Re: 1965 L78 Register

Gary, sent you a pm. have 3 of my own to add and others.

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Rick - and your '3' aren't currently on the xls list that Gary started or the C2Registry? And you know of others not on those lists? That's great, glad you are adding your info and 'theirs' to the lists we have going. I think the running total so far is 243, not yet 10% of the original 2157 but we're making a dent.

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Mike, Thanks no I don't see them on the C2 registry nor on the list here. Figured I would participate even though I like being under the radar As you may know the cars certainly deserve to be represented. I also have been meaning to respond to your email you sent about a month ago. My apologies! I will reach out in the next day or two.

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Hi Rick, Not a problem with the timing of responding to the old email. Since this new attempt to capture information on the 1965 L78's got started with Mike Ernst's thread in early July this year - https://www.forums.ncrs.org/showthre...-65-396-survey
There's been renewed interest in putting together a public list available to all who were interested. Gary Cowans has taken the lead on this and initiated the xls spreadsheet available here on the NCRS Forum as well as updating a duplicate list on the C2Registry.org. In the last half year or so, I've probably contacted around 20 owners to see if they were interested in adding their 65 396 Corvettes into to our lists and for the most part, have gotten positive responses. In the end, it's a personal decision whether to share that info or not and those lists mentioned only include information such as VIN numbers only if they've already been made public. Again, very glad to hear you are willing to add your L78's info to these lists, all three of them :-O. I'm looking forward to reading all about your L78's.

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Ron - Since Gary is in Australia, it might be a few more hours before we hear from him but I've just looked over Gary's xls spreadsheet and the C2Registry and didn't spot that VIN. Both those lists are actually duplicates but thought there might be a chance it's on one and not the other.
There are two VINs near that #16716 and that would be #16712 and #16717 but no listing for #16716. Have you recently run across this one?

Re: 1965 L78 Register

I believe 16716 was another "block only" mentioned by Bill Williamson on this forum. I noted the discussion on:

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Tom, I cannot find it on the Forum, can you post a copy of the link?

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Added and waiting for more info, Wayne.
I wont put them on the C2 Registry till we know if they are Coups or Convertibles

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Gary --certainly. Many of the ones I have are from eBay postings, most with photos. Some with Protect-O-Plate photos; some with original GM paperwork. I'll have to send them in dribs and drabs, (via email) and let you edit and insert in your lists according to VIN. I started collecting L78 data right after my purchase of 23564, in August of 1988.

Here's the 396 VINs which I obviously have not sorted in ascending order.




23162, 17144, 15702, 23444, 13160, 23340, 17183, 23556, 13762, 22212, 22701, 22400, 21527, 21604, 16211, 22301, 21570, 19402, 21604, 22283, 19431.

That's only 21, but I've left out there are nine which you already have; also you have probably added since. There's also a silver/silver conv. around town (1.3 million pop) that I don't know the VIN; will have to ask local Corvette shop.

Added and waiting on more info Wayne?
