The C2 Corvette convertible is one of the most beloved American sports cars, and this one hides enormous power beneath a period look. It carries a Stinger hood, side exhaust, turbine-style wheels, Wilwood four-wheel discs, Bilstein dampers, Vintage Air, and a McIntosh-powered audio system. Bidding stands at $50,000 with six days remaining and six bids placed.

What it’s worth right now
1967 Corvette restomods trade across a wide range. A 1967 Corvette convertible restomod with an LS7 sold for $126,000 at auction, according to AllCollectorCars, while a restomod convertible sold through Gateway Classic Cars for $89,000 and a dealer lists a non-original 427 six-speed restomod at $139,999.
The build places this one in the lower middle of that range. The 541 Brodix engine, the six-speed, and documented dyno results help, while the non-original drivetrain, the stress cracks, the epoxy transmission repair, and an older build temper the number, and big-power builds rarely recover their cost. Fair value lands between $85,000 and $115,000, with $100,000 most likely. The current bid of $50,000 has six days to run against a reserve.

Condition and details
The body is older work. The trim tag decodes Sunfire Yellow with black leather, and the fiberglass body was stripped and refinished in yellow between 1995 and 1997, when the black top was also replaced. It carries a Stinger-style hood with a black stripe, side exhaust, and turbine-style wheels. Fiberglass stress cracks are visible at the left headlight opening and along the rear of the hood scoop.

The drivetrain is extreme. Superior Automotive built the 541 on a Brodix aluminum block with Brodix heads, dual Edelbrock fuel injection, and MSD ignition, and dyno results from 2013 show 713 horsepower and 707 lb-ft. The T56 six-speed went in during 2006, and an epoxy repair is present on its tail housing. The seller states the car runs on premium pump gas and is not numbers matching.

The chassis was reworked. Coast Corvette powder-coated and rebuilt the suspension with Bilstein dampers and adjustable rear strut rods, and Wilwood discs with six-piston front calipers were fitted. Inside are black leather buckets, Vintage Air, which the seller states blows cold, and a Bluetooth stereo. The California title is clean, and the dealer charges a $70 fee. A pre-purchase inspection should check the transmission repair and the fiberglass.

What makes the C2 Chevrolet Corvette unique
The C2 Corvette introduced the Sting Ray name, independent rear suspension, and retractable headlights, and 1967 was its final and most refined year. Its sharp styling remains among the most admired in American automotive history.

Restomod C2s serve buyers who want the look with modern performance. Original, numbers-matching cars command collector premiums, while restomods are judged on build quality and components. Documentation of the work and dyno results add confidence for buyers of high-power builds.
My take
At $50,000 with six bids and six days to run, my call is $100,000, with $115,000 possible if bidders value the 713-horsepower dyno result and the six-speed. What makes it compelling is the performance, since a C2 convertible with a 541 aluminum big-block and a T56 delivers astonishing power in a classic shape. What tempers it is the stress cracks, the transmission repair, and the non-original drivetrain. Inspect the transmission tail housing, then bid.
