Hi all. I was at a friends over the weekend and he showed me his original order sheet for a 1967 silver and teal (interior) corvette he purchased.

This might be a longshot but perhaps the car still exists and the owner is here on the forum.

As you can see the car was purchased at a dealer in Connecticut.

 

If you can find the the whole 'VIN' number you can check the C2 registry to see if someone has it...

There was NO VIN number on the paper and the friend (original owner) had no other info to know what the VIN number is.

What got my attention is on the sheet all the identifiers are there (minus the VIN). The otpions, the engine option. Crap the car has power steering and windows but not brakes.......

 

I seen that partial vin on the paperwork as thats all the dealer could have known at the time...just thought the person that showed this really cool part of 'history' might have not divulged it all to you....

What it did notice was the trade in value of a the 'Corvair'...

 

Obviously, at the time you place an order for a car in 1967, the dealer would have no way of knowing the VIN number. That would be assigned at the factory a month or so later when the car is built, since it says delivery will be in 6 to 8 weeks. Nice paperwork, probably not too many cars ordered with that option list, but finding it without the VIN will be difficult.

 

Absolutely it would be a longshot.

But with that said the car is silver, interior is teal, engine is 327/350hp. Hardtop.

Purchased in Connecticut.

 

Even though the VIN isnt apparent, I think this would be a great item to put up in the ORPHAN document and stamped parts thread at the top of the main page, in the Sticky section:

Its where we try to match up stuff with the original cars.
