Two examples from one of the most desirable years in Corvette history are set to cross the block at The Annual Big Boy Toy Auction, both scheduled for May 1, 2026. While they share the same model year, these two 1967 Corvettes offer very different personalities—one focused on driver engagement, the other on comfort and cruising.
1967 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster (Lot 1)
The first is a 1967 Corvette Roadster, finished in Marina Blue, and equipped with the sought-after L79 327 cubic-inch V8 rated at 350 horsepower. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this car represents the more performance-oriented side of the C2 lineup.
The seller states it is a matching-numbers example, and it comes with two-owner history. The odometer reads 39,000 miles, noted as actual, adding another layer of appeal for collectors who value documented mileage.
With its combination of open-top driving, small-block performance, and manual transmission, this Roadster aligns closely with what many enthusiasts look for in a classic Corvette—something engaging, mechanical, and true to the era.
1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe (Lot 2)
The second car takes a different approach. This 1967 Corvette Coupe, finished in red, is powered by a 327 cubic-inch V8 rated at 300 horsepower, paired with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.
While less aggressive than the L79 setup, this Corvette leans into comfort and drivability. It’s equipped with factory air conditioning, power windows, power steering, and power brakes, making it a more relaxed cruiser compared to its Roadster counterpart.
The seller also states this example is matching numbers, and it includes a Protect-O-Plate, an important piece of documentation for originality-minded buyers.
Same Year, Two Different Experiences
The 1967 model year marked the final evolution of the C2 Corvette, combining refined styling with some of the best engineering of the generation. It’s widely considered one of the most collectible Corvette years—and these two cars highlight why.
One offers manual, small-block performance in a convertible package, while the other delivers comfort-focused cruising with factory options and documentation.
Both will cross the block at The Annual Big Boy Toy Auction, giving bidders a choice between two distinct interpretations of the same iconic year.
Which one would you take—the 4-speed Marina Blue Roadster or the option-loaded red Coupe?
