Hey Mike----What's your take on the 66 at Mecum Kissimmee ? Where is your white car ? Danny

 

I know everything there is to know about that car but I ain't talkin. My white car was taken apart and the roller was sold less engine & trans. Don't ask me why either?

 

This one?

It does not show a sale price.

 

No that's 2012 ---2016 Lot #F243

This was an Alabama car sold out of Gores Corvette world last spring - I think it was for around 20k, and it quickly changed hands a few times and ended up here. Thought it was a pretty good deal at 20....

"Documented with Protect-O-Plate"

If the P-o-P is real, wouldn't it show an engine unit number suffixed with a "T"?

 

Yes

 

Good catch with the protecto-plate! There is zero further reference to documentation.

"Believed to be one of only 157 L69 F85 Club Coupes 442s produced in 1966"

The blue car is a cloned up unit. It was originally from a town about 10 miles from me. It was a three on the tree V-8 and was turned into a 442 by a friend of mine. I built the carbs on it right before he sold it. He never misrepresented the car either but as with most of these cars,the story gets changed to optimize profits.

 

The Black/Blue Track Pac has been pulled from Friday's auction.

The world is smaller than you think, people know each other. Hell, even my car was known about on here before I bought it, by the man in Brazil, no less.

 

Would the '66 blue one even have notched valve covers? On the correct side thou.

 

66 did not use notched valve covers because they used a smaller brake booster unlike the larger 67 booster. 67 did not use a notched cover on the passenger side because there no conflict with the A/C housing.

 

Thats one beautiful clone though!

 

Clone looks like a no-sale at $33,000.

 

I saw that,I could have bought the car for $20K @ one time.
