This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is all about having your cake and eating it, oo. Enter this Ermine White roadster, hich packs a thundering 502 crate motor that is just begging to be driven. That's doing performance right.This one is also in just the right condition for going out and tearing up some pavement. Forget concours show paint, orget perfectly imperfect fiberglass, his one has a comfortable, ived-in look that's distinctive but not beat up. Perfect is its least favorite word, ut everyone around it will ooh and aah over the black stinger on the hood and the gorgeous C2 bodywork, hich is probably the most universally-loved car ever built. Instead, t's like jeans and a T-shirt, lassic and comfortable and never pretentious. Doors fit well, he chrome is in great shape, nd with side pipes, ou know this sucker means business. And for a car that's you're going to want to drive, he relief that you'll feel not having to worry about flawless paint will be tangible every time you turn the key.The black interior is likewise in nice condition but not too perfect. Seat covers, arpets, oor panels, nd the original teakwood steering wheel are tidy and in good order, nd the 4-speed shifter is a welcome sight in any Corvette from the period. Big, right gauges keep an eye on the big block working up front and show clear lenses and a correct 6500 RPM redline on the tachometer. Heck, ven the clock works! It shows 6430 miles on the clock, hich was reset to 0 when the 502 was installed a few years ago. The white convertible top might be original, nd it's in good enough shape to keep the rain off, ut it's for emergency use only because, onestly, ho drives a mid-year Corvette convertible with the top up? Thanks to the versatility of GM's big block engines, he 502 cubic inch crate motor was a neat fit in the Corvette's engine bay. The 502 truly delivers big power thanks to a 4-barrel carb, owtie intake, nd MSD ignition system. It's backed by the original, umbers-matching 4-speed Muncie, hich doesn't seem to mind the extra torque, nd with 3.73 gears on a Posi limited slip, he car is a weapon on the streets. Fortunately, he C2's 4-wheel disc brakes are competent, he suspension stays buttoned down, nd thanks to repro knock-off wheels, t carries fat 215/65/15 Goodyears that do their best to hook it up.A drivable Corvette with a big block power and one that you don't have to be afraid to pull out of the garage? Who could have imagined such a thing? This is the real deal, eady to enjoy or to take to the next level, ecause this is a very worthy car. Call today!
