As a daily driver??? :eek
It's my wife's birthday today so we went out for about an hour and a half drive round trip. Engine ran great. It was about 85-90 deg here today and sunny.
This BB really heats up the interior. We went into part of the city where we had stop & go red light traffic for about 10-15 min. The dual spal's and Dewitt aluminum radiator kept the engine @190 thru-out the drive
I can't imagine using this car as a daily driver 35 years ago. Its just brutal. No PS, No PB and NO AC! But I know people did because not everyone had a "hobby" car and a daily driver. Most people back then had ONE car.
A BB 4sp with NO A/C! :eek Even on short 10-15 min trips I get outa the seat and my t-shirt is drenched in sweat. We also had the roofs off and of course, no rear window.
Yeah, I'm thinking of one day adding A/C only I don't like the way it clutters up the engine compartment. :lol:
Even with AC, I'd say it would really have a task cooling the interior, there was a lot of heat from the tranny tunnel too.
Next time I'll ask my wife if she wants to go into the Vette sauna instead of asking her if she wants to "go for a ride." :L
