Love the color! looks sweet..... but those center caps are not correct? Right... at least the inserts are not.:rant: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RARE...ewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item2eab57992f
I thought the 67's had the "Thin Bird", as in what Cars inc. sold me... I wonder if mine are correct... as I do see many with the tri shields...o No: see pic
I've seen both thin bird and tri-shield, dunno which is correct. My 4-spd convert has the tri-shield. My post 4-spd car is that color with a white interior. I can't wait to get to it to restore, the color combo should be stunning!
Most of the vintage photos and original '67 cars I've seen have the black tri-shield inserts. My opinion is that very few '67s had the red inserts but there is definitely proof that some had the red: check out this thread: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=186345
I have the original hubcaps that came with my car when it was driven off the lot for the first time, bird caps. I guess anything is possible.
Here is an excerpt from an email from the owner when he was asked what the reserve was, the car may be for sale for awhile. "58,000.00, No problem with inspection. I uplaoded a pic from the papers my Dad go the day he ordered the car. Neil"
I parted alot...er..um..i mean a few...67s back in the 80s (including a 67 gs 400 post car with a 4 speed and consolette)....all of htem had tri sheild centers...some cars where untouhced...forever it was my understanding tri sheild caps are correct for all 67s.. 58,ooo...the guy is fishing, people that put prices like that on their cars are showing off the car...not trying to sell it....
Hey Mark I hear.... it's just I would think Cars would know thier stuff... and when I picked up all my parts they insisted 100% that the "Tri Shields" did not come out till "68" as per thier parts book.... now when I got my 67 it did have tri shields on it , but the flat type like 70-80's style, not the one shown here. even my buddy's 67 GS 400 4 spd has the red thin birds, but I suspect he got his from cars also. now I am not saying that cars is wrong, I just would like to know if infact the "Tri Shields" where available in 1967...JJJ
Chris, did you talk to him? I hope you told him to put down the pipe!!!! $58,000.00 Holy S**t stain!!!!! :shock: I was thinking in the 17,maybe 20ish range in this market......
I have pictures of my Mom & Dad's 67 GS400 the day they bought it, window sticker still in place, clear plastic over the seat's,cardboard floor mats,etc. and it has/had red center caps with the skylark:Smarty: I just noticed that this was post #1967 COINCIDENCE??
Tom you need to go find that car and bring it back to the miller fold? That is cool, do you know where the car has gone? Mind you are in /michigan it might have gone back into the earth with your winters. Bill
Believe me, I've looked,and looked,and looked again. I'm afraid she supplied steel for many toyota's many years ago:ball:
Tom "I just noticed that this was post #1967 COINCIDENCE??" I see you moved on to 1968 already :Brow: I think it meant for you to find that beautiful piece of machinery!! "I'm afraid she supplied steel for many toyota's many years ago:ball:" No you didn't :eek2: do you have more pics? BUQUICK post a thead that shows your Mom and the one of you Dad I think putting the tach in.... Very Cool !!! Actually it's way better then cool to have those pics... It's Priceless :kodak:
No, I didn't talk to him, a guy out here in WA wants a nice 67 real bad and emailed him and forwarded me the reply.
