Not a lot of them were made. For the last year - 1967 - only 1,768. Big Muscle had given way to the mid-sized cars.

The blue '67 went to a new owner in Indiana, Bill. Finally, someone sent in the paperwork for validation on this car. In this case, it was the fellow that purchased the car, and he did it the right way, before the car ended up in his possession.

----This car popped up in southern Illinois years and years ago belonging to a Corvette rebuilder/restorer by the name of Lafferty. I can't remember who bought it from him unrestored. The Dykstra's will remember him. Not a particularly good guy. He procured the NOS blue leather seat covers that are in the car today (it was an original leather car with bad interior). He took advantage of some of our friends over a long period.....Bill S

Was it in that bad of shape when found? I can't imagine someone letting such a RARE Corvette get in poor shape with these options. So I assume Chris P. bought it after it was restored, or did he restore it? If I remember correctly, Mecum put a Value of $650,000.00 - $700,000.00 on it when it was listed in the auction catalog it was last sold at. I do not remember what it last sold for. Bill

----Bill,,,I believe (not sure of this after all this time) that the interior had been dyied black for one thing. It definetly needed a resto. Remember that this was back in the mid 70's. Values were low even for great cars. I bought my white 400AC coupe in the same time frame with 14 thousand original miles and more options for $8,000, and people thought I was crazy! Chris bought it from 2 brothers out of New Yawk restored and sold it eventually to a Florida car dealer owner who liked black. I found that guy a really low mileage 66 black-black 350 hp Nova that he bought and then stiffed me on the finders fee.....Bill S

What better birthday to celebrate right before America’s than the Corvette’s? 70 years ago yesterday, the first example of America’s sports car rolled out of the factory in Flint, Michigan.

Most sharks have good vision, although there are some that don’t. The majority of them have very keen eyesight and can detect movement from long distances away. They also have the ability to see in low-light conditions and some species can even see ultraviolet light.

One thing that all sharks have in common is that they can rotate their eyeballs independently, which gives them a 360-degree view of their surroundings.

Do Sharks Have Good Vision? Yes, sharks have good vision. They can see in both murky water and in the open ocean.

Their eyes are specially adapted to help them see their prey.

One thing many sharks are missing are cones in their eyes. That means they can't see colors at all. With their evolution dating back over 400 million years, the ability to see colors wasn't important so it never developed.

The cookie cutter shark is one of the most interesting sharks in the ocean, and it never grows bigger than 18-20 inches (~50 cm). It gets its common name from its feeding strategy of biting off small chunks of much larger animals.

Sharks are fish. But they have one characteristic that no other fish have: eyelids.

Unlike fish, sharks can only swim forward. That is because their fins are stiff and cannot be controlled by muscles.

Sharks have an amazing sense of hearing. They can hear prey up to 3000 feet away. Their ears are actually located inside of their heads.

Sharks have the thickest skin of any animal species. Some sharks have skin that is 6 inches thick.

Sharks have been on earth for over 450 million years. Of course none have any resemblance to those ancient sharks. Evolution keeps them changing - improving. Except this one - the Goblin Shark. For some unknown reason, this species stopped evolving 120 million years ago. What you see here is what you would see if you could go back in time.

Blue Sharks are the most endangered species on the planet. Blue Sharks are highly coveted for their fins used in shark fin soup. They are the only sharks that are actually blue.

Thresher Sharks use their tails to slap their prey to death.
