don't confuse trim over ride with COPO

Got interested in getting out of GS Buicks after 50 years when I saw a '67 roadster 972 (white) with Bright Blue interior, stinger hood with blue stripe, 427/400 4-speed with
C-60, power windows/brakes/steering. It was as nice of a car as I have ever seen. It was at a show in Boca about 10 years ago, but I never found the owner, who's name was on the show info card. Forgot to write it down, but probably couldn't afford it anyway even if it was for sale.

Couldn't find white with A/C when I was looking, so got a '66 Nassau Blue with white/blue. It is good enough for me, and I am very happy with the car!

Cheers!

It's not a coupe but it is a '65, it's got a Mark IV mill (a 427) and believe it or not, it's Cadillac Cascade Green !

Well... because you asked... a triple white 1965 GTO convert, 4 spd, tri-power of course. I assume you mean limit it to Corvettes I think many of us would do a 63 split variation, and if I actually had the opportunity, I probably would do the same. But just waxing here... taking the 63 out of the round up, I like my 67 convert. But would like a coupe also. So I would probably go with 67 coupe, Elkhart Blue, White interior. 350 hp. If the wait on that order was too long (like 56 years ) then the same but white on white.

Okay, I’ll play, sounds like fun. I’d order a 65 coupe, silver with black leather, 396 w/ transistor ignition, 3.36 posi with M22 tranny, F40 suspension, side pipes, radio, knock-offs, and a teak wood steering wheel. Comes to $4,321.

Your pricing might be a bit low......

Here is the window sticker for our car, and though it is a '66..... it has some of the same options......

You’re right, that was base price w/o options. Got that from Corvette DNA app. Just did a new tabulation with all the options I mentioned. Comes to $5559.55 total. Don’t know if that app is correct or not but should be pretty close.

Funny that you would ask that! I asked myself that very question many years ago and for giggles ... found an original Corvette order form on the internet ... printed it out and just started checking all the boxes as if I was at the dealer - I choose a 1966 Mosport / Green interior with 16 options. But I did not stop there .. I then started a search to see if that car existed ... and in 2 weeks miraculously found this 1966 Mosport Green with green interior Corvette in California .. a St Louis car ordered direct by Chevrolet Motor Division in Detroit as a Brass Hat special order with the 16 factory installed options!

Probably do pretty much what I already have. Of course, the L88 option would have to be checked!
