Do you have more info Rick? Interior, city, state, PB, etc?

Black vinyl. I do Gary, Don't believe the owner is on the forum though so out of sensitivity I will give to Mike when we speak.

Re: 1965 L78 Register

23162 & 23053 now on both Registers.
Interesting that engine block 21582 is in Fresno and the Vette is in Australia!
See how the registry works

Re: 1965 L78 Register

Hi Gary -- here's the note I took down back in June 2007(?) while at an internet cafe in Longueuil Quebec. It was on eBay and offered this Protect-O-Plate for auction. I checked and it was not a Canadian dealer-delivered car.

L78 # 22212 (convertible) AZ0428 (3.55 ratio for 396); P0630; "T0626IF, cast E_27_5" (no colours noted). Don't list if you feel uncomfortable with the data.
