 1958. Problem was it just had a little 283 engine (the original one) and it needed some paint. three hundred bucks just seemed like too much at the time for what it was. I was 17. Yes, I still do kick myself all the time for that. On the bright side, I did buy a “built” 427 for my ‘68 Camaro instead. Had a lot of fun with that.

I don’t know.. once the wheels hit the pavement, the value drops by 30%..

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Base price was $4240.00

22,940 were built in 1967.
1,423 in Ermine White.
2,415 came with the Telescoping steering wheel.

Wish I had more info on the car.

BTW, American car maker underrated HP for insurance purposes.
in 1967, there were four iterations of the 427 motor with the lowest rated at 390 HP and the highest at 435 HP. but it’s well known that the L-88 put out well over 550 HP and ran high 10 second quarter miles on bias ply tires.

Imagine what one could run today in stock trim with some decent rubber on the rear instead of those 7.75” x 15” bias ply tires?

The manufacturer won't have any say in the suggested retail price for that baby

With the low mileage, you think it's still under warranty? Heck, it's not even due for an oil change yet........

[Robert DeLong]

Yes, it was bought by Rick Hendrick who started Hendrick Motorsports a stock car racing team.. Saw it on Americarna. When he went to pick it up they actually gave him two coupes, a black one with red interior and a red one with black interior. Production numbers 1 & 2 of the C7 model.

Have they checked to see if there’s a body in the trunk?
