Sharp looking car - seller claims it's 1 of 444 ordered with the L-79 engine and AC.

67 with l79 and air is pretty rare

This seller has sold decent drivers in the past.

L79 with C60 is not often found. Would love to see the chassis on this one.

444 is correct, according to Noland Adams for L-79 and C60.

Seller mentions the car was flared at one point in time, and I assume the repairs are evident or he wouldn't disclose it. That is a big demerit.

Those tags scare me. Looks like they may have been off the car. AO Smith tags always confuse me. If I am reading that right, it's AO Smith coupe body #623, but chassis #10,778. Maybe that's right for an AO Smith car, but needs close research. Also, that blackout on the Z-bar is not right for an AO Smith body. It would be mostly Zinc Dichromate on the face of the bar with body color overspray to the outboard pass side.

Somewhere in Canada there was a guy (named Blair, I think) who had a real 435 convert in white with saddle leather. This was about 10 years ago he sold it. It's a killer color scheme. I probably would have bought that one but the logistics of inspecting it and buying it out of Canada ran me off the deal.

----One of my favorite combo's color wise. Literally around 50 years ago I had a 427/400 white w/ saddle interior AC coupe. Sold it fairly quickly to a buddy as it had been hit pretty hard in the front. Then,,,about 3 years ago at Bloomington Gold the car showed up very nicely restored. I couldn't believe it and neither could the current owner and his son.
----This 67 has some odd stuff going on. The AC stuff under the hood appears to be run incorrectly. Passenger headlight bucket seems mis-aligned. I like the car though at the right price and without the hood...Bill S

Here is my 63 white / saddle leather. I love the color scheme.

13K original miles, but after 60 years the GM leather is basically petrified. This year it's time to put new Al Knoch seat covers on it to bring the seats up to the caliber of the rest of the original interior.

There's a white/blue leather L79 on the way to Austin. California car when new with the smog pump still on.

They had to turn it sideways to load it.

----Why am I not surprised, Tim! You are one of the most savvy Corvette guys out there. Can't wait to see some pics.....Bill S

----I know you are saying "petrified" but I'd love to see closer pics as those covers don't look like they should be replaced,,,JMHO! Be a little more expensive, but maybe do another complete set of seats for this jewel , and save these museum pieces???.....Bill S

I fully agree. I have another complete set of 63 seat frames I am taking to Redi-Strip, powder-coating semi-gloss black, then will rebuild to replace these. Not tearing the originals apart!

[TimG]

Bill, it's nearly impossible to find small block coupes these days. Most have been converted to 435's or restomods. This is a nice one.

[Too Many Projects]

Not usually drawn to White cars, but I would take ANY of the cars in this post...:drool:

----Tim,,,I'm thinking that you would remember that 67 I said I used to own. You were at BG as we talked a couple of times. The car was very nice, but had a few things to straighten out as it was his 1st time showing it anywhere.....Bill S

It looks slippery out. I'd be afraid it would slide and mess up the driver's side.

I usually loathe white cars, but I really like the black stripe on the stinger hood on white.

Since we are talking about white cars. Here is my 67 L79 that I have owned for 30 years. I restored it in 2007 earned National Top Flight.
I have not seen another 67 white/blue/white/white. I am sure they are out there just have not seen one. I did see a BB coupe in this scheme.

Tim do you have any interior pics you can post?

Bill,
When I read post #7 I thought the same thing …… no, don’t do that!
Original leather seats that look good enough to me.

I love how you think.

Sounds like they will be preserved after all …. on the shelf.
