1967 Big Tank L-88 Corvette

[Big Block Bill]

Ronald,

Is the yellow car in your picture, the L-88 you speak of with a "Big Tank"? If so, I believe you could only order a big tank in a Coupe body style and not a Convertible as the yellow car in the picture appears to be.

This is one of those threads that will end up being very entertaining. I honestly look forward to watching its progression.

------Bill is of course correct. An adventerous guy could make a 36gal. tank fit a roadster, but there never was one built by Chevrolet. I have seen two 67s over the years that had been retrofitted with "big-tanks". Both were dedicated race cars, and in no way were delivered with the large tank!!! As far as your roadster is concerned we would need to know about documentation, etc. to know how to value it. Paperwork is absolutely everything on any L/88, weather its a 67,8,or 9 .......Bill S

------I should have said that I had seen 2 "63 to 67" Corvette "roadsters" converted to big tank cars over the years. Sorry for the unintentional miscue! ........Bill S

no replies???

I can understand owning a 67 L88 tanker and keeping it to yourself. If, on the other hand, you decide to tell the world you own an original low mile 67 L88 tanker it would seem prudent to be ready to prove the claim undeniably.
This 67 L88 factory tanker that is claimed here is bull [censored]. I will be forthright and magnanimous in my apology when proven wrong. Until then...it's Horse [censored].

Well said 737Driver and my thoughts exactly. Black Book shows two NO3 tankers and 20 L88's in 67. I doubt many of that combination have flown under the NCRS radar for all these years.

looks like the jury is deliberating so ambrola lets here your facts. We need real doc's and more input here.
