While a bright red convertible might grab the attention of the local police, it's also certain to garner praise from real car enthusiasts, especially fans of classic Corvettes. That's certainly the case with this Rally Red 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, which was just auctioned off on Bring A Trailer for a not too staggering price of $72,000. What makes this speedster even more impressive is that it is powered by a replacement 454 big block engine.
