BUYING and DRIVING a 1967 Corvette C2- STORED and FORGOTTEN..EPIC GARAGE FIND!!
We bring home a 27,000 mile c2 corvette stored most of it's life (last registered in 1993) and bringing home a lot of extra parts!

[@RodrigoVargas72]

Carburators, pistons, spark plugs, cables. Life was so simple back then! Love this!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

For sure!

[@jackmundo4043]

Beautiful. Love the originality. Thanks..

[@curtfreeman8632]

Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing the experience. Almost impossible to find a car like that nowadays, at any price. I would assume that others had inquired about buying the car over the years. Your friend must have caught the guy at the right time to have been able to buy it. The way I look at it is, it was just meant for him to have it. Congratulations on now owning what I consider to be the holy grail of Corvette’s.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

You are right. He hit it at the right time for sure, this would have been gone in a second if the owner listed it online

[@georgehays4900]

Just a beauty. C2 is my favorite body style.

[@YTjndallas]

My God it’s beautiful‼️

[@kevinshorter5861]

Very sharp too!!

[@deborahgreen8887]

Thank you for saving the greatest year Corvette ever. I am sooooo jealous.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

It is a great year!

[@christophersnyder4851]

great video guys. nice to see old cars waking back up

[@shadvan9494]

the 67 C2 corvette is one of my favorites. I have always wanted one. they are they are insanely priced right now, and i don't see it going down any time soon. FYI starting in 1967, the factory glued a copy of the build sheet to the top of the gas tank. so the tank sticker will tell you everything you need to know about the car.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

You always have great info, we will have to try and find it. Thanks Shad!

[@Jerry-yb7po]

​​@@RyanSampsonRPhi am a pharmacist too.....is any other documentation such as the protecto plate included? I'm curious as to what the tank sticker says? Does the trim tag say 976 for marina blue?

[@FlatheadTerry]

Great Score Guys! Looking forward to seeing more episodes on this cool C2.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks Terry, I love your vette you picked up too!

[@deanhummel7946]

WOW what a amazing find

[@hurk130]

Oh, yeah! Great purchase! You got a winner there!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thank ya sir!

[@brian2359]

Very clean C2! What a great starting point

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

For sure!

[@N98858]

NICE Find... My Confirmation Sponsor and Dads Co-Pilot had a 67 427/Tri-Power Conv with a removable hardtop as well, Quite The Ride and I can remember like it were last week albeit 1969 ';-) Thanks for sharing!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Dang, what a well optioned vette he had!

[@cartersclassics]

Love the video. Keep it up brother. Will always watch your content!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Thanks man I appreciate that

[@megapatsfan7289]

hope you get rid of the front flares on the fenders.

[@Jasona1976]

What a find!!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Definitely!

[@mikemontgomery7337]

A once in a lifetime find !!!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Heck yeah!

[@JDale56]

Nice find - and the best color combo offered that year in my opinion. Have you checked to see if it still has the build sheet on top of the fuel tank? It should be visible by pulling down the rubber seal around the fuel fill opening, on the drivers side of the tank - they are frequently still in place after all these years. The tachometer redline and 60Lb oil pressure gauge indicate that the car could have been equipped with either the L79, L36, or L68 engines. The half shafts and rear sway bar would be other indicators of whether or not it was equipped with a big block or is a small block with a big block hood installed. Looking forward to the next video on this project.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Yep, build sheet was actually still there (check my short video on it), born a factory big block car!

[@thelongs5698]

She’s a beaut Clark lol. Seriously great looking Vette and the paint looks fantastic after sitting for so much time.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

😂😂 She is a beaut! Going to see if I can do a detail video on er for John, paint should really come back 👌

[@Xidias]

How sweet was it that he could drive it out of a shed right home. Makes the purchase even better

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

We were all pretty shocked how easy it started and how fast the brakes came back with just a simple bleed

[@rlbeardsley6022]

Thx for the video. The L88 hood did not push air back TO the windshield however. It drew high pressure air FROM the windshield, eh?

[@Jerry-yb7po]

True.

[@MrSFSTUDIOS]

Great car! GM classic!

[@davidsantos8206]

What a score (depending on price ofcourse) but 67 is my favorite year and my dream car. I have owned a 1970 LT1 Corvette and a 71 LS5 Corvette. Both of them were this same color blue as this car. Although the guy I bought the 70 from, had it repainted red. But it was originally Lucerne blue. It's nice he got that really nice L88 hood. Too bad he didn't get the side pipe exhaust as well. And I think the 1st thing to do is get rid of those white walls. Maybe go with some red line tires. But I love the car. Thanks for sharing the video with us.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

I really like the red lined tires for this year too! You had some really desirable C3’s 👍👍

[@FjHenderson]

Lol those temperature controlled chokes when they were set right they worked awesome, if not they were a pain to start and keep running until warmed up

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

You got that right!

[@hosoiarchives4858]

63-67, best cars in the world at that time

[@skinnerhound2660]

Incredible find, your friend is one lucky dog. Not only was marina blue/blue guts one of the most desirable colors, ‘67 was the most refined C-2. If he hasn’t already I would highly suggest he carefully drop the tank and see if the tank sticker survived,that is the ultimate prominence of documentation. Likely the block isn’t original, ignition shielding missing, carb incorrect etc. Did you check the casting numbers on the block? I had to cringe when the fuel tank wasn’t drained, easy process, done many. Not hating, just envious, lol. Congratulations to your friend, thanks for taking us along Ryan. They’re still out there!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

We took a look in the tank and saw it looked decent. Definitely a risk though. You are right, engine block is not from a 67, matched up to be a 69 block. I am jealous of this one as well lol. Hope you have been well!

[@skinnerhound2660]

@@RyanSampsonRPh Thanks Ryan, doing good. Miss your content. All good with you?

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

@@skinnerhound2660 Everything has been good! Just super busy with work and family stuff. How’s everything with you?!

[@bengone3349]

It looks as thou you have a non original block with no CCV from the rear port to the oil fill tube, and the rad is for a BB. You need to change that rad and shroud so you don't have over heating issues. The fan should be 50% inside of the shroud. Also the vacuum advance can is incorrect and possibly the dizzy itself. The passenger exhaust manifold is incorrect, it for a earlier engine for the choke heat tube hole. All SB had an overflow tank above the battery and it was plumbed into the cooking system.The hood is a GM over the counter part. They were made by North American Rockwell for GM. Knowing the car was damaged in the front driver side, the hood had to be replaced with the current one. Maybe all this info is late to you, but necessary. How do I know all this, I have 50 years experience with C-2 Vettes.

[@jeffgray3863]

Is it not more likely that a previous owner just put the Big Block hood on the small block vehicle? It does look like it’s been repainted in lacquer many years ago! 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

I’m sure that’s the case but thought the extra info on the hood was kinda cool to include. You are right, he had it painted in the late 70s!

[@edwardsabo8368]

You lost me at Ohio but still a great video.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

😂

[@georgehays4900]

Was that dude really pumping the brakes like that?

[@juanitokikiki]

how much ks was that

[@richardoswalt1009]

Rotten gas dirty carb, surprised it runs at all, lots of work to do to make it run good.

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

Gotta love the reliable SBC!

[@TheEngineerJason]

It may just be a good thing that it isn't all original. It's a tragedy to take an all original car then restomod it. I inherited a 63 that my parents bought (also in 1976). My dad thought it wasn't the original engine so I had some grand ideas that drastically changed when I noticed that the numbers matched. Even without the mods, they're fun to drive. They're also attention getters but only attract men.

[@sandywinfield9406]

Seems like that Vette is a car you can just jump in and enjoy driving it while working out the bugs and tweeking/fine tuning it all at the same time.

[@phillipgarrow2297]

Under the hood doesn't really empress me

[@delhenry9837]

Not to smart pulling the car out of the garage with the hood up!!!

[@Mncrr]

Chevrolet would be brilliant to bring this body style back with modern guts. Would outsell that Lamborghini looking poor excuse for a corvette they are making now. Tell me it’s a super car all you want it’s not a corvette. C6 was the last corvette

[@mitchf1508]

Who would put a stereo in the glove box door of a 67 Vette!!

[@RyanSampsonRPh]

They did some weird stuff back then. Luckily we found 2 brand new ones that came with the car!
