What is the value of a 1967 L79 Chevy II...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: cook_dw</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I posted this same thread on another site and this is one of the replies I received. Is this correct?

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">There were no production L-79's made in 1967 they were all built as COPO's to replace cars that had already given their lives in the line of duty so that those racers in NHRA's SS class could continue to campaign their Chevy II's.

Even Da Grump (who wrecked his '66 L-79 match racing and bought two '67 L-79 cars to replace it with one being held in reserve as a spare) where well aware of the up coming 1968 Nova SS 396 car and had prototypes to look at in 1967).

Chevrolet intentionally banned all L-79 orders to promote their new for 1967 SS 350 Camaros or the equally new 302 Z/28 as race cars they wanted on the track for people to see on Sunday (so that come Monday the public would clammer to buy one on Monday).

Any 1967 L-79 car you find will have been originally in the possession of a successful or at least famous SS class drag racer who had probably campaigned it that race season (which can add to the value of the car).

Chevy sold some of these cars as a body in white with the power train on a pallet shipped with the body. Any &quot;barn Find&quot; of a complete, virgin stock car is going to be immediately suspect. This is one rare car that has been well documented as to it's origins and it's scarci</span>ty.</span> </div></div>

Current owner gave me the ok to post the pics of the pop and trim tag. Vins have been removed from paperwork.

Not a great pic of the trim tag but you get the idea.

My grandparents lived 2 blocks from the original owner - too bad nobody's left around to ask if they remember it.

06B TT build date and orginal sale date of 6/26/67 would seem to be in line with Dave's info on build dates. Very nice documentation.

Who was it that posted on another site than none were built ?

Looking to hear more about this one. As for the price after restoration, that is dependent on who does the resto. and how it turns out. With a car like this, in my opinion, it would well be worth getting one of the high-end reputable shops do the work. Say, a Level One type (and there are others) that has established itself within our community and with the top buyers. Also, the price is dependent on where the car is offered for sale. Some cars change hands privately and the prices never are divulged, then others are sold at the TV auctions during prime time, and emotions (and yes, sometimes alcohol) may govern the amount of the sale price. Given all the variables, predicting the future would at best, be a guess until more is known. You can bet, though, if all the stars are aligned, it will be a WHOLE LOT!!!

My 2 cents: Jack Druer?(sp) owned one, and restored another one if I remember correctly. I believe he knows more about what's correct than just about anyone. I believe that's his car pictured in this thread. He's a very nice man. I don't have his contact info, but would be worth it to track him down. JMHO

I do not believe this response at all, I agree with the responses from Wilma and novadude on this issue. The last two paragraphs make no sense and I would welcome any and all documentation regarding those last two statements.
