Interesting and was a great example of Chevrolet marketting. 3,754 sold 
with the 435 hp engine. 20 sold with the 430 hp engine with twice the 
option price. Of course its the L-88 that brings the really big bucks but 
all it takes on e-Bay is two "persons" with more money than branes.

Obviously this car will never get driven more than the 22,000 on the odo 
and the type of owner expected is exemplified by this: "THE TOP OF THE TANK 
WAS CUT OFF AND SEALED IN PLEXI GLASS WITH THE TANK STICKER STILL IN PLACE 
". For display only.

Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful car but not really that rare (N-11 
off road exhaust was only on 36 cars but is that mentioned or even 
completely pictured ?)

Sorry but when I came back from SEA one of my first purchases (after a 
quart of fresh milk) was a 63 Split Window FI car for $1000. Had been a 
race car from day one and was my B/P ticket to enjoyment. Wound up with 
three or four Corvettes and quite a number of fuel injections (SCCA rules 
were quite strict and specific about carbs abot then sair "or fuel 
injection" - got one over 900 CFM) but all were a means to an end (cheapest 
way for a GMI student to go racing) and not a coffee table.

Still if you really want to get one of them types knickers in a twist, just 
walk up and casually say something like "I thought Delco-Packard plug wires 
were embossed and not silk screened that year" or "didn't the factory shift 
knob have a closed 4 on the gate ?" and then walk off.
