I'm back
4 years later and glad to see this board still running.
Still got the car, although the purist in me lost out to the pragmatist who got sick of it overheating and replaced the radiator and water pump with high performance stuff. Problem with those electric fans is they run for 10 mins...
Hope if found a good home
Wow, did you see this bargain from the same collection?
Zora's personal 55, with racing history wint for 122k?
That seems like quite the bargain
Thank you Jim
I keep a file on anything that I learn. As you can tell, i'm not on a rampage to document anything on this car, but I do enjoy gathering information to put the history together and meeting some good folks along the way.
A few years ago I tracked down Owner number 4, who had the...
Thank you for that link.
Another wierd thing about the tank sticker (copy) i received for a 67 with 425 hp motor was that it also included Option 02A32AA "Headrest bench seat"
How bout that? A bench seat in a corvette? I'm sure it's a mistake, so these buidl sheets/tank stickers were not...
Thanks Jim
Funny, I just sent your website link to a friend in NJ who is looking for a 65-67 small block roadster. He's put off buying one for years and now has some serious sticker shock.
I also never say never. As far as the tank sticker is concerned, the rubber around my gas filler neck...
so, how did you come to own these?
Don't tell us that you had a 63 and wanted to make it look like a 64 with the big back window, which was quite common in 64 you know.
be careful
You know you better watch out when the shop doing the work tells you what the car is going to be worth when they're finished.
Maybe they figure it'll be worth 80k then, and 10k now, so they can charge you 70k for the resto and you'll be ok. This is the wrong type of thinking.
Your...
Thanks Alan
Thanks john, for your insight.
As far as the 23 owners is concerned, I have no idea why. I've traced it back to #3. It has always been in NJ since new (according to NJDMV) and had this motor since #3 (according to owner #3.
The best news is that is has never been hit, has one...
My car
My car has a tank sticker which remains on the tank. I have been reluctant to drop the tank because:
a. it's a job i'd rather not tackle if it's not necessary.
b. once the tank has been dropped, there is no way to verify that the tank (and tank sticker stuck to it) belong to my car...
For all you skeptics....
About 10 years ago, i placed an ad in NCRS magazine looking for info on my car, noting the 425 hp setup, and received a call from a North Carolina owner of a similar car, and he had the tank sticker to prove that his car came with a 425 hp motor.
I have a photocopy...
Love the customs
I think a big part of the corvette mistique is the wild customizations that people did to them in the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
They were so personalized.
While I try to keep my car as original as possible, i certainly appreciate a well kept, maintained, and enjoyed custom.
I understand the different configurations
I understand what was offered.
I also understand that there were 10 copo cars made, all for color changes that were not "available" in the sales brochures.
I'm just wondering if anyone might know about original cars with motors not listed above.
If I...
I've got a 67 with a 425 hp motor in it.
The suffix is ID which per Al Colvin means "special high performance 427, 11 engines built, no record of install"
There is no vin on the block, but it was assembled just a couple of weeks before my car came off the assembly line.
The car is in NJ, and has...
