Fresh off the trailer and into the collection. 1967 Corvette 327 Coupe, factory air, powerglide, numbers match, 76,577 actual miles. This Corvette was in the care of one owner for the past 31-years.
As neat as the car is, my experience buying is proof that the Corvette hobby is littered with some really great people.

T.Michaelis spent much of January watching and participating in the classic Corvette market
ProTeam’s ’62 Corvette Convertible, GM styling shop order car S.O.10224 spent some time as an invited guest at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and Tour d’Elegance. Great car and an even better event. It was honor to sit alongside some of the storied cars on the show circuit. It was even a bigger thrill to run alongside them on the tour. Learn and see more of this special car at the ProTeam website see more images from its weekend at Amelia Island here and here.
'62 SO 10224 at the Amelia Island 2012 Tour
with a flurry of classic car action in Florida. I will be in Amelia Island for the Concours d’Elegance traveling with our 1962 GM styling shop order car S.O.10224 at the annual invitation only event this weekend (March 9th-11th).
Then I will be traveling to the Auctions America by RM event in Ft. Lauderdale looking for some more horse power to add to the ProTeam Classic Corvette world class inventory. Follow ProTeam on twitter for dispatches from the road or like ProTeam on Facebook for more.
All signs show 2012 is going to be a good year for the classic Corvette hobby. I tend to agree. terry@proteamcorvette.com
