World's Only 1967 Chevrolet Corvette FSO Car Is for Sale, Likely Worth a Fortune

The latter is arguably the scarcest and most sought-after, and one of many C2 Corvettes that changed hands for millions of dollars at public auction. However, the green coupe you see here stands out as a true one-of-one classic. And I'm not talking about a mundane Corvette with a unique color/options combo. Nope, this rig was born as a special-order vehicle and sports features you won't find on another 1967 Corvette.

Finished in the very sexy Goodwood Green metallic with a white stripe running across the hood, roof, and decklid, this C2 has a Grand Sport-inspired appearance with a front bumper delete, side-mounted exhaust pipes, and no fewer than six taillights (three on a side). Yes, it looks like a nicely-crafted custom, but this 'Vette was not built by a tuning shop. Believe it or not, this is exactly how it rolled off the assembly line nearly 60 years ago.

"What the heck is going on here?" is a legit question at this point, and I'm going to give you a name: Bob Wingate. Don't know who Bob Wingate is? Well, he was known as "Mr. Corvette" because he sold more 'Vettes than anyone else. This Goodwood Green is not one of the cars he sold, but a vehicle that Chevrolet built for him as a reward for his outstanding sales figures. 

A Factory Shop Order (FSO) car, this Corvette had all its unique features installed directly on the production line. Yup, this includes the six-taillight setup, which you won't see on any other street-spec Corvette from the era.

Built by Joe Pike of Chevrolet Product Promotions, the C2 rolled off the assembly line with a very potent drivetrain combo. Mr. Wingate picked the 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) L71 engine with 435 horsepower and the M20 wide-ratio four-speed manual gearbox.

The mill itself is relatively rare, having been ordered by only 3,754 customers back in 1967. That's only 16.4% of the total production. I'm not going to factor in the coupe layout and the green paint because we already know this Corvette is a true one-off.

The C2 is actually one of four special-order Corvettes built for Mr. Wingate. It was the first of the bunch, followed by an L89 coupe in 1968. This Corvette was among the first to feature 17-inch American Racing wheels. The final FSO Wingate car was reportedly a 1970 drop-top with an LT1 engine and Bridgehampton Blue paint.

Restored to as-delivered specs, it's the only known and documented example of a Factory Shop Order C2. It also looks downright stunning inside and out, including under the hood. And here's the even crazier thing: you can actually buy it!

This amazing piece of Corvette history is scheduled to go under the hammer at Mecum's Kissimmee 2026 auction on January 16. Mecum doesn't provide a pricing estimate, but this Corvette could change hands for over half a million bucks.

This unique classic is one of no fewer than 31 second-generation Corvettes scheduled to go under the hammer at the said event. The auction includes quite a few desirable big-block V8 examples.
