Default Re: 67 Caprice 427 - Any thoughts?

If you get a chance to see the car again could you snap a picture of the vin, cowl tag, and POP? Like Don said this is a very rare car and I would like to add the numbers to my database. I don't think the seller is far off with a price of $25,000 if the car is as original as she says, but the bench and auto is definitely going to hold it back a little.

If I go back it will mean that I caved in and went back to pick it up. All I have now is a photo of the vin but if I do get the chance I'll get the others for you.

The Caprice is a Two-Door.
The TBird was semi-restored. Top has been painted, seats have been recovered, AC and radiator have been added, engine is correct replacement. I have more photos of it.

CL piece especially in the plum CLR..
Before doing the deal it may be worth noting the build plant as there's always a chance it's a Canadian built car and documents available from GM Canada Vintage Services if so..

You mean this old thing with the 409?










Ha! It's a 409 now...not so sure it's always been one. We still have to figure that out.

Either way it was a cool ride so we drug it home.

Same w/ the '62 as mentioned previously regarding the '67, always take note as quickly as possible of the build plant of these big Chevys..
It's not often it comes up but depending on each different plant's ability to supply models w/ specific options quickly, satisfying demand sometimes necessitated Canadian production units being shipped to US dealers..
Regardless of the location of the production plant or ordering dealer, besides Canadian produced cars delivered in Canada being documentable today, <u>cars originally shipped either in or out of Canada</u> usually had their Vins and options recorded resulting in documents for those Vins available from GM Canada Vintage Services today too..

Cool cars Jacquie!. (both the Chevys...not the T-Bird)

I would take that 67 all day at that price. You got a nice car for the price and a 427 car to boot. Post some more pics of that!!
Im glad you bought it otherwise I was hooking up the trailer and getting ready for a road trip.
