MVP Corvette from '67 Super Bowl

[Tim G.]

Did anyone watch the HBO special about the first Super Bowl that was on last night? As MVP of the game, Bart Star received a 1967 Corvette Roadster. The car looked as if it was silver/black with red line tires, rally wheels, and sidepipes. Definitely a small block car, I would imagine a 350 horse due to the sidepipes. It had to be a four speed car as sidepipes could not be ordered with base motor and automatic and the 350 horse motor could only be ordered with a manual transmission.
Anyone know where that car is today? Quite a rare piece if it is around.

I know nothing of the MVP car but our dealership got a number of base motor automatic 67s with side pipes. Now that said they were Shrine Corvette Patrol cars so they were not typical of the normal dealer ordered cars.

Bart sold the car shortly after and used the proceeds to start a nonprofit orginization called Rawhide Boys Ranch. Its a place where he and his wife help troubled youth and is still going strong today in New London, WI.

That car was at Bloomington, perhaps circa 2000 or so. It was parked on the side on the main aisle (or gravel roadway, whatever you want to call it) with a display poster telling about the car. I do not recall any particulars of who had it there, or if it was for sell or anything like that. At this point I cannot even confirm that it was silver, but I do recall seeing "Bart Star's Corvette"
