This ominous Tuxedo Black 1967 Corvette L89, 427/435 hp roadster, red stinger hood and new red interior and benefited from an extensive frame-off rotisserie restoration and could be one of only sixteen L89 Corvettes built in 1967.  This Corvette is not an all original, NCRS Topflight certified, L89 Corvette like the one that sold for 1.2 million dollars at Mecum Auction, with build sheet and comprehensive owner history.  This Corvette is an incredible 427/435 horsepower roadster that could be a real L89 Corvette with an impressive list of correct L89 equipment, including a numbers matching 427/435hp engine that has a very correct, consistent engine stamp, with broach marks, ridges and is date code correct for the car's build date. The engine pad also displays the correct IU suffix that translates as a  L89 427/435hp engine with aluminum heads.  Based on the original trim tag on the car, this Corvette was born an original Ermine White car, code-972, with Blue stinger hood and code-414, Bright Blue interior and for better or worse, a previous owner did a color change to Tuxedo Black with red stinger hood and red interior.  I would normally consider that an upgrade, but maybe not on this car. Without credible owner history and original paperwork for the car, we can't prove or disprove the L89 authenticity and the car is priced accordingly.  If we could, we would paint the car white and wait for much bigger check. Whether this is an authentic L89 Corvette or not, it is powered by a numbers matching 427/435 horsepower engine and is topped off with newly rebuilt and date code correct L89 aluminum heads and currently has the original L89 heads on the side, that would need to be rebuilt before being used. The cost of the L89 heads would be around 10k alone, if you could find them. The L89 aluminum heads did not increase power in 1967, but lightened the load 75 pounds and definitely increased the resale value for the sixteen L89 cars produced.  The internal engine components are also built to L89 specifications and will not work with non aluminum 435hp heads and it may require higher octane to get the best out of this 1967 street beast.     The red interior has recently been completed and is impeccable with newer seat covers, carpet, door panels, a refurbished dash with clear crisp gauges and is topped off with a new black convertible top. The car has many 427/435 only options including, 6500 tachometer, 80psi oil pressure gauge, heavy duty big block suspension, correct big block half shafts and have duty sway bar. This rare American Dream Machine shifts into high gear by a Muncie M-21 4-speed manual transmission and is nicely optioned with rumbling factory side exhaust and turbine style bolt on wheels and redline radials.
