Also did under the red 63. Written in Crayon on the firewall is 462 P/G. I don't know what 462 means but I assume P/G stands for PowerGlide.

Well Charlie,
I am very late in seeing this find as i don't view the Yenko site often.( That is another story) Quite a find of Corvettes. Sure is nice to see there still are cars in the old barns. I would pull the very rare 63 fuel unit from the intake before you try and run the motor. The nozzels will clog instantly with all the rust and junk you have in the tank. Neat parts you got also. If you need any help with any car.....part......history ....people in know, etc., give me a call. I have been playing with these old plastic cars since 1969. Check my web site at www.vettefinderjim.com or call me at 909-794-7905. Do you want to sell any of the cars?? Regards, Jim |

Spent a few hours this morning steam cleaning the silver 67. Here are some pics. Some are just paint mark details that I figure might help someone with a resto on a similar Vette in the future. I don't know of any Vette sites to post them so I will do it here. Here is a before pic.

And the ultra rare Mark Ten CD ignition. I think that makes this a Phase 3 car for sure. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.
Charley,
The "army" green paint used on Corvettes was bought from the United States Army after the war ended. Chevy bought hundred of thousands of gallons. I am sure VettefinderJim and other corvette guys will chime in. -Dan |
Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.
Charlie,
-------That engine stamp is kinda interesting. Anyone notice the two different Hs? One wide and one a bit narrower. Obviously not making any statements about authenticity. It is just cool to see the use of the two slightly different Hs. Some over-anal NCRS judge would have a hissey, but the guys who know would go "WOW, thats a bit different". You can just never say you have seen it all with GM. They even keep throwing curves at you 37 years later! -------Thanks again for the picture show, Charlie. That is one original ol Vette you got there. Have also never seen that front cross-member green stripe before. Got to think about that for awhile.............Bill S |

This is the bare body in the area where the gas tank sits at the rear of the car.

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.
Charlie,
-------If that tank is just too ruff there is an excellent repro out there from a place named "Quanta". Im sure they have a website but dont know what the address is. Very nice, good people to deal with.........Bill S |
Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.
I was just joking about using the tank over. It was seeping goo through all the rust holes. I have a new Quanta tank sitting here ready to go.

Ahhh Nuts..Fired the 63 with the Fuel Injection today. Ran briefly and managed to blow a bunch of Almond shells out of the tailpipe that I had removed the muffler from.

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.

[/ QUOTE ] Charley this thread is classic. You should've documented everything on video. Or better yet, called the Discovery Channel. As popular some of these car shows are, resurrecting a bunch of Corvettes found in a barn would be a sure hit. (I know I'd watch.) I can see it now... "Drat! More nuts! Stupid squirrels." https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif |

The brown substance that used to be gas is now more like a cross between Molasses and silly putty.
