Does anyone have any concrete information about this Corvette 194677S104745? The car is a 427/400 a/c convertible. Thank you.

Do a web search of the entire VIN and you will get plenty of hits. It appears the car was seized by the US government in 2009, for reasons I couldn't find, and auctioned for a little more than 100k. There have been postings about this car on this forum or the other one saying it was bought for considerably more than that a few years ago.

Don't know anything about the car, but a quick search popped up quite a bit of info............................

From another forum

194677S104745 was sold for $US103,000 at a Special Auction by the U.S. Treasury on June 3, 2010 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

It was grabbed by the government as a result of Fort Lauderdale attorney Scott Rothstein's massive Ponzi scheme and was sold at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale. Proceeds went to a restitution fund to help pay victims of Rothstein's $1.4 billion fraud scheme.

The car is red on black and is loaded with a/c, p/s, p/b, p/w, hardtop, leather, headrests, tint, tele, trans. ignition and side pipes. We bought the car at the gov't auction but were wondering if anyone knew about the car previously.

Denis, thanks for the link. I just don't know why this car has not sold. I am ready to lose money on a big block corvette!! The stars must be mis-aligned like crazy.

Does you have all the documentation? I'd guess that if the Feds seized the car, they didn't get the documentation.

Re: 1967 Corvette 427/400

The documentation we have is a copy of the window sticker and receipts for a mechanical and interior restoration that was done within the last 5 years.
