Just to let you know that two years ago it was discover in a barn find in Puerto Rico a car that i personally inspected in the as find condition as Puerto Rico Judging Chairman, the car retains its originals vin and trim tags and distintive components that prove is a 67 silver with red interior 427 -400hp car. Car has undergone a bolt and nuts professional restoration and is expected to be presented for judging at our December Chapter Flight Judging event...

But the car you are referring to is not the car in question here being sold at Mecum, correct?

I assume Mike is correct? You are referring to 427 400 car that is restored and the car in question is an unrestored (allegedly) 327 300 car. Big difference between a JC and an HE car. ARA

Your correct, the car i describe is a one of the others coupes that are mention on the Mecum car description that were offered to gm executives. This is a big block car. Is owned by a Puerto Rico chapter member.

The auction car was mentioned on some other discussion boards. Including the car located in PR, an informal count of other silver/red '67s indicates that at least 11 of the original five cars are now accounted for.

" at least 11 of the original five cars are now accounted for"...is this "new math", Michael? Pretty funny

Does anyone here have personal information or insight on this car? And how did 'they' determine there were only 5 produced in this color combination?https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail.cfm...=CH1014-195808[ATTACH=CONFIG]54977[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]54978[/ATTACH]

I also had a car in the special collection at Bloomington Gold in 2006. This car was there too and to my eye was a nice original example of a silver/red 67. I don't think that anyone knows for sure how many silver/red 67s were produced but I am sure it can't be a lot. It was top flighted in 2011 so I would bet the tags are real along with the paperwork being real since it was validated by NCRS. Regardless, at the end of the day its a pretty rare car in a desirable color combo. I would guess that it would do well. Disclaimer, I am not the owner of the car nor do I work for the auction company

Not that anyone can forecast auction results, but let's try this exercise. The highest price I found for a '67 PG 300hp roadster selling at Mecum was $70k. This was a nicely restored green/saddle leather highly optioned (PB, PS,PW, Bolt-ons, factory AC, leather, speed warning, red lines, tinted glass) car at the recent Dallas auction.
(Lot F122) https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail.cfm...=DA0914-193443

Can a low optioned (PS) unrestored silver/red car bring as much?

Just as there is no information on how many cars were built in that combination, there is no information on how many have been Flight Judged ;^]

NCRS judges the car, but does not validate its authenticity.

Also Mecums disclaimer puts all the credibility of the description on the seller;

Possibly all of them, possibly even more than 11.

Which means they can lie like a rug & get away with it. At least BJ makes you prove NCRS & BG awards.
