Last C2 Corvette Convertible Built Is Also One of Just 815 in This Configuration

This rare Tuxedo Black beauty is also the very last C2 Corvette convertible to roll off the assembly line.

In the world of the Corvette and most everything else, the first and last of anything built is special. Particularly when we’re talking about the second-generation of the legendary sports car, one of the more beloved designs in automotive history. But this – the last C2 Corvette convertible ever built – is special for a number of other reasons as well, and now someone will get the chance to bring it home after it crosses the block at Mecum’s Indy auction.

Aside from being the last C2 Corvette convertible ever built, this 1967 model is also one of just 815 that were finished in Tuxedo Black in that particular model year, and it certainly looks amazing decked out in that hue. It also has just 44,168 actual miles on the clock, and has garnered an NCRS Top Flight award along the way. There’s plenty of documentation as one might imagine with a vehicle like this, including a full ownership history, a copy of the original Protect-O-Plate, judging sheets, and trim tag affirmation certificates.

Peek inside, and you’ll see an equally pristine black interior, which is the perfect match for the car’s black exterior paint, removable hardtop, and soft top. This is a simply equipped car, but features a few notable amenities including power steering, an AM/FM radio, Soft Ray tinted windshield, headrests, and not much else.

This particular 1967 Corvette is powered by GM’s 327 cubic-inch small block V8, originally rated to produce 300 horsepower, which flows to the wheels via a Muncie M20 four-speed manual gearbox and Positraction rear end. The C2 rolls on a nice-looking set of Rally wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich 7.75×15 Silvertown Redline tires, helping to retain its OEM factory goodness.

As the last of a very special breed, this 1967 Corvette convertible is expected to attract some rather  serious attention at auction, with an estimated hammer price of between $200,000-$250,000. But given its condition and prominence, that isn’t terribly difficult to see happening in this day and age of soaring collector car prices.
