If you’re ever in the market for the rarest, most unusual, interesting, and historic Corvettes on the planet, look no further than Corvette Mike!

Case in point. The stunning 1967 Coupe presented here.

This ’67 Corvette is the only known, documented example of a Factory Shop Order Corvette. The car was built especially for Bob Wingate by Joe Pike of Chevrolet Product Promotions, as a special favor and reward. Wingate led the nation for a number of years in a row for single handedly selling the most Corvettes for an individual . . . over 160 in 1967 alone! This car was built right on the Corvette factory assembly line in St. Louis. And it’s been restored back to the way it was delivered new to Bob Wingate. Everything you see on the car came stock right from the factory! In addition to the regular available options, Wingate’s car came with full body racing stripe, American Racing Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in Goodyear Blue Streak tires, no front bumpers, and in the rear, the soon to be endlessly emulated six taillight treatment! Even the Goodyear decal on the front turn signals is factory! On the inside, a special Teakwood steering completely the package! Under the Stinger hood rests the mighty L71 427ci/435hp big block mated up to a 4-speed manual transmission. But what makes this drivetrain package unusual is the fact that it was special order with a wide ratio M20, instead of the close ratio M21. Bob requested this because he intended to autocross the car and felt this set up would be more useful. And it definitely was, as Bob was quite successful on the racing circuit with this very car!
