1967 L71 Red/Red coupe
 

Doing a search on how many REAL 1967 Corvette L71 Red/Red coupes still left out there , must have Validate Documents to support .

Not mine and no affiliation but here is one that was posted here a couple of weeks ago as part of another thread......I'm sure Lance has some data on these as well.

This is another well known Bloomington Benchmark red/red 435 coupe. I've known this car since 1983 when I saw it at the Chevy Vettefest at McCormack place in Chicago. A great car.

I would guess maybe 100 to 200 were built originally. We will never know since Chevrolet did not cross reference options or colors.

I had a Red/Red 67 coupe 400hp, air,p/s, p/b p/w, speed warning, smog, and J-56 brakes. Per NCRS delivered in Ca. Sold car in the Seattle area

vin?

22410. It recently sold. Has a partial tank sticker and POP.

Thanks. I know the car. The old time researchers that have been collecting data for decades only recognize one red/red 435 coupe of the description of the car in the www.holygrailcorvettes.com collection.
There have been lots of rumors and claims over the years on cars never documented or that never materialized. Back in January 2010 a coupe appeared on eBay that was red/red leather no-radio, J56, bolt-ons, redlines, PS, PB, PW, full tint, 75326 miles, in Virginia, 00711. The gentleman selling the car was honest and forthright in his ad and on the phone, freely stating there was no paperwork, he had owned it since 1982, was certain the block had been decked and restamped before his ownership and thus he was selling it as having a replacement block. It sold for a reported $87,650. Another mouth-watering car but no way of knowing what it really is.

Not sure they 100-200 Red/Red L71 coupes Tim

Neither am I, just a guess.

Yes that a real L71 Red/Red Coupe Tim

Anyone know any info. about this 67 Red/Red L71 Vin.# 12373

I believe there only two for sure maybe three with REAL Validate documentation 67 Red/Red L71 Coupe on the planet .

You posted the paperwork for 12421. 12373 is also a red/red 435 coupe that has validated paperwork. It is a N11 car.

Yes I see the Vin. 12373 on the Registry but don’t know much about the Car Tim and what condition it’s in .

Unfortunately I don't know 12373 at all. I wish I did. I know 22410 fairly well since I came close to purchasing it about 10 years ago.

Tim , is 22410 do you know if its going through a full restoration

I don't believe it needs a restoration. It's a Bloomington Benchmark car, so that would be a shame.

yes, i figure it going to stay a Benchmark

But Midyr car its not a validated Red/Red 435 coupe car ?

I saw this car in St. Louis this weekend. It is gorgeous!!!!!

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

red/red 67 L71 coupes
 

Dannyboy, sorry for the lengthy delay, don't check in very often. Former owner Gary Seymour knew midyears well, but I personally don't know enough about the car. Keep in mind the www.holygrailcorvettes.com car is "The only red on red 435 coupe with factory side exhaust known to exist", besides having one of the most complete tank sheets we have ever seen, full history back to 2nd owner, been with some of the most serious and respected collectors, etc. Tim is right, the General had to have built a bunch of red/red L71 coupes, but we also know how high the attrition rate was on these puppies, and there just plain ain't many left.

Is it me or does this thread have a strange feel to it?

----I disagree!....Bill S

Dannyboy,

So this car has validated paperwork, yet you are calling it a "fake"?? Please explain your rational, it appears you're holding back something throughout the entire thread.

I've got it from good authority that 1967 #12373 has a validated tank sticker showing it as a red/red 435 horse coupe. I don't usually chime in on topics like this for obvious reasons, but I don't want a letitimate car to be tarnished in any way.

----Something is out of whack!!!.....Bill S

I removed a couple of Dannyboy posts which contained his opinion which incorrectly called out a car as a fake. This member has only 9 posts and I'm not sure why he started this thread, perhaps to hype his car or try to invalidate others.

When you have the best musclecar site on the internet, you no doubt will get know-it-alls and keyboard commandos trying to puff themselves up by offering their "opinions". I encourage any and all to wade into the musclecar pool, the water's nice - just don't s#*t in it.

Not holding anything back COPO all i,am saying it would be nice to see some validated paper work , is it a real side pipe car or not lets see some paperwork , i believe what Tim is saying its a N11 and not a side pipe car ,Tim first brought up this Vin# at the start all it all , i know it was Gary Seymour and it still on the 67 registry as a owner, I,am just trying to track down validated 67 L71 Red/Red Coupe with validated paper work .

----You don't need paperwork to validate weather the car came with sidepipes!.....Bill S

Bill S, , there are special cut notches on the bird cage done by hydraulially pierced with a die its would be hard to do and copy and bracket not been threaded all that could be done and copy if done properly, but its best that to have a validated Tank Sticker or factory paperwork to back up if it's a factory side pipe car or not, hope it not AO Smith body.

Steve what wrong of me trying to track down 1967 cars that are real Red/Red cars maybe there are some fake one out there that don't have real paperwork to backup, do you know any better do you know if there real or not i,am trying to a research on these car certain cars , some i know there real some think they have the real deal but they can't support validated paper work to show,

Nothing at all, Danny. It's probably best to not say negative things about other cars in the process. That's why I posted what I did about my familiarity with the tank sticker on the car. I'll make this my last comment.

I understand , thanks Tim

----Trust me, Danny, I as well as others not only on this sight but people I have known in the 50 plus years I have been in the Corvette world, will tell you within 5 minutes if a C2 Corvette came with sidepipes or not.....Bill S

Absolutely Bill I don’t doubt you at all , I can also tell you also , the problem is when the owner tell you it’s factory side pipe and it not , so how do you deal with someone like that , thats why paper work help to explain sometime ,

I don't quite understand the mindset where you think the owners of red/red 435 coupes needs to prove to you their car is fully documented in a certain configuration to your satisfaction. If you are purchasing their car, then yes absolutely you need to be satisfied.
