    On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Phoenix AZ on 1-4-22.
    We're looking at a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible in Marina Blue Paint. The car comes with the factory 427 CI V8 producing 435 HP. The car also has a 4 Speed manual transmission.
    The car's Owner is Jim Sheehan. Jim’s had this car since 2021. Jim shares he was on vacation, and the person who had the car for 12 years, and completed a 8 year restoration took the car out from where he was staying, and put a for sale sign in it. Jim called him up, took a ride, and the car was bought and coming back to his house. That’s being in the right place, at the right time.
    ENJOY!

      @Rudy, I learned in school about colours back in the 60s. The blues, greens, purples etc are what's called 'cool' colours, the reds, yellows, oranges are 'warm' colours. I prefer the WARM colours, esp for sports cars! Maybe because I lived in rainy, gloomy, dark Vancouver for so long I needed some BRIGHTness in my life to CHEER me up???

    Well Lou a definite memory for me. In 1973 I was working along with my twin brother for a gentleman who owns several Sunoco gas stations and a body shop. He was into racing so my brother and I were involved with that with him as well. One day at work the boss had a 67 vet convertible for 27 at one of his gas stations. He elected me to drive it to his body shop. Needless to say to keep my job I cooperated. And had a little fun to boot. Definitely one of the finer Corvette models. You’re a little bit like Bob Hope thanks for the memories.

    The '67 in Marina blue is an awesome machine. The original Stingray design was really perfected by then. It's interesting to note that the side pipes were not installed at the factory. The dealer you bought the car from had to do the conversion.

      I'm being a smarta$$ here: 65-67 and then again in 69, the optional side pipes could be ordered from the factory and they were installed at the factory, not the dealers. Maybe you're thinking of Camaros with the chambered exhaust being shipped in the trunk to be installed by the dealer

    1967 was the first year of the GM corporate rule that only the Corvette was to be factory offered with multiple carburetors. Pontiac was forced to discontinue its 3x2 barrel tri-power option on its GTO in favor of a single Quadrajet. Chrysler offered its 440 with a similar 3x2 barrel setup in 1969 and 1970. This is an outstanding car!

    Shudda brought yer SHADES on that trip eh Lou! I was just thinkin' (yeah THAT does happen now and again!) Anywho, I was thinkin'....This is a GREAT job for you bc you get to see and RIDE in many CLASSIC cars! What a way to scout out prospective cars to buy! You get the FEEL of all these great cars when riding in them! For example...I still remember 1965, when I was 12, me and 2 bros went back east , to Windsor, Ont. to spend the summer with grandparents. They had a new 1965 Dodge Polara, (NO power-steering) and I was used to riding in my dad's 1965 Pontiac Parisienne WITH power-steering! There was a HUGE difference in the FEEL/RIDE of the 2 cars! The Pontiac had a more 'softer' ride, yet, riding in the Dodge we could feel the road more. I think anyone who knows older cars gets what I am saying? It's curious the odd things we remember!

    Éstos autos deportivos como los Corvettes y Mustangs, sobretodo de las épocas de los 60, 70 y 80s, son de mis favoritos. ¡Simplemente hermoso este ejemplar de 1967 en color azul! Estuvo excelente la demostración de como se plegabla y oculta el techo en el baúl trasero. Por último, siempre me encantan esas tomas que realizas por esas carreteras desérticas... Saludos!

    1967 was the highest horsepower year, for American hotrods. All that was missing from this featured car was the air cleaner flip over, so that spectators could hear the carburetors roar.
    I don't recall ever seeing a vintage Corvette with a white interior of which IMHO couldn't get topped.
    The Bigblocks were best at quarter mile time setting. The Smallblocks only outperformed the Bigblocks at racetrack handling, until the aluminum-blocked 427s appeared.

    That looks just like the same car we had at Apache Motors in Scottsdale I. 1967-68. I worked there and drove it several times. Would take over to the car wash across the street from Scottsdale High School. Of course I took a detour thru the school parking lot. Once I had just got it washed and a little rain came over and wetted the street some. Could hardly let the clutch out without car wanted to go sideways! Fast damn car. It wasn’t our fastest though. That title went to the 62 Impala w; 409 r speed! And we had a 67 Plymouth that had 383 emblem on fender. Column shift automatic. 2 dr HT with bench seats. Damn thing really had a 426 dual quad hemi. Factory! Dick told me to park it on the front row Friday night. We had just got it and put new cheaply tires on it. I said are you crazy? Hemi on the front row? He said park it so I did and said it would not be there in the morning. It wasn’t! He had set it up to be stoled. Couple weeks later I went with Bob to a lot in Phoenix and there it was! Minus the engine and tranny!, we had nothing but hot rods! Many corvettes.

    Although the 427/435 is "king" of the C2's, they are hot, heavy, and thirsty. I have a '67 NCRS convertible with a 327/300, and a '67 NCRS coupe 327/350 with factory AC, PB, PS, and side pipes. Both cars 4-speed, with 3:73 rears. Don't get me wrong: I wouldn't sneeze at a documented '67 tri-power. Hopefully, I'll be walking by when the current owner finally puts it up for sale!

      The L71 tri power option was actually a rare option back then but you wouldn't know it today as there seems to be more of them now and they all have "documentation". You have to be careful before purchasing cars like this.

    • @thud9797
      @thud9797 Год назад

      Tri-Power wasn't that rare back then, 25.6% of all Vettes built in 1967 had it. And if you narrow it down to just big blocks, 60.4% of all 427 cars had it. In total, there were 5.871 built with it but agree, way more today!

    Isn't that Corvette fantastic, my favourite colour as well. The sound of the factory exhaust is just music to the ears. I was surprised the car was a bit jiggly going down the road. I guess it shows how tight the suspension is because I think this car is on bias ply tires and ooked like the pressures were to spec, which to me is too low and leaning towards a softer ride, I know that sounds like a contradiction! Nevertheless such a wonderful piece of automotive Americana sculpture...from Australia.

      Sorry Lou I was just listening again while the wife was watching (wide eyed of course)and heard you mentioned the red walls.I was wide eyed when I was watching the first time.
      I had the fortune of assisting on a few tweaks needed on a clients '67 427 3x2 a few years ago purchased at Corvette City and it made me want a Corvette of my own.
      I settled for what I could afford a 1976 small block 4 speed 4 years ago.
      Next to the Harley Davidsons I own the 4 speed is the most fun I can have with my clothes on.
      All the best to you and my fellow subscribers of one of the best channels on YT.
