I would do the same if I were you. I would build a period correct motor for it and get it running and driving. Then I'd get it out there for others to appreciate! You wouldn't be lying to say that it is the first known '67 L78 sold to the public on a nice sign board.

I appreciate that you are working hard to uncover its history. That was always the most fun part of the old car hobby to me.

I don't agree - that is incorrect. The first car sold to the public was Grumpy's.

... That fine.
... Would my car be the First ordered and sold thru a Dealership ... or would Grumpy's car be that too ?

... Just would like to know,
I'm not trying to cause any big debate it's just hard to tell when the updated list is not available to the general public.

... It's not a big deal either way.
The Original Paint is what I like about my car.
... Thanks in advance for your input and knowledge.

That's a fair comment. I think many just consider Grumpy "special", but your comment is accurate - he was just a regular guy
