  An old friend Loren "LeMans" Lundberg alerted
  me to the possible inconsistency in the descriptions and/or typographical
  errors in these different presentations of 1967
  coupe VIN 802. If this be the same sow, then she certainly is proof
  that you can make a silk purse out of a .... Ohhh my Gawd. |

  Epilogue: Last week I
  called Keith at the phone number in the above NCRS Driveline
  advertisement for this 1967 coupe VIN 802 to see if it was sold.
  Sadly, Keith stated he "sold it at Carlisle to Noel from Ohio".
  I replied, "I was at August 2004 Carlisle and did not see this
  car". He related that it had been "freshly painted"
  and when the gas tank was dropped, the "tank sticker showed it
  was a real Black/Red 435 HP car". I thought to myself:
  some good fortune, eh? |

  Honestly, Keith did not tell me what color it was freshly
  painted, when he sold it to "Noel from Ohio". Nor did
  he say who found the tank sticker. And I did not pry and ask. We discussed
  some other Corvettes he had for sale and he said to call him back at his
  business (303) 777-2020. Corvel Automotive, 1130 South Cherokee St, Denver,
  CO 80223. I don't think I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with his
  establishment however he has some other Corvettes for sale. http://www.polonyx.com/corvel.htm |

  In the last week, I received several emails from fellow NCRS
  members about this 1967 model. Dave wrote that he was at this January
  Scottsdale Arizona action. He personally witnessed this particular auction
  and identified the auction seller of this 1967
  coupe VIN 802 as Noel, a specialty car dealer from Hamilton,
  Ohio. Dave also stated the the next car, lot 450.2 was sold by the
  same fellow. It was another Black/Red 427. A 1966
  convertible VIN 16861. It only sold for 159,300 so it was not as
  expensive. More about it later.   |

|   The Moral of this Tale: Some guys have all the luck. Can you say Caveat Emptor? or is
  that $35 membership fee in the National Camel Riders Society a foolish
  extravagance? |

  PS Please
  tell the owner of 1967 VIN 802 to contact me so that I can congratulate
  him on his good fortune. |
