And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Those are officially called side pipes by gm. Lake pipes where from the fiftys, an add on to early customs and often fake. The last set of original 67 side pipes I sold brought more than the first Corvette I bought. Bubbarust

I wasn't critizing this beautiful car,as I always had this on my top list. Just trying to add some info for other car nuts. I judged Corvette shows and can say that the details we had to get into would drive you nuts. Bubbarust
I have a 74 Stingray that has been upgraded to a 415 HP small block with a stock 4 speed rock crusher and a 4:10 posi rear. My Audi A5 is quicker but it is not as much fun to drive.
First car I was over 165 mph, 435 67' roadster. Scary and very unstable at that speed. At that time I had wrecked my mother's 67' 396 Chevelle. Unsatisfied with the repaired car, she traded for a 69' Dodge Charger 440 magnum RT. It was as fast as the Corvette, but much more stable at speed. Bubbarust

Let's not forget the three tail lights on each side. Definitely not stock.

ReplyDelete'63 to '67 is my favorite body style, although I prefer convertibles.
ReplyDeleteOnce you've driven with the top down, nothing else is quite as good.
