68 full size: red 427 embem

[Pantera]

I let one of my best friends have a '67 427 425 hp silver vette cpe years ago under the same promice. He had the balls to call me up one day a few years later and announce that he had traded it for a new Hog. He said well I didn't think you were still interested in that old car since you had so many others.

He is dead now. Wish I had had a part of that but he had a heart attack.

Joe, I sold the car to a friend locally about 5 years ago, I owned it for 10 years... it's the black one on page 2 with the hideaways on Rick's site. My friend added the hideaways, I like the look. He has the original build sheets I gave him. My friend, I think, removed the red plates for safety reasons. Car was originally sold new at Bill Heard Chev. in Columbus, GA, original owner was John Peacock from Midland, Ga. who worked at the dealership, the car was his wife's driver. I can't, for the life of me, remember the build plant. I've owned over 125 vehicles, and I regret selling that one the most... in fact, I have a contract with him that says he can never sell it again without me getting *first right of refusal*, that was part of my sale deal to him.

I live in the town with Bill Heard Chevy. If I run across any old dealership badges I'll let you know if you are interested. John Peacock lives 1 mile from me and has run his own body shop for years. He is one of the local Corvette gurus. Small world.

These are the only three I have ever seen before. If anyone has different ones then these, I would love to see pictures of them.

Ask and you shall receive... Here's a 4th version, as found on 396/425blr's car. This is the variation I was referring to in my earlier post. Very cool.

Wow! and I thought I had seen and knew most every trait to these cars! Joe, can you or I send a copy of this to Mark. He and I have never discussed this emblem and am sure he would love to see it. Can I have it????

Rick, 396/425blr sent me the pic, it is of his car. He would be the one to ask. Provided they are the original emblems, they would be the fourth version of 427 bezels for 1968. I knew I had seen a photo of them on a car somewhere before, so this is not the first i have seen or heard of them, but I've never actually viewed one up close. Pretty neat piece huh?

Rick, Just got word via e mail from Dennis that its cool to send mark the pic and see if he knows anything about it... he's eager to learn more about them too.
