at $49,900 it'll be around-Electric Garage had this car listed on e-bay a couple years ago, had no louvers at the time, I believe it was also listed in the Old car auto trader just before then by a previous owner-the e-bay listing never showed a 736 or 738 vin and never promoted GM Canada documents-but at $49,900 I would hope its real.

hey your good in math you should be a business man ! it'll still be there

Leo, I would guess that the wood grain dash is from a GTO. The chrome strip on the trunk lid must have been an add on by the owner. As well, it appears to have the wrong wheel opening moldings and quite posibly the wrong rocker chrome. All criticism aside, it is a pretty car! I love black cars!

I can send you a company cheque for 69,000...   When you receive it, just send me a cheque for the difference?

carl2, did you move to nigeria?

Hi AK.  I also noticed that the tail light bezels were chrome,not painted. Are you sure about the rear panel chrome having paint in that groove area ? My current car does not have paint there and I took out some old black and white pics. of my 1st '67 SD. The shots are pretty far away but I can't see paint on that one either. It's funny but I've seen a lot of '67 SD's over the years and I can't remember seeing paint there.
PS - I can't remember not seeing it either.

Hi Carl. The pic you sent was a bit fuzzy in that area. If you say that it is painted so be it. It looks like a shadow to me on the right side,top & bottom and no paint on the left side. Now we have 2 cars with paint and 2 without. Does anyone know for sure if it should or should not have paint ?

Here is a picture from 2005 of my car prior to restoration. I don't think it ever had paint in the trim. I have also seen other cars with the "BEAUMONT" letter painted black instead of white. The paint in the tail light bezels had peeled off over the years.

Hi 67SD396. The chrome on the rear panel of both my 67 SD's is just like yours, no paint. I'm not saying that it's right, just saying that's how it is.

One more thing about that 67SD396 for sale. (don't get me wrong, I think it's a beautiful car) It has a tach mounted on the column. Mine had the in dash tach, and if this one has a GTO instrument panel I'm sure the GTO came with a tach from the factory. I've seen pictures of many 67 SD instrument panels and the tach is not always located in the same place. Mine is extreme right. (but I've also seen clocks there)My clock is in the console.

         Here is the "real deal" on a tach equiped,  1 of 66

Well what do you know? I've never seen one without the black painted insert until that gold pic! but then if the paint peeled off the tailight bezels it could certainly come off the other trim? ...my emblems have never been re-painted, the rear panel one i touched up the black, but it was black to begin with, i have also touched up the silver/black on the grille... carls convertible pic is black... i wonder whatsup? there's an original owner sports option car in winnipeg, when i see him out in the summer i'll have to look at his car and ask him too?

if you ordered the tach, its in the dash in the clock location, clock in the console...

Hi 427 Carl. I must be missing something ???   Your note said here's the "real deal" on tachs., but nothing more was said, and the pic. of your instrument panel was too far away to see what was there. I would like to know what the "real deal" is with the tach. and the paint /no paint on the trim on the rear panel. Is mine correct - if not I want to make it correct.
Leo

PS - About re-chroming my spear emblems. I've been told to be careful who does the re-chrome, because the top of the spears are supposed to have a butler finish (dull finish) so I should make sure they know this and can do it.

       What I meant was, that the tach in my car was ordered, and original thus the "real deal" I will try to show a better picture..  I could not see, in my own pictures what  the deal was on the paint, UNTIL I saw the gold car photo...It looks like the whole panel is painted body color and the trim goes over that... My car was painted in 1979 and I never thought of it being not original    sorry I could not be more helpfull
