Default Looking for 1963-1967 corvette

Know any clean ones for sale? Looking for a driver, not a numbers car.

If it is the body I am thinking of I know of one for sale, last I knew at least. The dealership/husband wife I bought my TA from had I believe a 67' Vette with the 400 or something. Not to familiar with cars engines and that back beyond the mid 80's so not 100% sure on numbers. Still has original paint, minimal miles and a 3-spd IIRC. Was told by my dad he is pretty sure it would beat my TA stock so it has to be a pretty peppy one. Is all stock of course. Last I knew though I think the guy wanted close to 40k for it, not totally sure though.

If you are interested I can dig up their phone number and you can call and talk to them. I think he has them priced so peoploe don't think he is insane but also so people around here can't find any reason to buy it for that amount so he isn't forced to part with it!

I think they only had 327, 350, and 427 [maybe a 396? ] ...I should mention; looking for a 4-speed.

One I was thinking of does have the 427 and is a manual.

Looks similar to this one -http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/corvette-photos/showphoto.php/photo/33097/size/big/cat/507
(have to be registered to see probably)

Only difference is the one I am talking about looked a little bit lighter in color, not rust or anything that I could see at all.

If you want I can stop by and get a pic or two and try to upload and ask about a price or can get you their phone number. I know it has been sitting for a while in their show room and don't know the last time it was started or anytime any sort of maintenance was done to it.

Default '69 L88 For Sale

I know of a '69 L88 car for sale - $75K. Here's the description....

Hi everyone.
The fellow who owns my old ’69 L-88 has it for sale. He’s received an offer of $75,000, but I told him I’d see if anyone in the club would be interested in it.
I had a lot of good times in it and sold it in 1972. Cheap.
It has 47,000 miles. Original paint and interior. Attached are two pictures.
You can contact Lee Beaumont, who lives in Grants Pass, OR, at 541-474-5675 or e-mail: kelrdh@msn.com
I’d like to see it get a good home.
Al Dager

Back then the only thing better was the ZL-1. 550 all aluminum, solid cammed, big block thumping factory HP singing at 6500 RPM's. It doesn't get much better than that.

I'm kinda partial to the '67's. But I guess I could get by with any L-88.

You mean like the one on this page?
http://corvettes-musclecars.com/cgi-bin/emAlbum.cgi
Kevin Suydam is local here in Seattle and his collection is serious

My favorite is the '69 Baldwin Motion Phase III that always seems to be near the exit ahd have bugs on the windshield. I'm sure his ritzy neighbors love the sound of that booming up the street.

NWDragRacer,
You said you owned this car in the past? Does it have the L-88 in it still or was it an L-88 car? I just emailed that person above. I assume it's the current owner?
I guess I'd consider a C3 if it's got a big block.. Thanks.
