"The L72 is not listed as an option on any ordering info in 1967."

How do you know that? Have you actually seen-- ALL-- the 1967 ordering info for the entire 1967 model year?

The reason I ask is because I have 6 (six) Chevy printed 1971 Chevy dealer ordering info books and I may not have all of them. For example if I look at my August 1970 dated book for the new for '71 Chevy or even the April '71 dated book I can not make an accurate and honest judgement call of what was and what wasn't for the entire '71 model year.

Yes Richard, with all due respect, I believe that I actually do. I own an original copy of the 1967 Dealer ordering binder from the Philadelphia Zone office which includes all the inner departmental memos (it's about 4 inched thick) which has all the updates in it, plus there is nothing at the dealer level (RPO or LPO for that matter) in print showing the availability of option code L72 in a 1967 passenger model of any type as there is in 1966, 1968, and 1969. Is there the possibility that something exists? Sure there is, but it should have surfaced in the last 45 years more than likely. Like I said, this has been discussed at great lengths over at another site which I am very active on. We have 3 of the very best 1967 historians at that site, and it is understood that there were no L72 big cars built for the 1967 model year. I believe Mr. Colvin's book even states that there are no records of the 17 coded engines that were supposedly made every making it into a car. Again, if someone EVER comes up with a REAL car with REAL documentation, I'm certain that this would be re-investigated. The point of this original post is that the car in Ill. is supposed to be the "real deal" and there are so many holes in that car's make-up, it's absurd. The car is not even a real Z24 car which it supposedly is. The car is a complete, made-up FRAUD, period. I can't be any nicer or plainer than that, sorry.
