The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette is widely regarded as the ultimate expression of the legendary C2 "Mid-Year" generation-the final year, the most refined, and to many collectors, the most desirable Corvette ever built. This exceptional Tuxedo Black convertible is a rare, historically significant example with an extraordinary restoration history, national-level awards, and comprehensive documentation.
One of just 815 Corvettes finished in Tuxedo Black for 1967, this car presents in a timeless and striking combination of black exterior over a saddle leather interior, topped with a black soft top, bright chrome, side pipes, and rally wheels with redline tires. The exterior has been carefully maintained with refinished rally wheels and new side exhaust and covers, preserving its authentic yet show-ready appearance.
As the final and most coveted Mid-Year Corvette, the 1967 model represents the pinnacle of Corvette design, performance, and collectability. With its rare color, award-winning history, mechanical correctness, and included original components, this Corvette stands as a blue-chip example for the serious collector seeking one of the finest and most historically significant Corvettes available today.
