It’s a 1967 Corvette Coupe, 427 cu in, 400 hp all numbers matching car. Bill Thumel found it in arizona and as the pictures show we are doing a frame off restoration. We are building to NCRS Standards (National Corvette Restorer’s Society) and will get the car certifed and also show for AACA major points and gold classification. The car just came back from upholstery shop so more pictures to follow.
