Wow!

That is just absolutely stunning. I could only imagine the looks on people's faces when that bad azz ride hit the showroom. The restoration is awesome.

It doesn't get much better than a black/blue 435 Coupe. Beautiful Car. One of the nicest restored 67's I have seen.

I thought you would like to see this picture. Not mine nor do I know the owner but it was entered for flight judging at the 2007 NCRS National in Boston.

Very cool Steve!!!!!!Without a doubt my favorite 67 Vette.I am sure this is giving Chris sellers remorse on his 400 air roadster.

Steve or Chris could probably verify this, but I believe that the dealer painted the black coupe blue to sell it when it was new. I can't believe that this pretty color combination was hard to sell, but it may have been.

Steve, your black/blue is the only '67 that I like as much as my maroon J56 car....... and I might add, your the guy who found it for me. Thanks!

I'll always have sellers remorse. Chased my black blue car for 10 years, then overspent on it.

[/ QUOTE ] Tim, I was told that for some reason that the car sat unsold for many months. It was then painted blue and the car sold I have to admit that I do miss the car but it is still close by and is in very good hands. I had been chasing the car that I currently own for several years so when it became available I had to let this one go. In a perfect world I would have loved to have kept both but I have no regrets at all.
Paul, it was a pleasure helping you find your J56 car, glad your happy with it. Here is a pic of my and Chris' old car.

Steve, is your blk/blue car a 435? A buddy has one that is not one of the known four, bought it new, still has it.

I can't understand why that color combo wouldn't sell in 1967 its beautiful I have never seen it before I love it.

Although I remember my father taking me to see these Vettes at the Chevy dealership when they were new and I don't remember them coming from the factory anywhere near that nice? My father ended up buying a 427 Impala thinking it was a better value then the "high priced" Vette at the time.

That is a spectacular resto on that car holy cow.

Lance,
I would l love to see your friends car and if it is for sale I would be interested if it is a no stories car. The coupe is a 435.
Les,
Thanks for the compliment, it is a truly stunning Corvette. I am glad it went to a good home.
