As for the 67, the fact that it was red with a very rare red interior greatly added to the price of the car. The side exhaust was added which does hurt it but the F41, BO wheels, power windows. brakes, tele column add to the desirability of that car. </div></div>

I am looking for red black convert. I am putting mine up forsale (w/F40, original engine). I dont think anywhere near 1/2 have their original engines for 65. The first big blocks were notorious for dropping valves (in some cases destroying the block), it was addressed sometime in the 1/2 year production run. Any help is Greatly appreciated.

I seem to remember seeing a red/black convertible being advertised in the NCRS driveline several months ago. It said that it had its original motor and he was asking 140 for it. I can see if I can find the ad if you like.

please PM me if you find it. Its time for me to do some digging. I think the next difference like you say would be rare/desireable options. I don't know about 67s with F41, its rare on 65s actually (F40). GM did not constrain the order of a big block to have the harsher suspension (although it made sense), so it got ordered for small blocks too. I wish I had the bolt/on knockoffs, I know that is a big deal on 67s so I have heard. Most 'real' 65s I have found over the 12yrs I have been into them, usually do not have the side exhaust. I am not suprised the +300K 67 did not have it either (but was added). Fun trivia.
