I purchased it new in 1965 and have old pictures and documentation that may interest any potential buyers. I also traveled to calif. in 2006 viewed the car owned by Bob Schiro I can give them a honest description and condition the fuelie appears now. Please contact me at (630) 669-6985

Nice car,
Wonder if you might know why such an original car would have the wrong rocker panel moldings?

The engine pad is very different than many I've seen. The low hanging 1 and spacing between the 5 and the 0 look like it was free formed and not stamped with a gang stamp. The double hit on assembly pad is interesting too with V being very low.

Another pet peeve of mine is when they call a car without a radio a "Radio Delete". It's not a delete, its no radio option. "Heater Delete" on the other hand I believe was a "Delete".

Edit: Wait a minute, a V in the assembly code?

Nice looking car but there are many things that are incorrect and not original, including the engine. My guess is the odometer broke at 29062.

I hope somebody puts that driver side wiper underneath the pass side where it belongs...

I hate to say to much about the car, I ordered a am/fm radio, tele column, T.I ignition, knock-off wheels, and when I sold the car in 1967 it had 45,000 miles. Look at the pictures and you can see many items that have been changed. Cary at D&M Corvette was with me when I went to view can in calif. engine, rear end, fuel unit, dist, I can go on and on.

I don't know what you are trying to say about D&M I only said that Cary who has been restoring Corvettes for 35 years was my expert when we looked at the car

When did Flint switch from "F" to a "V"? I know it should be a "F", but I didn't know they ever used a "V". It was after my cars were born.

F stamp was for Flint small blocks 1955-1966 then for 1967 and later small blocks V was used for Flint V8 Engine Plant.

V replaced F for the 1967 model year.

Don't walk, RUN (away) if you are looking for an original car.

Re: 1965 Fuelie on ebay

I'm fairly new to the Forum... do you guys often critique "original" Corvettes for sale on the web?

I think it's both educational (I learned from this thread), and provides a service by calling out questionable cars and sellers.

Maybe this could be a weekly educational event: The Forum moderator/facilitator (do we have one of those?) picks out an "original" car for sale, then we all practice and share our judging skills.

Vincent,

Are you saying that the engine, rear end, fuel unit, distributor have been changed since you owned it?

Yes,
Threads like this do come up. Most of the time it's when a seller is representing a car that may not be exactly what it is said to be in the ad.

It is very educational and sometimes entertaining.

The all time classic was before my time. I think it was a '67 L71 with the super rare engine assembled at Fonawanda.
