agree with cg on the vette, plus need to see the side coves and or back up light above plate on back for a 67 if i'm not mistaken

tdave00 · 01-30-2009, 01:23 AM

Nice find. I have never met anyone that didn't like vette's. What's wrong with you guys

.

IvelDesigns · 01-30-2009, 02:11 AM

nice find there leon. both of those would be fun projects to have.

Andy4639 · 01-30-2009, 06:13 AM

Truck: Great looking 4x4. Get rid of the shell and drive it. Buy both of them and sale the corvette and make back all your money.
Corvette is a 65, 66, maybe 67 but it's not a 427 unless they changed the hood. The factory 427's had the center scoop with the badges on it.
Look at this one

or this one. Notice the hood!

68C15 · 01-30-2009, 07:00 AM

yeah, I notice the hood. the front facia looks killer too. while were at it the car is cool too.

BluTrukker · 01-30-2009, 09:53 AM

What is he asking for them? I would be interested in both if the price is right

BluTrukker · 01-30-2009, 09:55 AM

I don't see the car in the pic above, is it one of those magic eye things?!

rambler · 01-30-2009, 10:27 AM

so did you buy them yet?

MrPhotographer06 · 01-30-2009, 10:36 AM

I don't know "anything" about Corvettes but the guy that owns the building where it's stored said the VIN indicates it is a true 427, 4 speed car...

I haven't heard from the owners son yet. He is supposed to contact me with the info on both and prices. It may be a day or two.

I love the idea of being debt free, but I do believe I would take out a second on the house to get that vette.

the big block "stinger" hood is a 67 only thing. the hood on the bb vette in question is a 66, no scoop but a distint oddly shaped buldge. since i cant could someone post a pic of a shiney 66 bb vette?

**CPNE** · 01-30-2009, 03:25 PM

as requested

I just figured someone needed to throw these comparisons up again

Andy4639 · 01-30-2009, 03:58 PM

brad_man_72,
You are right on the 67 hood. I'm not trying to say that it is or isn't.
I was just trying to state it's hard to say by a picture alone.
The body really doesn't tell you anything until you pop the hood open and see the motor. Hopefully it's a 427. If not it's stil a nice car to have.

right, you could put either of the bb hoods on any of the 63-67. i was assuming it was correct, original, unmolested. other than the hoods and a 63 split i have no idea how to tell any of the midyear vettes apart.

sameyrasmea72 · 01-31-2009, 12:32 AM

The side vents or gills are one good way. The 67 is the only year to have 5 verticle gills.

Ilike 72"s · 01-31-2009, 01:03 AM

Heck with the hood. I want to look under the hood. That's where its at.

**70cst** · 01-31-2009, 08:51 AM

Geeeeeeeee...I could not afford the insurance on the Vette. Nice find.

It's not as bad as you think. Heck I could afford insurance on my 69 427 Vette at age 16. It was my very first mortgage.

Brock396 · 01-31-2009, 11:16 AM

you could buy four or five of those trucks for what that vette is worth

see ten · 01-31-2009, 11:26 AM

I'd put a new top on the vette and roll it as is...just to see who I could piss off.

Andy4639 · 01-31-2009, 12:13 PM

I'd like to roll that in a Barrett Jackson Auction and see what kind of money it brought as is.
