Single-Family-Owned 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 427/4-Speed – Tri-Power, Marina Blue, Restored Mechanical Systems

This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is a single-family-owned example that retains its factory-correct style and features a rebuilt 427ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission and Tri-Power carburetion. Parked since the 1980s following an engine failure, this C2 underwent extensive mechanical restoration beginning in 2014, including a full engine rebuild, brake system overhaul, suspension refresh, and electrical work. Additional updates completed in 2020 added power steering, a new dual exhaust system, and a reupholstered interior. Finished in its original Marina Blue over black vinyl, this second-generation Corvette combines raw big-block performance with honest patina and single-family provenance.

This coupe remains true to its 1967 heritage, showcasing factory-correct styling, side gills, a stinger hood, and 15″ Rally-style wheels. The odometer shows approximately 40,000 miles, though true mileage is unknown. A rare survivor with documented refurbishment and long-term ownership, this C2 is both a driver and an icon of American performance.

Exterior – Marina Blue with Stinger Hood & Classic Lines

The fiberglass body retains its original factory color, Marina Blue, and displays driver-quality paintwork with various imperfections and wear consistent with long-term storage and age. Notable design elements include:

• Black-striped stinger hood

• Retractable headlights (motors rebuilt in 2014)

• Split chrome bumperettes front and rear

• Curved rear glass window

• Fender vents

• Driver-side mirror

• Dual Flowmaster exhaust tips

The car rides on Pacer 144S 15″ Rally-style wheels, mounted in June 2014 with 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. While the body retains its original shape and panel fit, areas of paint wear and aging are visible and documented in the photo gallery, lending the car an authentic and unrestored visual appeal.

Interior – Black Vinyl Buckets, Redone Console, Honest Patina

Inside, the cabin reflects a mixture of restoration and original condition. In 2020, both black vinyl bucket seats were reupholstered and the center console was redone, restoring much of the interior’s visual presentation. Additional features include:

• Push-button vertical AM radio

• Analog clock

• Original heater system

• Three-spoke steering wheel

• Lap belts for both occupants

The black carpeting shows discoloration and wear, particularly in the passenger footwell, consistent with the car’s age and long-term storage.

Instrumentation is vintage-correct and fully functional, with a 160-mph speedometer, a 6,500-rpm redline tachometer, and auxiliary readouts for fuel level, amperage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 40,000 miles, though total mileage is undocumented.

Powertrain – Rebuilt 427ci V8 with Tri-Power Induction

Under the hood lies a rebuilt 427ci V8, featuring the highly desirable Tri-Power setup with three Holley two-barrel carburetors, a configuration that helped define the performance benchmark of the late 1960s muscle era. Work performed in June 2014 includes:

• Rebuilt engine, carburetors, alternator, and starter

• Replacement of fuel pump, distributor, plug wires, voltage regulator, and radiator

• Installation of MSD ignition module and kill switch

The engine stamp pad is blank, but the block is believed to be period-correct. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission, delivering an engaging and authentic big-block driving experience.

Additional drivetrain work in 2014 includes:

• Replacement of driveshaft U-joints

• Replacement of rear axle U-joints

• Installation of a Flowmaster dual exhaust system, offering an aggressive and unmistakable V8 tone

Chassis, Suspension & Brakes – Refreshed and Upgraded

The chassis and underpinnings were refreshed alongside the engine, with attention given to handling and braking performance:

• Suspension overhaul in 2014

• Brake system restoration, including rebuilt calipers, rotors, and pads

• Four-wheel power-assisted disc brakes

• Power steering kit installed in December 2020

These upgrades bring improved drivability and control to match the big-block’s output, without compromising the car’s classic character.

Ownership & Condition

This 1967 Corvette coupe has remained in the same family since new, a rare and valuable distinction in the collector world. It has seen selective mechanical restoration while preserving much of its factory look, offering a unique balance between originality and roadworthiness.

Key highlights:

• Single-family ownership since 1967

• Rebuilt 427ci Tri-Power V8

• Four-speed manual

• Power steering & power disc brakes

• Functional headlamps, heater, gauges

• Original Marina Blue paint with age-consistent wear

• Interior refreshed with new upholstery and console

Summary

This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe stands as a tribute to the golden age of American muscle—powered by a rebuilt 427ci Tri-Power V8, controlled by a four-speed manual gearbox, and dressed in its original Marina Blue paint. Its combination of long-term family ownership, mechanical restoration, and authentic patina makes it a compelling choice for collectors and drivers alike.

Whether shown at local meets, enjoyed on back roads, or preserved as part of a serious C2 collection, this big-block Corvette is a true icon with a story to match.
