To expand upon what Tim said... for education purposes - in 1967, Chevrolet only produced the big block Corvette (in all engine forms 390/400/435/430) at St. Louis. Small blocks were produced in both plants (AO Smith and St. Louis), however, side pipes were only installed in St. Louis.

In 1966 big blocks were produced in both plants but side pipes would have been unique to St. Louis.

I agree with what Tim said about this Corvette. It is a clone.
