HOLY GRAIL TWO: for 1967 Corvettes the most sought after and highly valued of the street cars is a 435 in black. Roy Sinor, former NCRS Judging Chairman, described this one as “the lowest mile black/black 435 coupe out there and that could arguably claim to be the best out there”:

10,182 mile survivor, original everything including paint, interior, exhaust, non-DOT tires, belts, hoses, clamps, etc. Purchased new by Michael “Mick” Losen, Cortland, Ohio, from Don Allen Chevrolet, Miami, FLA, Jan 20, 1967. There being no suitable Corvettes in his area due to the GM strike, Mick, 22 and recently out of the Army and back from Vietnam, and his wife Sue found this car in stock while on a brief vacation combined with a car hunt. List $5904.25. $5277.85 lien from Union Savings & Trust, Warren, Ohio. Ohio Certificate of Title 458727, dated Feb 14/67. Mick and Sue lived in a trailer park and sacrificed restaurants and vacations to keep the car for the following 10 years. Original documents include dealer Bill of Sale, tank sheet, owner manual and POP, first registration, keys, photos when new, letters from Mick Losen, etc. Total of 13 Top Flight Awards, in addition to 2 Performance Verifications and a Duntov; also a Golden Award of Excellence from The Veteran Motor Car Club of America (1982).
