Now that I think of it I believe this color
was offered on the 67' and if not there
was a similar shade of yellow.
1965: Goldwood Yellow...(code: XX)
1966: Sunfire Yellow.......(code: 984)
1967: Sunfire Yellow.......(code: 984)
1968: Safari Yellow.........(code: 984)

Re: 2 ways to cover the fresh air grill on a classic muscle car
Awesome banter between Corvette aficionados.
I'm no expert on them, but any car guy knows that there was NOTHING like them from '53 (Blue Flame 6) until the late '60's/early '70's. (430hp 427).
I'm a Mopar guy, but anyone worth their salt knows how bad-ass the 'Vette is.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I have a short list of MoPars but for Vettes its 63-67 coupes, 56-57's and 61-62's, that order. 68-72's are ok I guess.

Bought it new in January, 1970.

(Lexington to Elizabethtown, Ky.).
WHOOOSH!!

Ok, Bob. Now this is just SCREAMING for the info of the power plant residing under the hood of this top of the line Belvedere!

Fortunately, at that time, I lived close to
“Ohio George” Montgomery’s speed shop.
They did a little tweaking on the 440 Magnum.
•From what little I remember from ~50
years ago:
-They installed the Holley 3x2 (Six Pack
induction package); polished the OEM forged
crank; upgraded the valve springs; dual points;
tuned for 400 hp @4,700 rpm, 490 ft-lb.
•Solid performer.
-Wish I still had it.
