A friend of mine had a 67 also. He bought an L88 engine through his dealership back then, and I remember seeing it sitting in a big wooden shipping crate in his garage. The engine standalone cost him about $1,800.00. My Corvette cost me $3,900 new off the showroom floor. It was the last new 67 model year Corvette still available in Dallas.
I started saving paper route and lawn mowing money for a Corvette in 1958. I worked my butt off and had $3,000 saved 9 years later at age 19. My dad loaned me the remaining $900.00.
Thanks, Dad.
