1967 COPO Corvettes 10?

**MosportGreen66** · #1 07-18-2003, 11:52 PM

I forgot to add something. At the NCRS show I met a man who owns a 1967 Corvette convertible with a C36 (I think thats the code) rag-top delete option. I do not know anything more then that but he is sending me some pictures and information on the car.

Dan,
Are you referring to a hardtop-only option or no hardtop AND no folding top?

Heard there were lots of good cars there. A 65 fuelie that a friend owns went top flight, this blue/black coupe came to Texas by way of Northern California (Charley).
Also heard that John Lejsal from Houston had his car on a transporter and another car leaked brake fluid all over the original paint job of his 72 big block. It apparently went from the front to back of the car. Ouch......

That car was a mess! It was the original paint on the car too. I was really surprised that the carrying company did not have some sort of basin to stop a leak of some sort. The Fulie car was nice!

Where does liability fall when this happens? My cars have been on the bottom of a transporter many times. Is it the responsibility of the owner of the leaking car or the responsibility of the carrier? I don't know, but if it were my car I would want a paint job.

It is not the falt of the dripping car's owner because how wold he know his car is going to leak? Obviously the falt can't be directed to the owner of the ruined car. I would blame the carrier. If they don't pay for paint then I smell a law suit. This sort of thing could be covered under the 1.5 million dollars of insurance those big carriers have. My view.

Better carriers cover the cars and have drip trays

Regarding the hard-top only subject, I believe that a buyer had a choice of either a hard-top or a soft-top included in the base price (see M.F. Dobbins book page 334) of a convertible. I'm not sure whether this would be an option delete. Option code C07 gave the buyer a hard-top as well as the soft. Noland's book indicates that there were 895 '67s produced with a hard-top only, C07 with an ECL of BA. Far more than I would have thought would have been made that way.

I said I did not know anything about the car. And the option code was C07 your right.
