Love the feathered overspray on the inside of the hood!

Who knows why, but it's accepted that the exhaust has orange overspray from the engine painting. I think this is a real L89 car.....So cool........... </div></div>

you're right, but how did it hit the manifolds and not the heads(?) is the question at hand....odd. </div></div>

'67 Corvette BB's were the same way - non-L89's (including L-88's with aluminum heads) had the heads painted, but the heads were masked off on L-89's (only 16 were built), and the L-89 was the only '67 BB Corvette with chrome valve covers. Must have wanted to give the owner something to show what he paid the extra $368.00 for. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

.... or was this car &quot;dealer exchanged&quot; .... and the heads were installed at the previous dealer? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] </div></div>

Considering Bob Wagoner, BWAG here, ordered the car (he worked at Schmidt Chevrolet) and took delivery of it, thus taking pics fresh off the transporter as he's quoted as having said a few posts up, that question is null and void.
