Corvettes for Sale: 1967 Corvette Convertible in Marina Blue

 I’ve never had the pleasure of owning a C2 Corvette, but if the opportunity ever presents itself, deciding on a convertible or a coupe would definitely be a tough decision for me.

I’d probably lean toward a coupe because I like the roofline and the more useful and accessible space in the rear compartment.

But then along comes a gorgeous Marina Blue 1967 convertible like this one currently being auctioned off on All Collector Cars Auctions (ACC), and suddenly my preference shifts to an open-air roadster.

Something about that chopped-off roofline really looks nice, especially from the rear three-quarter view. Interestingly, most buyers felt the same way, overwhelmingly choosing the convertible in ’67, with 14,436 roadsters and 8,504 coupes produced.

With four days left in the bidding, the highest offer so far has climbed to $56,500. A neat thing about ACC Auctions is that it shows a progression bar that in this case reveals that the current price is about two-thirds of the way to meeting the seller’s reserve price:

This Sting Ray doesn’t have a big-block engine, but what it does have going for it is its extensive documentation.

Ownership can be traced back to four people, including the original owner, an airline pilot who bought it for his wife from Harry Mann Chevrolet in Los Angeles, California. The car didn’t swap hands until 1984, being sold to a Salt Lake City resident who owned it until his death in 1995. Another Utah resident then owned it for the next 22 years, during which time he preserved it to its present condition, adding power steering and side exhaust. The current owner lives in central Illinois.

The car left the St. Louis factory nicely equipped, with a 327/300 horsepower engine, Powerglide automatic transmission (one of just 2,324 that year), air conditioning, power windows and brakes, and auxiliary hardtop.

The seller describes the Sting Ray as having “very good fit and finish, chrome, and glass” and says it’s mechanically sound and can be shown and/or driven.
