Guess they sold the windshield washers in another auction. Or they forgot to put them back on when restoring it. Nice looking car though.

Just took a look at the ebay auction. The pic posted here doesn't seem to have windshield wipers, but the other pics do. Are my eye deceiving me?

I like to know why the car has speed warning, telescopic column, and shoulder belts. thoes three options seem not right for a factory race car

Ahhhhh, the "Lost '67 L-88 Tanker" returns again. It showed up at the Pittsburgh NCRS Chapter Meet June 5th this past summer and..................................... ........................................ ........................................ ........................................ ...............................and that's what happened. Film @ 11. :yesnod:

well what happened :willy: :toetap:

I like the " call for vin" on e-bay. They already gave it away with the engine #. If I where them I would take my mil at B.J and have a party!!! ;)

...I "kinda" don't remember-I only judge C3s. ;)

Probably, unless you really do have only ONE eye. :yesnod:

...just because there is a pic of the engine pad with a number, what makes you so sure that is the car's ACTUAL VIN number???

Pretty Sure I Know
 

It could well be the real thing as there were very few. I know of only one and it was in the Pittsburg area with out a 1967 "IT" L88 engine . However I did correctly supply the owner with the right engine to complete the restoration. :cool:

What was he asking for the car?

Where are the bumpers??

...hmmmmmmmm, the mysterious shroud that isn't supposed to be there suddenly gets lost between Pittsburgh & California....hmmmmmm

..also in "this current" eBarf ad, the seller states over & over "the '67 L-88", "THE '67 L-88..." Note how he carefully AVOIDS the use of "THIS" '67 L-88(AKA the one he is selling)... ;)

maybe the builder of this "L88" should have posted here about where to buy a "good" Engine Restamping kit :rofl:

is ti just me, and I am by far no expert, or does the "T" in the engine suffix look j-u-s-t a little odd? Block sleeved?

It could be understandable if only 20 were built. I can imagine the engines were likely assembled at a separate facility, all by hand.

Reason follows that the vin sequence would surely have been stamped on the regular production line.

I belive they were built with the rest of the other engines.

The real question here that everyone seems to have overlooked is-
If this really is a 'one of' 67 L-88 worth a FORTUNE, why are you selling it on E-BAY?

DOH !

Exactly :rofl:

All the engines were built by hand; they just had the right tools for mass production. :D

Looks llike someone added the 'T' to the engine suffix. :ack:

67ratrag got it. They are trolling for fish.

There is an interesting thread about this car on the NCRS board.
