1967 Corvette Glove Box Literature Judging?

[Raymond P.]

I have a 1967 427/435 with tank sheet.
Car was radio delete with N89 Bolt on Wheels.
For judging do I still need a Radio Card and a Trim Ring Card?
I also have a chance to obtain a Warranty booklet with P-O-P from the car that was one number off of my serial number, also a big block. Would this be Okay for judging or should I obtain a Warranty booklet with a new made up P-O-P with the correct serial number?
Thanks, Ray Plack

Ray,
You do not need a radio sheet or a trim ring card. You also not need a radio tag due to the no radio. There was a card installed in 65 and 66 Corvettes titled "Quick take off wheel instructions" part # 3866414. I believe that card was part of the 1967 glovebox items w/ N89. In additon you will need a plastic envelope #32834159, an appropriate edition owners manual, white key envelope and a hardtop wrench if it is equiped. Some thinkg licence plate screws and envelopes belong there and others don't.
If I were you I'd go for the warranty book and POP which is one number off as long as the price is sensible. You'll get credit for having an original book and with the small number of points assigned to the glovebox contents it will be hard to deduct for an incorrect VIN. Plus you don't have an important piece of documentation in reproduction causing doubt to the car.

Rumor has it that the next 67 JM is going to eleminate the white key envelope.

Keith,
I have heard the same although I reprectfully disagree.

Re: 1967 Corv Glove Box Lit. Judging? Trim Ring Card

et. al. - Regarding the TRIM RING card, it's worth noting that early 67s with the rallye wheels will not have the trim ring card as the card shows a date of 9/23/1966. No time travel allowed. Pete

There was no instruction sheet or card for the N89 bolt-on wheels (although there probably should have been); N89 doesn't enter into the glove box contents.

For anyone who knows, on what page is the white key envelope described in the current 1967 JG?

I see them on eBay occasionally, and on the Vendor websites, and when the pictures are clear enough the printed part number in the bottom RH corner under the picture of the key is "PART NO. 3933878". I don't see it listed in "Compartment Contents" (p. 36) of the 1967 JG, and I don't see it listed in the '67 AIM on UPC 0-C1, or anywhere else.

Scott - There's more info on the Key Envelope in the Archives; check it out, if you haven't already. In a nutshell, searches of the various Corvette AIMs showed that the Key Envelope was introduced with the 1968 Production year (it's listed in the 1968 Corvette glove box contents) and the 3933876 part number is consistent with Chevrolet part numbers assigned in that time frame. The Key Envelope shows an octagon head key and the 1968 Production year was the last year for the octagon head key, but since the 1967 also used the an octagon head key, it was easy for folks to say "it could have been used" or "could be used" in the 1967 glove box literature. No harm and it's a probably a high profit item and those 67 guys are "crazy" (I can say that because I own one ) so you put on eBay and make even bigger $$$$$$$$s. Don't forget, some of these folks also sell color-coded glass fuses to owners of 63-66 Corvettes when these were introduced with the 1967 Production years. Pete

Hi Pete,

The search engine doesn't recognize the word "key" (too short) and there are 259 Threads (11 pages of search results) with the word "envelope"
[edit: I should have used the web-browser search function to search for the word "key" within each of the 11 pages of Thread-title search results, that worked and I did find a few Threads on the subject that way]

Since Keith mentioned (post 3) that references to the 'key envelope' might be removed in the next '67 JG, that seemed to imply that it was actually in the current '67 JG, but I haven't seen it. Thank you very much for the explanation. Hopefully the part number reference and Prevent Car Theft / Avoid Theft phrases will make future archive searches on this subject a little easier.

Scott -

The current '67 JG makes no mention of the white key envelope, as it wasn't used until 1968.

Agreed, but that would (I suspect) only cover a handful of cars. My 67 (car #183) shows an approx build date on the tank sticker of 9/30/66 and a body build date on the trim tag of 9/6/66.

Re: 1967 Corvette Trim Ring Card

Chris - I brought up the date of 9/23/1966 on the Trim Ring card as information for owners of 67 Corvettes build on or before 9/23 probably would not have had a Trim Ring card in the glove box literature packet. The date on the Trim Ring card was brought up because at the Western Regional in Albuquerque the judges were looking for the Trim Ring card in our glove box literature. Our '67 is S/N 1476 and has a GM official Production Date per the SHIPPING DATE REPORT and on the TRIM TAG of 9/23. I suspect that the date on the TRIM RING Card is the date it was either officially released or perhaps printed. Anyway, it was agreed that whatever the 9/23/1966 date indicates, i.e., release date or print date, it's unlikely that the card would have been available in St. Louis and inserted in the glove box literature envelope on cars built on 9/23 or earlier in September.

Agreed Peter.

Re: 1967 Corvette Glove Box Literature Judging?

Pete, could have been longer.

The printing date typical of printed matter was just that 1st impression of that edition. From there it would have been submitted for approvals and could have taken longer to ship, get scheduled, etc. What does the change block show in the 67 AIM???

Re: 1967 Corvette Glove Box Literature Judging?

Ron - I have a copy of a "DRAFTING Graphic CHEVROLET ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 3891772 CORVETTE 19000 SERIES" "CORVETTE 1967 ASSEMBLY MANUAL." It has a Corvette America logo on the front cover so I assume they made the copy.

The UPC 0/C1 SHEET MISCELLANEOUS SHIPPING LIST shows DWG 5-17-66/DATE REL. 5-20

The REVISION RECORD shows the following:
