1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe"Cars Of Dreams Museum" Original 427/390HP Eng. Fact AC, K/O, Side Exhausts, Auto Exterior: Ermine White/Blue Stinger Interior: Blue Leather Serial Number: 194377S109731 Mileage: 29,101 Trim: 67 437 41SCA Body: S3420 Paint code:972AA Engine Block:109731 ( last 6 digits of Serial Number) This Magnificent 1967 Stingray Big Block coupe is owned by the owner of the fabulous Cars Of Dreams Car Museum in North Palm Beach, FL. The Museum has been featured many times on International Television and is recognized world-wide as one on the finest collections of American vintage automobiles. You can click here to see this car displayed in the Cars Of Dreams Museum in North Palm Beach,Florida 1967 Chevy Corvette Stingray (White) This MAGNIFICENT Corvette has it's original FACTORY 427/390HP engine that was built in the Tonowanda Plant in NY and installed by Chevrolet in the Corvette factory in St. Louis, Missouri in 1967. The last 6 numbers of this Corvettes serial number are clearly marked on the engine block...and have not been restamped or altered in any way. When this specially ordered Corvette arrived at the Chevrolet dealership a special request was made by the new owner....his wife was having difficulty learning how to drive a manual transmission...so the dealership installed a Brand new Powerglide transmission....now his wife was happy as she could now drive their car. The first series of numbers on the block indicate this engine was built for a Corvette with manual transmission, 427 big block and air-conditioning which further bears out the history of this car. We have had this car inspected and checked out by 3 Corvette experts who have all agreed with the above. If you call me at 954-873-6495 I can put you in contact with them. If you prefer a 4/speed manual transmission car, we can have installed a correct date coded transmission in this car. (we have located one) Personally, after having driven this car, I would leave it just like it is with the Powerglide automatioc that was installed at the delivering dealer over 40 years ago. This car is equipped as follows: 427/390 HP Original Factory Engine Powerglide Transmission(Dealer installed in 1967) Factory Air-conditioning Power Windows Tinted glass Telescopic steering wheelAluminum K/O wheels Off road side exhausts Leather Interior Teak steering wheel Corvette floor mats Seat Belts (Original with date code tags still on them) Stereo System AM/FM/Stereo/Cassette (non-original but great sounding) The speakers are KLH and in their own housing and could be removed if you so choose to do so. This is unquestionably the finest driving 1967 Corvette with a big block 427 I have ever driven. You can take your hands off the wheel at 75-80 mph and the car tracks straight as an arrow...and with no vibrations or noises. I took this car out of the Museum with 29,039 miles and took the outside photographs today by the Yacht Marina close to the museum. The car was returned and parked inside the museum with 29,101 miles. (Actual mileage) It is such a joy to drive I wish I could have headed to California....and back. If you have never taken the Route 66 trip in a vintage Corvette from St. Louis to L.A. you need to put that on your must list of things to do. This is a very low mileage Corvette....it has been repainted one time a few years ago but has never undergone a body-off restoration because it has never needed one.....and still doesn't. It is a true survivor! It has two things you can't buy..... low mileage and originality. All the power accessories work correctly as do the lights, wiper, horn and Cold Air-conditioning. The headlight mechanism works as it should. The clock works. (Amazing) The paint, body, interior and chrome are gorgeous. The Side exhaust sounds fantastic.... John bought this car as a gift for his wife and although she drove it a couple of times...the truth is she prefers her modern convertible. If you have been looking for a big block Corvette that you can hop in and drive from coast to coast in complete confidence...you have found your "Dream Corvette" This is a magnificent Museum quality car that you can hop in and drive to a local or National car show or Coast to Coast. While in the Cars Of Museum, this and every car are started on a regular basis and driven a short distance before returning to the museum. As good as this car looks in the photos...it is even better in person. If you want the best....you have just discovered it on Ebaymotors.com. This car is not cheap or a "fixer-upper" but it is certainly not overpriced. It is a turn-key Corvette that still has it's original factory 427/390HP engine...with low mileage. Keep this in mind now that you know most of history of this incredible car....When your bidding on this car...you are not just buying a means of transportation or an ordinary vintage car....but A Vette that was the last of this body style-The 1967 Corvette 427 is considered by many to be THE one to collect and own. Whats really great about this Corvette it is one you can actually enjoy and drive anywhere...anytime. It is owned by the owner of the fabulous "Cars Of Dreams" Museum in North Palm Beach,FL. Recently the Cars Of Dreams Museum was featured on International TV...Here is a link to the Special on the Museum: Tail Fins and Chrome features: Cars of Dreams We constantly are changing the inventory from the museum and always have anywhere from 15-30 cars for sale at any one time. PLEASE write to me at luvdg@aol.com and we will send you the link to the Cars Of Dreams Museum in N. Palm Beach,FL. The owner keeps his cars anywhere from a few weeks, to a few months, to several years...then sells them (often at a very substantial loss) and replaces them with other spectacular cars or takes on several more projects. All of the Cars Of Dreams cars are started once a month and driven a couple of miles. Checked for any problems, even minor leaks, fixed if necessary and then put back in the Museum with a trickle charger kept on every single car. John has created the same thing with Mega-super yachts....He loves the challenge to create and build something that has never been done before... His Company, Millennium Yachts built "The World is not enough" to ultimately attain the world speed record for a 141' Super yacht....70 knots with 22,000 horsepower. Here is a 8 minute U-Tube of John attempting to break the world's record for a 141' Luxury Motor Super Mega Yacht. In this attempt, the Yacht hit 65mph but a few month's later the record was broken...70knots ....approx. 80MPH. An absolutely incredible feat...if you take the time to watch the video with this 22,000 Horsepower Mega Luxury Yacht...it will give you an indication of how John applies his same love for vintage cars. After selling the "World Is Not Enough", he followed with "Casino Royale" and now "Quantum of Solace"..coming in the Fall of 2011 is "Diamonds Are Forever" It is a 200' Mega Yacht currently well-under construction in Italy at the Benetti Yacht Factory. The World is Not Enough MEGA YACHT 8 min - Aug 2, 2009 www.youtube.com John also has built many other Super Yachts...just a few are Octopussy, Casino Royale, Moonraker and now Quantum Of Solace...all named after James Bond Movies.

You've found the place for car buffs, car lovers, car aficionados, for guys and girls.... from 8 to 88 and even beyond. If your among the nearly 200 million Americans who still have an ongoing love affair with the automobile... WELCOME... and should you happen to be from a country other than the U.S........ your equally welcome! Little did Daimler realize just how much his tiny one cylinder motorized bike was going to change the world when invented in the mid 1890's. This motorized bicycle was refined and eventually became the 1st automobile. (one cylinder) and his company became known as Daimler/Benz. (Mercedes Benz) (DaimlerChrysler today) James Dean Step back with us for a return to the middle of the twentieth century... The late, great fabulous 1950's...It was a wonderful time, offering so many new beginnings, as the terrible memories of World War II began to gradually fade and the dreams of our returning heroes and soldiers, as well as their families, could now be fully realized. With the promise of a lasting world peace, came the hope of prosperity and tranquility...all of which was soon to become a reality. Elvis "An Age of Innocence" The Fabulous Fifties was an "age of innocence" and as a young man growing up during this period, a guy would consider himself to be "lucky" if he was able to hold a girl's hand on their first date. If he got a peck on the cheek by their third date, well.... he knew they were made for each other! It was an age of integrity and trust. One could actually leave your front and rear door unlocked and your car keys in your ignition... and when you returned, nothing would be missing. "The Rock n' Roll Era and the The Drive-In Craze" Book by Michael Karl Witzel Book by Don and Susan Sanders In the 1950's life was less complex and perhaps a little slower. People actually took time to wave from their convertibles to friends and to even smile to a stranger and even give a friendly "Hello" to a passerby. Remember those great nights at the local drive-in restaurant or those "make-out" sessions at the local drive-in movie theater. And the term "Parking" took on a whole new meaning. By the mid 1950's Rock n' Roll had burst onto the scene. Both new cars and souped-up hot rods had become part of the youth culture. The entertainment industry, not to be left out, brought out countless low-budget movies that brought teens to the drive-in movies by the thousands. By the early 1960's songs such as the Beach Boy's "409" and "Little Duece Coupe", The Ripchords "Hey Little Cobra" Jan & Dean's "Drag City" and Ronny and the Daytona's " GTO" were riding high on the charts. Our love affair with the Automobile was in "full bloom." A few days prior to the new model cars being shown to the public, most new car dealerships would cover their showroom windows with brown paper. Many times I recall try to catch a peek or a glimpse of the new models.... The American Public could hardly wait to see what new and exciting creations were about to be offered by Detroit. It is these very cars... the Cars from Dreams, that we will feature and reminisce about... and every month we will offer stories and memories of these great "Cars from Dreams."... as well as offering the very best examples for sale. The cars of the 50's and 60's for the most part had "personality!" The great Chevys, Pontiacs, Cadillacs, Buicks and Oldsmobiles helped make GM a world leader and giant of the auto world. Ford produced fabulous cars including Ford Thunderbirds, Lincolns and Mercurys. Chrysler offered all those incredible Mopars... Plymouths, Desoto, Dodges, and Chrysler. 1959 Cadillac Brochure Cover Competition was fierce, but other marquees like Studebaker, AMC, Nash, Kaiser, Hudson, Muntz, Tucker, Avanti, etc. tried to capture a piece of this huge exploding marketplace. Unfortunately, they didn't have the dollar and staying power to compete with the "Big Three." As the 1960's drew to a close, cars began to change. New EPA requirements and increasing prices for gasoline hasten the demise of the "Muscle" car. The horsepower race came to an end by the early 1970's.... at least for a while. In 1976 Cadillac crushed the molds to build their last Convertible... the Cadillac Eldorado. They theorized that the American buying public didn't really want convertibles anymore and that production numbers were too small to bother with manufacturing "open air" cars. Boy were they wrong! Heinz Prechter seized the opportunity to custom make convertibles for most manufacturers and ASC (American Sunroof Corporation) exploded with orders and sales. So what exactly is it that makes us lust after those "Cars From Dreams?" Simple.... it's the memories, the happy times..... those great times from our youth and the freedom to go where we wanted...when we wanted... with whom we wanted...and in a car that was a ball to drive. It's where Johnny took Mary on their 1st date! It's so easy to spot a "Car From Dreams" on our highways today... just look for someone motoring down the street with a huge grin on their face. Today our hobby is pursued by guys and girls alike...it's just not a "guy" thing anymore and I think that's great. There are enough great memories to go around for everyone. How big is the car-collecting hobby? No one really knows for sure. However, there are several million cars that have been preserved or restored and our hobby is expanding... not shrinking.... and with sixty million "Baby Boomers" with disposal income and spendable dollars out there... the prices will continue to escalate. The nice thing about our hobby today, as opposed to the wild speculation on vintage cars that occurred throughout the 1980's is that these cars are being driven and enjoyed... not just been stored away in warehouses and garages. So celebrate with us as we embark on the next fifty years and if you feel compelled to exclaim "Hubba Hubba" or a loud "Hooray" as we reminisce with these "Cars From Dreams"... it's perfectly acceptable!
