They forgot something

Nice ride Mark,
I might be mistaken, but the dash tab rivets ( three different pics ) should have been painted the same color ( silver ) as the exterior.

The restorer was smart, but not smart enough - the "BA" ECL suffix on the 419 trim code says the car was originally built WITHOUT a hardtop or Powerglide, and it's NOT "1 of 1" or "GM-documented". More eBay "Marketing 101" at work, and he's high on something if he thinks he'll get more than his own starting bid for it (from a knowledgeable buyer, anyway). :eyerole

If I ever buy another Corvette, John, I want you standing right beside me.

That's a foolish starting bid. My pristine 1967 with NOM and new frame and paint can be had for for $35,000-40,000. But what do I know?

 

[stepinwolf]

Funny thing

Looks as though great minds think alike.

Incorrect car, high starting bid, and both the buyer and seller look as though they are in the exact same ( Canada, West Coast ) geographical area. I wouldn't want to bad-mouth anyone, but any chance this would be coincidence ? :eyerole

 

[stepinwolf]

I'm interested

If ever you car , " as you say " can be had for about 35K, just give me a call and tell me what name you would like on the check.

Dollars US of course. That seems to be the market price these days for NOM/327 cars. I was being facetious about selling. What with new paint and interior it's almost "there" (famous last words!) and a joy to drive.

Last words

Paul79,

Enjoy it for all it's worth, I was only pulling your " Richard ", or was I,

eh, now that I think about it, I don'no anymore.

One Of One........Yeah..I got your One of One

VNV,
You've been on EBay too much. I've seen those 1 of 1 auctions. Oops, I have been there as well. So let's do trivia! Know how many 1967s had a 327/300 with Powerglide? Out of a production run of 22,940?

The answer is....1,725. So I have a "rare" car that nobody wants. Except me. How many were converted to four-speeds? (And that leaves me with Powerslide.) Not to mention Goodwood Green becoming re-sale Red. We are now talking really rare. For the spec freaks, who love numbers, we are now down to a Goodwood Green 1967 327/300 with Powerglide with the original colour. My guess is 1,000. I am off to Barrett-Jackson next summer. Mine is a "rare" and highly desireable vintage automobile.....$75,000?

Just a little levity for this evening. Had a nice drive with Wife this morning before the heat set in. Love these cars! Cooling was good at 180 and 200 in traffic. So at 86F heat this car is performing well. Hope that 502 conversion works for you. I can't imagine the torque that 67Heaven and you have!

I'm doing weekly visits to the chiropractor now, but it's all worth it. :gap

Paul, if I never do the same car twice, every one of my projects is a 1 of 1

 

[paul67]

I have never understood that 1 of 1 pitch on EBay....
