The car is a late December 1967 Build.I have validated the correct Block 3914678 part number with a December 1st 1967 timestamp.It is an HP block which is correct for an L79 equipped with a manual transmission, air conditioning and power steering. The block has the VIN clearly stamped and matches with the pillar tag.The cylinder heads are correct 3917291 part numbers with a November 24th and December 1st 1967 time stamp.Intake part number is correct L79 with a December 8th time stamp.The transmission case has the VIN clearly stamped and matches with the pillar tag.The car is equipped with a spread bore Holley carburetor which I believe is correct for a 1967 L79 but 68's should have a Quadra-jet.

This was a local garage find car that has been driven sparingly for the last 30 plus years. The paint and body does have all the nicks and scratches you would expect for a 50 plus year old paint job that has gone 90k miles.The convertible top is original and is in rough shape but the frame and brackets are in 100% operational condition.The car is in running and driving order and the BF Radial TA tires have very few miles on them.It starts easily, runs like a top, vacuum headlights are in 100% working order, as are the power windows.The oil has just been changed with Lucas High Zinc oil and a Wix filter.

This car is prime for Bowtie or Survivor class judging as it still retains an incredible number of original parts.
