- BLUE 327 PROJECT SEE ALLCORVETTES.NET (DYLAN IN BEDFORD, PA), "was a 396 Corvette"

#11692 - Would be a very early one, if the quoted statement is true. Dylan had it for sale in 2016.

The Nassau Blue on Blue Roadster I mentioned back in Post #12 is now listed on the C2 Registry for VIN #22384. The owner, Donald Smith, is also an NCRS member. Besides being the 'Original Owner', the mileage on it since he bought it back in July 65 is...less than 35K.

There are 16 earlier L78's on the list including the possible prototype (046) as mentioned in Nolan's book.

Re: 65 396 survey?

I am not an expert at Google One Drive and I have made a list for L78's as per below.
Hopefully if you have Microsoft one drive you can down load it.

1965 L78 Corvettes July 31 2020.xlsx

Please let me know if you can read it?

Re: 65 396 survey?

Can anyone open this list?

Re: 65 396 survey?

Gary - It opened alright for me. Couple things that we might want to consider are that on an XLS spreadsheet we won't be able to add pics and also, depending on the accessibility, non-NCRS folks that own 65 396's won't be a part of it. That was the opening statement by Mike Ernst on this thread, talking about a fellow that had a 65 Bigblock but was not a part of any organized group or club. It would be nice to include all 65 396 owners. That's why I'm sort leaning towards the C2Registry.org as a fairly well known site that covers all the bases, info, pics, personal writeups as to history, etc. Comments?

Re: 65 396 survey?

There is a link to a picture for each Vette in the spreadsheet under photos. But there are only a few pictures added so far as I don't want to plagiarize them from the web. Have a look at mine, 18669 and see if it works?

I agree, the C2 Registry would be the best place for the list. More photos and more info than you can put in a spreadsheet.

Last week I sent an email to the the C2 Registry asking if they can filter on engine size on their list. This would help all owners. No reply as yet.

Re: 65 396 survey?

Gary -- Yes I can read it (Ubuntu operating system, if that makes a difference). C2 registry reminds me that my 396 #23564 is celebrating its 55th birthday today (Aug 2nd 1965).
