Default 1967 427 435 Corvette roadster

1967 Corvette 427 435 L71 number matching engine and transmission believed to be original to the car with 80,000 miles. The car is very original and still retains its original Vin tag, trim tag, interior, 6500 rpm tachometer, 80 lb oil pressure gauge and all glass. The original black vinyl interior is also in VGC. The car has been repainted its correct sunfire yellow at one time.
This Corvette has never been off its frame and runs and drives like it should. The doors open and close like they did when it was new, no sagging no rattling just very solid. The undercarriage is also still original with the original fuel lines and brake lines. The rear spring looks to be replaced at one time. The frame has no major rust just some minor surface rust.
The previous owner owned the car for about the last 20 years and it was not driven much. The work that was recently done to the car was rebuilt carburetors, rebuilt brake calipers, adjust valves and new spark plugs also a compression test was done and checked out ok.
The car has manual brake, manual steering, wheels are older Western wheels so the car is not a original bolt on wheel car. The side pipes are original GM and there is also a hard top that came with the car. I looked thru the gas tank opening and do not see a tank sticker so do not know what options came on the car. I do know it is a real L71 car with probably the original engine and trans. I am not a Corvette expert, so by all means have the car inspected by a professional. I do not think this car has ever been ncrs judged.

According to the NCRS docs it was sold new at Richard Chevrolet in Bellaire Ohio it was built on 6/9/1967. The other history I have is that it was in New Boston or Goffstown New Hampshire in the 90s. The car was then bought and brought to the Westchester county of New York in 2001 and stayed there until last year.

This is a description of another original T0525JE long block that was on Ebay. Check out the dates and vin number matches almost perfectly with my dates. My car was built 500 cars after the Ebay car so that is probably why one of my heads is dated D117 instead of D17.

"1967 Corvette 435 HP engine 427 factory block casting 3904351 date C-21-7. Unaltered pad stamped T0525JE 7119985. Heads 3904391 both dated D 1 7. Rocker arms have been loosened, Original oil pan, timing cover and harmonic balancer. Engine has not been disassembled and shows no evidence of internal damage.

This Corvette is a very solid original driver quality car that looks and runs very well by no means is it a show car, it is a car you could get in and not be afraid to drive. Like previously mentioned I would advise anyone interested in the car should have the car inspected. Please email [email protected] for more pictures.100,000.00
