I have owned this 65 Vette for over 33 years. never had the original engine,so I just installed what ever I felt like when I wanted to. Loved the Big Blocks, and they will always have a speciel place in my heart.
Well I wanted to pass this car on to my daugther, since her first ride home from the hospital was a red Vette with side pipes. The only thing that I had that was running.
So, Off with the body and installed a new aftermarket frame, 96 Vette suspension, rack & pinion steering, 1999 Vette LS1, 4L60E transmission, Classic Air, Hydo Boost brakes, Alum radiator, 17 " Alum Wheels. I covered the 98 Vette seats with 65 material and correct color for 1965. Had to fabricate the LS1 emblems. Dash is all digital.
This really made a great driver. Not to mention WILD. Drove it to Effingham last year(won a celerbity choice award), and plans are to the make the trip again this September.
