The "Last"™ Corvette is a 1967 Corvette Coupe, 427-390 hp, 4 speed, VIN #22940 with Silver Pearl paint with Black interior and optioned with a L-36 427-390 engine, factory air conditioning, side dual exhaust, power steering, telescopic steering column, 3.55 positract axle, M-21 close ratio transmission, AM/FM radio, tinted glass, and red stripe tires. VIN #22940 was built at the St. Louis Corvette Assembly Plant on July 12th, 1967, delivered new to Richardson Chevrolet in Houston, Texas and is documented with factory tank sticker (build sheet), Oklahoma license plates The "LAST"™ 67, owner history, old 1967 photos, old title, and a commemorative "Last"™ Corvette t-shirt, and ongoing restoration photos.

This Corvette marks many milestones; the "Last"™ 1967 Corvette, the "Last"™ real Corvette, the "Last"™ mid-year, the "Last"™ mid-year big block, the "Last"™ stingray, the "Last"™ C-2, the "Newest" 1967 Corvette, the "End" of a great era of the Corvette, and harbinger to the end of American muscle.

We thought it would be nice to give you a little history of this car, ProTeam's purchase, and our promotional efforts

This is a car that was called into ProTeam for sale in approximately 1994 for $18,000.00.

As our interest increased so did the price to $25,000.00 so we passed and threw the information in the round file.

Shortly thereafter, Bill Mock negotiated the purchase of this car down to $22,940.00 which was one dollar per sequential VIN number and added it to his collection of Corvettes.

In early 2005, ProTeam sold several significant Corvettes and needed a like kind Corvette to wrap a promo around and feature as the cornerstone of our collection.

Re-enter Bill Mock, who we were told by Gary Nabers of Houston might sell the "Last"™ Mid-Year Corvette ever produced but he wanted $250,000.00 for it and it needed total restoration.

A deal was struck in late May to purchase this awesome but needy hulk for ten (10) times the final sequential VIN of #22940 THAT'S RIGHT!! $229,400.00 and still needing restoration... one might say we were nuts!!!

Since then many Corvette part vendors/suppliers have come forward to supply parts to help in the restoration that is taking place at Naber's Brothers Restoration in Houston, Texas. Please support these vendors as they provide valuable reproduction parts & services to the Corvette hobbyists.

Late August 2005, Lance Miller of Carlisle Productions and Terry Michaelis inked a deal where ProTeam would give $40,000.00 on a matching contributions basis to The Chip Miller Charitable Foundation to raise funds and awareness of the little known disease Amyloidosis which was responsible for the taking of one of our hobby's best friends and great ambassadors, Chip Miller.

VIN #22940 was displayed in its raw unrestored state at the 2005 Bloomington Gold show in St. Charles, Illinois and then at Corvette at Carlisle in August 2005. The 1967 will revisit the Bloomington Gold show again in June 2006 to be presented at a gala VIP and participant gathering where a check on behalf of the participants of the "Last"™ project will be given to Lance Miller as a contribution to the Chip Miller Foundation.

It would be great but highly unlikely if the "Last"™ Corvette promo would produce a return on investment but now our concern is the restoration and promotion of the "Last"™ Corvette.

Many many magazines have expressed interest in their participation!

A TV producer associated with Speed Channel and History Channel has also expressed his desire to do a six part program on this car, its history, its restoration, and the big story of all of those of you involved in a small or big way.

Best Regards,
