I don't know if you are keeping track, GT, but I did a tally of original bike colors on your registry. Just thought this would be interesting:

Original Color -- No. of Bikes -- Percent
Black -- 41 -- 40%
Red -- 33 -- 32%
Blue -- 14 -- 14%
Green -- 13 -- 13%
Coppertone -- 1 -- 1%
Unknown -- 1 -- 1%

Total: 103

Maybe you could copy this to your original post and update as new bikes are added...
 
Adding this one to the list. It's for sale in the Newport Beach area so you Cali guys might want to try out one of these. ;)
Looks pretty much all original and can't tell if the derailleur is a bent up original or something else. Missing just a few pieces. I'll have to verify the serial, it seems the seller has it listed as a 61 with a 61 number but the cable guides say it's a 1962 model.

Here are the after pictures. Bike ended up being a nice rider. Thank you to all that helped me with this.

Just entered your Corvette on the list @hatz4katz ...... Had to modify the other K serial numbered entries with the correct date. Seems the type error in the original serial list thru me off by one day. I'm copying your pictures and adding them here since your post was wrapped up in a quote and they don't show up unless one clicks on expand.
I would like to add that this piece is the first actual 1961 serial numbered Corvette to show up with the 1962 style 10 speed cable guides, but it's still a 1961 model. The 11/27/61 L serial numbered Corvettes all had these cable guides and all were built up as 1962 models with the chrome stand and fender braces, and just about all of them having a 1962 cast dated crank.

Here are all the shots of one currently for sale in Maine. Seller is looking for offers so someone local might be able to pick this one up cheap.

Serial number L151586 is another Nov 27, 1961 stamped number and the bike is most likely a 62 model with those cable guides, chrome fender braces and stand.
