No. If you could check the date on the cowl tag (on the car) the next time you are out there that'd be great.

Sounds right....

So - built the third week of November of '67, then invoiced 12/4/67? Didn't stick around too long....

- unless - there's another invoice date later on. We have seen some show cars with two and three separate invoice dates.

Seems more reasonable to think that an executive (or regular GM employee) ordered the car for his own purchase. Usually when that is the case the purchaser is in a hurry to get the car as quickly as possible.

I have one fairly well equipped, also. Is there a way to determine how rare certain option combos are? Red, red int, white cordova top, metric radials, auto, console, posi, am/fm mono, rear defog, door edge guards, hide a ways, hood tach, rally 2s, rally guages, clock, ps, pb-drum, tilt, all tint, pw, ps-driver, a/c. All for $4751.86, what a deal! My grandma ordered the car in 68. Her trade...64 gto tri power. Go granny go!

That's a one of one... not that it matters!

For the record, the radials are probably the rarest option on the list.
