Think I see three coupes.

Yes, Harry, I think you're right...
Top row 3rd from right ?
middle row 2nd from right ?
bottom row 2nd from right ?

and that shoots my theory...

MT Rader wheels, some shoe polish, and 340 hp make a 63 owner and his kids mighty proud.

It would be nice to check out the crayon codes on the rear bulkhead. A 1967 Smith body has a I 27 build date but the crayon code is K 27.

I believe the K27 was a 'Job Number'... where AOS used a prefix LETTER code, while StL did not (as seen below):

Again, looks like a black metal part (in the middle back).

Looks like a seat support.

Tim and Harry,

The '67 AIM shows that part as an underbody reinforcement forward of the gas tank area - item #9

Two spots above, I was commenting on the color of the part (not green like other Dow Smith supports).

Yes it is now. That's not me however. That person was special forces Vietnam era. The car was restored by Steven Walker in 1993 and has received virtually every award imaginable. Many top flights, most recently in May of 2023. 427/400. Records dating back to the original owner, tank sheet, invoice, etc. CCAS verified numbers - the real deal as they say. Also own a 63 and 2020.

The Vettes sure sound good echoing through Thunder Valley. The brats and corn on the cob are great too! I worked with a fellow who's mom lived in the white farm house across the road. Just a few decades ago. 😲
