    It's my 1965 Corvette. Many clues to someone familiar with them are all in the pic. I'm partial to the classic ones and not the new ones so much.

    not sure, but why didn't you go with mandrel bends for the exhaust? Those pinch points will likely hurt performance.

    It's a correct car and that's the way the original exhausts were.

    does that ever drip into your spider or do you have a pan or something?

    There are plastic trays that you can move around. It does drip a little after it's driven. Usually one or two from the transmission and one drip from the rear differential.

    Have you ever driven one? I was obsessed with the mid year and found a fully restored one in mint condition. Had not driven one at that point and took it for a ride.

    I wasn’t prepared for the ride quality at all. Guess I’m a Ferrari guy. It was not a car for me.

    I still think it’s one of the most beautiful cars out there, that opinion hasn’t changed.

    I had a 66 427 390 hp and loved every minute of ownership. 3 stupid sells were the 66 Vet, the 246 GT Ferrari, the 84 BBi Ferrari. I do like my 458 2015 ,but not like the 3 mentioned prev. Nice collection!
