Happy birthday to my ‘67. My wife got the card for the car. It plays a recording of a car revving up and doing a 1st gear and 2nd gear burnout. The card was especially meaningful to me since my wife just had rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday.
As I like to point out every year on this day, July 12, 1967 is an historical date for all C2 enthusiasts. It marks the end of an era. No more Sting Rays after today. Bring on the C3’s.

Happy Birthday to your beautiful Ermine white convertible. OT, is that a Mitsubishi A/C unit? How do you like it? BTU??

The heat pump pump is made by Daikin. It’s a 4-function unit (heat, cool, fan only, and humidity control). I don’t remember the BTU rating but it does a good job cooling my 4-car garage. The tech guy is coming tomorrow to do the annual service on the unit so I’ll ask him the BTUs.

Steve, when I see your car I see exactly what my '67 looked like from the factory. Celebrate! Dennis

So, if July 12, 1967 marks both your car's birthday and the last day of C2 production, how close to the end of the C2 production run is your car? (Great looking ride, BTW)

So, it seems that there were 41 before mine and 79 after on that day.
Car number 22940 is a silver big block coupe that changed hands a while back for a sizeable amount of cash. Neither my car nor any of the others built that day are worth a nickel more than if they were built on any other day.
