Wonderful!
Potential Bowtie car perhaps?

Kevin, Please enhance what "he 983" means.

I'm assuming 430 is hp. L88???

Hi Tom! Missed you at the local CCDV Show.....

A story she will make, no doubt! lol But, I don't she will be ready for the prime time players by the next meeting....? You know first impressions and all......

She's up on the lift and all checks out, motor (check), tranny (check), rear diff (check) and on and on, (check, check ,check)! I did just receive the latest '67 NCRS JM, and it's already getting greasy! lol

Sounds like good boxes to be checking off!

I was at the Cavalcade but got there late. Brought the 60 and parked in the grass. Walked around for a bit, talked to a few of the guys and left - started getting hot!

Looking forward to the story - maybe at Carlisle.

Kevin,
There are two of us blind squirrels! Found this car back in April. L79, 3.36, TI, M20, all original drive train. Seats are vinyl, trim tag says leather. Sat since 1989. Not trying to steal your thread, just find it interesting that there have been at least two 67 green coupes in long-term hiding.

Good afternoon Reverend,

First it's very nice of you to post, I encourage any and all input! You may not remember me but we met in St. Louis, and spoke the week later in length over the White C-3 convertible you were displaying. Nice '67 you found there and easily it can be seen yours was given better care and love....After a complete inspection and a thorough cleaning I will add some photos. The "discovery stage" is ongoing at this time, being my first (Holy Grail) Midyear Corvette, I have a little to learn!

So far, my findings are a complete car, very original with complete factory drivetrain. My new manual that just arrived is already earning some grease!

Thank you for sharing!

Re: They say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while!

Kevin,
I remember you and our conversations well. This is new ground for me, too. Learning as I go. Mine is a late April car—how about yours?
Mike

Michael, I'm flattered! It's been many years since our conversations.

This '67 is an early St. Louis February (G)build. Last night I printed out the judging sheets, now the fun really begins! To repeat myself, your find is in much better condition then mine......outside storage vs. indoors. Even so, it's a 1967 Corvette, a dream of mine since a was child (Uncle Robbie's fault), from the roller coaster thrill ride in '68. I'm also learning there were many before me, trying to buy this car, even a close friend of mine I've known since grade school! I won!! LOL
