Noland used my 67 serial number in 1987 at Bend Or. and found that G.M did pass through 35 Corvettes with the small block engine. Any-one know the number of vetts still out there that have a hood like mine with the small engine?? or has one??

Re: 67 BB hood
So your the one. Could you do some detailed pictures of certain areas for me, and do you have total proof. A pedigree of sorts from day one? -
Re: 67 BB hood
Roy,
Could you tell me what your serial number is? I suspect mine originally came with a BB hood based upon the info in Noland Adam's book. It was built during that timeframe and I have a small block hood but the hood support is on the driver's side.

Re: 67 BB hood
My 67 was built in March and has a SB hood with the hood support on the LH side. I am a bit suspicious that the hood has been changed due to differences in the hood fiberglass and the fiberglass in the rest of the car. What is the time frame and serial# range for these alleged 35 cars?Comment

Re: 67 BB hood S#
Noland saw my 67 at Bend Or. years ago and knowing I new it was original, checked it out with G.M and found that they did pass 35 Corvettes through the plant.He wrote articals in a number of Mags.Useing my #12345.March vett, that gave my Corvette documemtation. Now where my number is?? going back to #12311 or forward to #12379 I don't know. Some one ask Noland!The fiberglass hood is different on mine.Seems NCRS knows it too.Comment

Re: 67 BB hood
I DON'T want one. I don't like the look of big block hoods. Just curious.Comment

Re: 67 BB hood S#
Roy,
My 67 SB is 12116. So are you saying that mine does not fall into the range of serial numbers for SBs that got a BB hood? Thanks!

Re: 67 BB hood Nick
I'm saying that my # is 12345 and if 35 got through as Noland said, then which way would the numbers go? 34 higher or lower from MINE. If mine did, then wood the next cars too? and may be mine was the last.Comment

Re: 67 BB hood Nick
Roy,
I don't think we can go forward or backwards just 35 numbers. What we don't know is how many BBs there are spread among the 35 SBs that had a BB hood.
About 42% of 67 production was 427s. Taking that as an average it would mean a swing of 60-65 either way.
What doesn't compute to me is that I seem to recall Noland's book saying that BB hoods were used for a few days. At that time they were averaging around 100 cars a day. That serial number range is less than a day! I have sent email to Noland.
