On November 11, 1968, This 1968 427 Nova was accepted & driven from the Dick Harrell Performance Center located in Kansas City, Mo. Later on, this was recognized to be Veterans Day, of which, Dick Harrell served our country during the Korean conflict.

That '68 Nova 427 from Dick Harrell is a holy grail from the muscle car era, wow.

Seems a little slow on this thread so I'll throw one on that's not seen every day. I parted with this car around 10 plus years ago. The restoration efforts were performed during my ownership. I believe this '70 Chevelle LS5 convertible to be one of the earliest produced with a Van Nuys build date of 12/17/69. It came with the original build sheet.....buckets and M22 equipped. I followed these particular convertible models equipped with the LS-5 for probably a dozen years through ads, etc. and found none that were fully documented with a production date earlier than this. They could be out there but I never found one with docs. I was told at one point that one of the very earliest LS-6 versions was produced one day earlier at Van Nuys as well. Don't know if that is true or not. Both the noted LS-6 one and mine were shipped to Denver but to different dealerships. I don't have the full history of our car but know it spent considerable time in CO & OK. The car still needed a very few small finishing items when I sold it. Very solid, rust free, and original for the most part. I would term it a high driver level after restoration.......too nice to drive eventually for my comfort level anyway.

Today is the birthday of my 1969 L71 Corvette.
Dec. 16, 1969
It’s a very late build, Tuxedo black car.
Apparently it was originally a Sidepipe car according to all the previous owners.
Not sure why the guy I got it from removed them.
The black and white pic is from the second owner.

Very nice 67 Vette, thanks for sharing this with us.

markinnaples 01-05-2025 03:25 PM

Tuna Joe, that '69 Vette is killer. I had a buddy in HS whose sister had a chrome bumper C3 and I loved that car; I've always loved the C3 in general, but the chrome bumpers are my favorite like most people. Can't wait to see that completed.
And to me, C3's have been criminally undervalued for so many years now.

And of course, that '67 is stunning as well.

I'm a couple of days behind in showing off a new acquisition. This is a January 10th built L72 coupe. Nassau Blue on blue / white interior, factory pipe car that retains is born with drivetrain, original paint, most all original interior, POP, dealer invoice, and dealer order sheet. A sharp eye will detect there are 2 options on the car that are not original to it (I'll get that straightened out). This will be a fun car to run through the shop.

The teak wheel is in your face easy, but a second option,,,,the floor mats?? :hmmm:

I want to see that air filter!!

I didn't realize they are gold lines in the pic, they appear as aged white lines.

67since67 01-12-2025 07:35 PM

I zoomed in and thought they were white stripes also Mitch, although gold would be cool!

Tim scores again!!:headbang:

olredalert 01-12-2025 07:49 PM

----Teak wheel is only an OK repro. The windshield washer fluid container is wrong. Goldlines aren't on the invoice but if good condition I'd leave them. PCV hose isn't the preformed one, and the clamp for it on the left side intake bolt is missing. That's all I can see. Just a real nice original 66. Good find!.....Bill S

1967 4K 01-12-2025 08:21 PM

So gold lines would be okay for the car if the were ordered?

And we all know how HE is with incorrect parts.. :smile: I'm thinking they would look good on my Camaro, if I ever get it painted back to Granada Gold....Tim...:wink:

Fantastic ‘66 BB Coupe, Nassau Blue has always been at the top of my list for the mid years.
Love the ‘66 hoods.

Gold line tires are also at the top of my list. Keep em.

That fake teak looks bad, gotta go.

Looking forward to Tim’s rejuvenation.

dykstra 01-13-2025 10:42 AM

Sweet! Congratulations on another killer mid year Tim!!

I agree with you both on the wheel. The car originally had a plastic wheel, and that is how the car is coming to me. I bought the car from a friend (I've know of this car for about 3 years now). The teak wheel was not part of our deal (which I prefer in this case).

Hey napa68, my 69 Camaro was delivered from the Norwood plant to Marsh Hallman in June of 1969. Check your PM for info on something that my interest you.

Hey Bill, Hows that Chevelle from Vandergrift PA coming along? I always think of it when I drive the road where the original owner tod me she got a speeding ticket driving it back in 1967.

1965 and 66. The last 66 L72 I had was an original knock off / gold line car as documented by the window sticker. That was a neat car. Original 3.08 gear car as well. You could say it had some legs on it

Did a miss a separate thread on this 66 Vette? If not, sure would like to see more of this car, it looks beautiful.
