I give you the 1963 Corvette Fastback 427cubic inch, 5 speed, it originally came with a 4 speed but was replaced with a 5 speed during the restoration process.
Here is the truth, I was scared to death to give it any gas because it was so powerful that I idled over to the Chevy Dealer and back. And that little ding, $500.00 (a lot of money in 1964) was the estimate.
The one above? Rumor has it that the owner (owner of the Chevy Dealership) was offered $200,000 for the Vette. He just said it's not for sale.
I promise, I did not slobber on it one drop. They all landed on the floor.
That car was in my dreams as a 17 year old, and it still is.
ReplyDeleteHad a 72 350 LT1 for a short period in my life. Then I got married. Nuff said.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beauty, Mark! If I was ever to own a 'vette, I always told myself it would be yellow. I really like the white racing stripes on the hood. I'll be visiting my best friend in Toledo Ohio later this week, and I was going to photograph some of his cars. He has some beauties.
