Through the years, I always had a favorite Corvette model – a 1967 big-block coupe. So, when I got the chance to pick one up that was mid-way through a restoration at a reasonable price – I didn't hesitate a minute.

The car had already been stripped, but after a little research I found that it had originally been white with a medium blue hood stripe (which matched its medium blue upholstery).

I spent several months finishing the restoration, then it went to Chip Whittington for a factory correct white with blue paint job.

I'll have to admit that the restoration was a lot more difficult than I had ever imagined. Just one little piece of hardware can take days to locate and cost dozens of times more than it would have cost in 1967.

Like always, money was tight, especially after completing a project, so when I received an offer for $16,500.00, I immediately took the deal!

I remember thinking, “This guy must be nuts! I mean really... how much more would a car like this ever be worth?”
