Just saw it on there. It looks really sharp!!!
Let's wait and see what this one goes for.
Just wish I had hit the lottery lately, with all the nice cars that have been put up for auction.

two things come to my mind as I look at the car.
1. who in their right mind would sell an L-88 on eBay if it was REAL??!!
2. Is it me or does that stamp pad look to "perfect" - too straight and even and all numbers and letters perfectly in line with each other. Real factory stampings weren't done that carefully I thought. I don't claim to know much about stamp pads though so it will be interesting to see what others have to say about it

When this car was on the forum before, someone mentioned that the car was actually one of a group purchase of 12 Vettes by the Shriners. As the VIN #'s were in that group purchase range.....

Broach marks - some of the pro's can look at the pad and tell if it has the appearance of an unmolested factory stamp. When the block was pushed through the machine that decks it ( I think?) it left particular swirl marks on the pad that most mom and pop machine shops cannot reproduce.

This car was at the Barrett Jackson a few years ago and brought big money until the guys couldn't provide the documentation that he said he had....it resold the next day for much less. Not sure if any of you guys that have 67s have your window sticker and such but my dad still has the origianl window sticker and a letter from GM from when he ordered it and we were looking at them today and they both list the dealer address with a 2 digit zip code???? His is from Denver, CO and just listd the zip as 19.......any other ideas on this?

here is what he wrote back to me
You do not have any records/documentation on any 67 or older corvettes sold at Anderson Chev because they do not exist. I have personaly been to Wahoo & discused this with the owners son (who was 10 years old in 67) who showed me a list of vin #,s on corvettes they had sold & that is all they have! If you have documented proof to the contary lets see it.

I can't believe he answered the email and left it on the eBay site.... 
"1967 Corvette L-88 convertable 1 of 20 built(Not Yenko)"
Taken from his eBay listing..... what the hell does "Not Yenko" mean....
Only thing I can think of is not "Yenko-ing your chain"....

I am still interested in what happened with the sale of the "L88 Tanker" 67 that sold on eBay a few months ago for $850,000...that was an absolutly gorgeous car and well done but with all the info I read here on the forum about that car is that it was a TOTAL fake. I really wonder if these are REAL bids people are putting on these cars or if they are SHILL bidding, although the $850,000 met reserve so if it was SHILL bidding the seller would have had to pay a sellers fee. You would think that these people bidding on these supposed REAL L88 cars would do a little homework. I guess thats what is great about the Corvette community...it seems we are all pretty tight knit and someone seems to always know the true story behind some of the clones that are trying to be passed off as the real deal.
