Upon further thought I don't know if we are discussing the same car.The car at Vette-Fest had a 67 nose stripe.The car in the books has a 68 hockey stick stripe.If I remember correctly the car at Vette-Fest had the book displayed with his car and I noticed the difference in the stripes then. I blew it off as a bad attempt to document his car. Why would this 67(the one in the book) have 68 stripes?I doubt a 67 Nickey 427 would sit on the lot for 6 months.The 68 style stripe came out late in production,January 68,not very close to the end run of 67's (July).I think the story on the book car was that the first owner liked the style of the new 68 stripes and wanted them on his 67. I still think something doesen't sit well with either car... if there is two cars.........
