Other factory options include air conditioning, black leather interior with optional headrest seats, dual side mounted exhaust, original factory bolt on wheels, power windows and AM/FM radio. All these accessories can be confirmed through the original factory build sheet, also known as the “tank sticker.” The original factory warranty booklet, complete with its “protect-o-plate” is also included in the sale. Overall, this Corvette is an example of an original numbers matching vehicle restored to a high level. This vehicle is being offered from an estate, and exact detailed restoration information is not available; however, a close inspection by any serious buyer will not disappoint. The vehicle is currently at the Owls Head Transportation Museum and can be inspected anytime with an appointment prior to Auction Week.
Auction staff at Owls Head worked with the estate to document the vehicle. A full report, with photos, can be provided for decoding purposes on request. According to the warranty card, this Corvette was purchased by a gentleman in Silver Springs, Maryland, in April of 1967. As stated earlier, according to the “tank sticker” all options on this vehicle are factory originals. According to the trim tag, this vehicle has a production date of March 27,1967. When decoding the various components on the vehicle, all dates line up within the correct date sequence and options for the build. According to its stamp, the engine was assembled on March 7,1967 and is coded the correct JC suffix for the 400hp option and has the matching sequence serial number to the car. The matching number on the transmission has been confirmed as has the rear axle. All major component numbers have also been cross referenced to the numbers on the “protect-o-plate,” and all match. The alternator, according to the code, is the correct 61 amps version used on the larger engine and a/c cars and is date coded as March 9, 1967. Carburetor numbers have been visually confirmed as well. The cylinder heads, while correct for the 400hp options, have a date code of late March,1967, indicating that during the restoration the heads were replaced; but great time and effort was made to source correct components of virtually the same date. All inspection photographs, copies of documents, and coding reports are available upon request.
