Learn About A 1967 Corvette From Alex Schult And Smokinvette
The best Corvette ever is the 1967 Corvette which is a Sting Ray refined to the limit. The changes were again modest and it is the cleanest Sting Ray. The three larger fender vents were replaced by five smaller vents, a less chunky appearance from the flat finish rockers and ribbing. The single backup light that was mounted above the license plate is new and unique.
The old fashioned wheel covers from the previous model were replaced with slotted six inch Rally wheels with chrome beauty rings and lug nuts concealed behind small chrome caps. The interior alterations were the revised upholstery and the handbrake moved from beneath the dash to between the seats. One option is the optional hardtop is offered with a black vinyl cover.
The Power trains were not changed much. The two small-block V-8s returned, as did the 390-bhp big-block (hulking beneath a redesigned hood scoop). But the top two 427s now developed 400 and 435 bhp with a switch to triple two-barrel carburetors. As before, they differed in compression ratios — 10.25:1 and 11.0:1, respectively — and the solid lifters and transistorized ignition that went on the 425-bhp unit. The latter, RPO L71, was also available with special aluminum heads (instead of cast iron) and larger-diameter exhaust valves as RPO L89, though with the same grossly understated horsepower.
This ultimate Corvette engine for 1967, was coded L88 which was an even wider L89 that was close to a pure racing engine that Chevy offered. The car came with lightweight heads, bigger ports, hotter cam, aluminum radiator, small diameter flywheel, stratospheric 12.5:1 compression and a single huge Holly four barrel carburetor. The result was no less than 560 bhp, again at 6400 rpm.
However, there was a problem, you had to use 103 octane racing fuel and this was only available at some service stations. Surely, this was not an engine for the average driver. When the L88 was ordered Chevy made several individual options mandatory. Those were the positraction, the transistorized ignition, heavy duty suspension, power brakes, and RPO C48. To discourage the car from being used on the street, these deleted the normal radio and heater to cut down on weight.

As prices go up, demand goes down. That's true even of gasoline. Get on your bikes and ride.
many of the things you are asking will very from state to state. here, if you are not actually the one buying the car- just finding it, then you would not need a dealers permit.
you have to have connections. you might want to find a few vehicles that you can locate buyers for at first. you have to have a good eye as far as spotting the smallest blemish in the paint or interior. you have to have a good understanding of the mechanics so that your ear is trained to pick up a noise from a belt/engine whatever.
as far as if the vehicle is across or out of the country- most of the people buying these cars are wealthy. flying out to look at the car is not a big expense in their eyes. if you have a good reputation many won't even care, they will trust your instinct and that you know exactly what they're looking for.
many people, unless what they are looking for is very very rare or uncommon, are turning to ebay. that, coupled with the economy, means the market for the service you want to offer is not very big. also, there are already many experienced "finders" out there. the price of classic cars is going down, think of it kinda like the housing bubble. the market value of these cars has, in some cases, already dropped tens of thousands of dollars.
definitely check out the big, well known auctions- barrett jackson for example. subscribe to the collectors magazines. befriend the local chapters of the classic car clubs in your area. get a damn good idea of what different years/makes/models are worth.
here are some links, both big names and people i know personally
this is not something you can get into right away and expect to support yourself in a comfortable lifestyle. it will take a lot of work, getting to know the right people, finding good clients and building your reputation.
I've just noticed that Henning Mankel has a thing about classic cars. Is there one in every episode of Wallander? I'll have to check.
