Update – Collin has decided to lower his asking price to $33k and has sent over more photos of his Corvette. Having it out of storage and cleaned up reveals what appears to be a great project! Be sure to take a closer look at the new photos and if you have any questions, feel free to ask Collin via the form below.
From 10/24/2018 – There was a bit of confusion on the engine. Collin has clarified with us that the car currently has an L79, but originally had the 300hp 327. The original engine and transmission are still present and come with the car. Sorry for any confusion!
Reader Collin K has a rather cool project, this 1967 Corvette. Unfortunately for Collin, it needs to go, so If you are up to the task you can find the car in Bolingbrook, Illinois and you can contact him via the form below.
What Makes It Special? This Corvette was in storage from 1979 until 2014. It currently has an L79 350HP 327 with a Muncie 4-speed. The original engine was the 300HP 327 with an automatic. The original Powerglide is with it still and come with the car, along with the original wheels. The blue exterior with a black interior.
Body Condition: Damage to the driver’s side quarter panel. The remainder of the body is in good condition. The interior is in good condition and complete.
Mechanical Condition: Ran when parked, but hasn’t been started since.
The car’s original 327 V8 is with the car, but is apart and will need a complete rebuild. It’s the base 300 horsepower engine, so from a performance standpoint, it might be better to get the L79 that’s currently in the car running. Having the original block is definitely a plus though, as it would allow you to return the car back to its original condition.
Collin’s car needs work but looks complete and fairly solid. Having additional photos and a set asking price should help find a good home for it. I for one would love to see the finished product and hope that it goes to a reader that can get it back on the road! So be sure to take a closer look at it and contact Collin to set up a time to view it or to make him an offer.
