Production # for 1967 327/350 with AC

[Bill C.]

hey ...

just wondering if these figures are correct....

# made cost
C60 Air Conditioning 3,788 412.90

ENGINE CODE	SUFFIX	HORSEPOWER	PRODUCTION
L79	HP	350	34
L79	KH	350	77

** got the above info from a tech article

http://www.google.com/patents/US7738672

and if these suffix codes
HP .. 327..350 . 1x4BC, Hi-Lift Cam, A/C, P/S & 4-Spd
KH . 327..350 .1x4BC, Hi-L Cam, K19, A/C, P/S, 4-Sp

are the only way to have gotten factory AC on the 327/350 cars...

or could these get it also (if ordered)
HT .. 327..350 . 1x4BC, Hi-LiftCam & 4-Speed
HD . 327..350 .. 1x4BC, Hi-LiftCam, K19 & 4-Speed

ENGINE CODE	SUFFIX	HORSEPOWER	PRODUCTION
L79	HT	350	3226
L79	HD	350	398

Thanks in advance.

HT is 350 with 4 speed which can have AC and still have the HT code, HP is 350 with 4 speed, PS and AC, HD is 350 with smog and AC. You could have an L79 with AC and without PS (HT code).

Bill,
Very nice car. Did you buy it from a dealer out of NJ? A 350hp PS AC car is a rare car. Very nice. I have a 350hp Smog leather redline, etc car. PS makes the engine code HP as opposed to HT for a 350hp AC non-PS car. Nice score. Enjoy it. I think the L79 motor is one of the best driving motors GM ever built....ARA

Ara -

yes it is from the dealer in NJ.

I been looking for a very long time, and this car just give me a good feeling.

its #s match car and has most all correct (important/expensive) parts on it.

Was told it had one repaint in lacquer 15+ years back and the seat covers/carpet were replaced.
otherwise - all original body, interior, chassis, etc...
it is a 68K mile car, titled with actual mileage, and all title history back to 1st owner..

great car to drive around for several years and maybe do a proper restoration on it later.

Hello;
Seems to me I read someone started a registry for L79 with A/C Corvettes.
Can't find it at this writing.
L79s have always been a favorite here

I would thing most AC equipped 67'S would have PS & PB + other options. I had 4 67 AC 350 HP Corvettes & all 4 2 coup & 2 Conv. had PS.

Re: Production # for 1967 327/350 with AC

hey ...

thanks for all the great input...

I am really happy about the car. It is going to be fun to drive and not have to trailer it around.

I am soooooo tired of having cars that you are always looking over your shoulders because of. I will be glad to not get anxiety when I see a rain cloud coming my way.. :-)))

I hope to be able to drive the car to Texas in the fall.
maybe even get it judged once just to see how far off things are and get a nice baseline to work off of.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

JG: Interesting listing and of value to everyone. Was it possible to break out the subdivision categories like code "HW", L79, A/C, 4 spd and TI?

My 67 c60 car doesn't have power brakes nor power steering.

One of our AZ NCRS chapter has a C-2 with AC & is a 3 speed. I love the old cars people added the options they want NOT what the manufactures make you buy now.
