Re: 65 fuel injection project

I owned #11744 in 1977-80- (Red/Red leather Cpe.) Drum brakes-Orig. window sticker-great car-I'm sure it is in a registry by now

YES. It is in good hands. Was judged BLOOMINGTON GOLD in 2016 after a restoration by TIM THROPE. The NCRS Top Flight at Frisco 2016. With same owner who is very active in NCRS. Currently restoring a 58 yellow RPO 684 car from Southern California

Re: 65 fuel injection project

Hi Jim, How many original 65 FI cars do you have documented now. I know you are in the 600 range. Great job Jim. I don't suppose you can call this one a barn find though.

As of today, March 12, 2020 I have 211 convertibles, 231 coupes for total of 442 cars known. In addition I have 163 units and 10 engines for 173 total parts with vin #'s. GRAND TOTAL 616. This recent find was a new entry. Maybe with the current stock market, vintage Fuel Injected Corvettes will get very popular with investors

Jim,
Interesting, that you have more coupes than convertibles.

Re: 65 fuel injection project

DON: Which VIN is correct for the red drum brake FI car?

the registry shows yours as 11774, Red/Red, drums, all docs, out of Tulsa OK, owned in 1982 by Frank Thomson, a real character from San Diego. The last entry on it was 2004 by Gary Seymour. I bet the current owner would like to know about you.

Re: 65 fuel injection project

Tom- I don't know for sure. I judged the car at Frisco, but don't know the vin. I only know what Mr. Storrer says, and what vettefinderJim has listed.
It's in the C2 Registry as 11774- Greg Horton, Warrenton MO.

YES MIKE. It was in Dallas and inspected by GARY SUMMERVILLE. I believe you now own it.

Re: 65 fuel injection project

This car is for sale on eBay. I know it well, as I sold it to the owner. He has done an excellent job carefully restoring the car to 98.3 DUNTOV level in 2012 National Convention in San Diego.

The story is a good one and all true.

Re: 65 fuel injection project

EJ,
Does current owner Greg Horton know you used to own his car? If not, I bet he would like to know. Why don't you contact him?
I visited with Frank Thomson a couple times about 10 years ago. He lived one block from Belmont Park on Mission Beach, San Diego. He had a derelict 67 convertible in his tiny garage. He told me he used to be very active in the club back in the 80s, and quite a few nice cars passed through his hands, yours being one of them.
