Former Jackson Family Corvette now owned by LJ Engels, lots of recent updates including new roll cage, suspension upgrades, re-wired & plumbed, new interior etc. Hopefully will see some super stock action this summer.

Schnelker & Losher G/gas Corvette from Fort Wayne Indiana, probably the best time capsule I've ever come across, was parked around 1973. Still retains the 287 & Doug Nash trans it was last raced with.

That body sure looks like a 1967 to me!

Well, looks are deceiving! Back then body modifications were as common as switching engines, whatever it took to take advantage of the rules.

Looks like a 67 for sure......

i have owned 48 Corvettes and am pretty familiar
with them including a 1966 427 Roadster and a 67 427
coupe back when they were new!

In this case looks are not deceiving.
Can you tell by my screen name I should know a 63 when I see it.
First off no split window in the rear glass. 63 was the only year with a split window.
Second the fender well has multi vent slots some call it a 5 slot.
The 66 model fenders had a 3 slot.
Other mid years have insets not slots.
I have owned all of the mid year models over the years and currently have a 67 427 roadster. My favorite.
I am no expert however, it is a1967 body shown no doubts.
