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?

...more "interesting" reading here...
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...054&forum_id=4
...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 
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?

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

All the engines were built by hand; they just had the right tools for mass production. 
Looks llike someone added the 'T' to the engine suffix.
67ratrag got it. They are trolling for fish.
