Re: Simply incredible '67 427/435 Corvette..speech
I find it rather hard to believe that the car would have been delivered w/o fluids. From a legal point of view there is no way GM would have sold the cars w/o things like...brake fluid, rear diff oil, trans oil, engine oil: anything that could have led to this car rolling off the delivery truck and not stopping until it crashed into a bus full of nuns, orphans and lawyers.
 Unless they sold it "as is" with no MSO/title and only a bill of sale. Even back in the 60's there were still lawyers out there lurking in the darkness

Re: Simply incredible '67 427/435 Corvette..speech
That car or one very much like it was for sale in Tulsa area back in 1976 for $8,900 and I like a fool passed on it. Thought it was too expensive at that time. Never would have thought they would bring that kind of money today.
sure kicking myself now... Sigh.... Pantera

Re: Simply incredible '67 427/435 Corvette..speech
Pantera, that was the same car. Bruce Knierim bought it out of Oklahoma shortly after that and held onto it until the early 80's. I believe that it has sold, auction ended early.
Bruce and I had lunch today and discussed the car, he said it was very nice with a poor replacement carpet at that time and some slight yellowing of the interior. The person he sold it to would have done everything it needed correctly. Paint and chassis was very nice, this was a car that needed no massaging at all. I don't know if it has received a Benchmark or Bow Tie award, it was in the Special Collection in 1985.
