Yet another..... 1967 L79 Corvette, 2 tops, 19k miles
 

You could say I'm on a streak. I took in this 67 L79 from my Dad, as he decided he could not live without the 62 340hp car I found a couple of months ago. I sourced this car from Kenny Pascoe about 5 years ago. This is a 19k mile (documented) car with what looks to be most all original paint, born with drivetrain, and most all original dated secondary components. The car is an M21 4 speed, 4.11 positraction car. Complete owner history, CCAS (Al Grenning) affirmed engine and POP, title copies, misc reciepts, NCRS Shippers Report. I've got to get cooking on this one, as I sourced yet another 67 L79 coupe (that would be the 4th I have currently):eek2:

I'll post the progress pics as I prepare this one for market. This won't need much at all. One of the few items I was in need of, was a properly dated 326 water pump, which Joe Smith had the perfect unit. That should be here today. The only other original piece that is AWOL is the fuel pump, and I just so happen to know where the right one is.

Just a couple of pics for now.......

I think a forum user name change is needed...:laugh:
Mr. Midyear

Its a beauty. Love original cars.

Way cool! I was wondering when you were going to announce this one.

Pictured here is the POP and original dealer invoice and glove compartment documents, all being original to the car

The car still has it's original front exhaust pipes and left muffler assembly. The right side, was replaced with an NOS unit at some point.

A good original car would not be complete without an oil change sticker

You are on the road to a 1967 L79 in every color, wouldn't that be a cool collection?

Something so simple as a virgin spare tire. I find the backside very interesting given the production date of the car. You can see where the wheel was hung for the argent application

You are definitely on a roll.

Wow, Tim, the paperwork is incredible and I bet you know the ownership history all the way back to the original owner!? Looks like a real beauty.

Tim--Chicago area car for some time? Highland Park is a high-rent district. Corvette City is still there.

It looks as though from about 1977 til approx 2017

The selling dealer is still in business close to where i live, Also Wellesley is 2 towns away from me.

----Hard to explain, but Wellesley is one of my home towns. Family problems helped. Wellesley was a great suburb to grow up in. I have good memories....Bill S

Wonder why he did not buy it at Lee Chevrolet in Wellesley

I do pretty much have the ownership history put together Bary. Thanks for the kind words!:headbang:

----Yes,,, I bought my 66 427/425 from Lee. Can't remember the performance sales guy's name now but he sold a lot of HP stuff. Maybe you remember his name, Ralph? As I'm sitting here Ralph, I know we know each other, but I'm not sure how as I'm just about to hit 78 years old, and luckily don't need a stroller so bear with me. I just hope I didn't antagonize you way back then. Sorry for the hi-jack,,,,LOL!...Bill S

Some random goodness after cleaning the chassis the last couple of days

Influencer
 

An influencer? For the most part silly and ridiculous.

I always look forward to viewing all your Corvette threads that feature the best in the business.
Plus the high quality workmanship you deliver with these cars passing through BMC.
But I sometimes lose track of the fast pace inventory so I fail to comment.
I am a follower though.

Tim Schuetz is what I call a legit influencer.

Lol......thank you Chris. I'm just doing what I think is right. To say nothing for the enjoyment and gratification I get from the process.

Exactly …. that’s why we do what we do on this site.

NEXT :beers:

Beautiful car Tim, I don’t know how they find you, but I’m glad they do! Can’t wait to see it finished!

Pat

Pat,

Great to see you on here.

Nick

Thanks Nick! I told Tim one of these days I’m going to get one of his cars, the problem is now I want them all!

As a recipient of one of Tim's cars, I endorse your plan.

I was playing around this morning with the light I had. Here are a few pics....

Your choice of light looks great!

Never ever bright sun. Slight overcast are best for photos of an automobile.
Color looks real. Beautiful ‘67 Corvette.

Need a few Pics with the Hard top

Agreed. I'm waiting for my helper (Tracey) to get that installed:grin:

That car really is spectacular.

Tim,

Since you are on a roll with the ‘67 Corvettes I have a question.

It seems the vast majority of ‘67 have the Rally wheels.
Were the one year aluminum bolt ons not ordered as much for a certain reason (price ?) as I think they are a very good looking exotic wheel especially on a coupe.

Thanks, Chris

Wait for the next chapter 😉

Here ya go Jeff!

I have to keep my eye on the ball with both the yellow coupe, and the maroon roadster right now. I'll get a thread going when I get on this white car

Tim G's white/blue car? (Bill Jacobs delivered?)

I did get it from Tim G. We've been talking about this car for over a year. The right circumstances popped up for both of us to do some business again:wink:
This car was delivered to John Greer Chevrolet in Sacramento, CA

Sweet! Congrats!!:beers:

Oh Boy ….. this book is a fast read.

That maroon roadster looks awesome with the hardtop installed.

The Tim G. Ermine White on blue ‘67 coupe looks so damn good with the bolt ons. Are they real ?

Love those Black & Yellow plates!
