    Out of all the different Corvettes over the years I think this shape is still my fave. They're all real nice in their own way, and a really good record of automotive history - every Corvette model is a product of its time yet still instantly identifiable as a Corvette. But this '67 shape is timeless. No matter what direction car fashion goes, this model will always look good.

      The first problem would be to remove a lot of computer controls and then install that running gear focused only on going really fast down that 1/2 mile. In that environment, nothing else matters and all that computer circuitry just gets in the way. A C8 Vette is a great car but for a different purpose.

      John Smith depends on what year of c3. The c2s small block 327 and big block 427 were absolute beats. Because you can do so much with the 327 small blocks and the 427 is just simply powerful except the 427 is so heavy it’s hard to turn corners

      Man you're right!
      Many consider the '67 the pinnacle of design and power.
      The best examples routinely go for over $1m US. Some of those upwards of $3.5m US.
      When released in '67, a new Corvette with the highly coveted L88 factory stock engine, attained over 170mph(273kph) during the 24 Hours of LeMans on the Mulsanne Straight!
      Going that fast, in 1967!
      That's faster than Mario Andretti's pole speed in the '67 Indianapolis 500!
      Here in the US, growing up in the 60s and driving in the 70s, seemingly there were these monstrously powerful muscle cars nearly at every light you'd pull up to. Good handling/braking? ... not so much. The Vette was an exception, 4 wheel discs, independent rear suspension, it handled better than most of it's US contemporaries.
      My first car was a '67 Mustang. Wow, just thinking back, great memories for sure.
      Back to the video, damn that engine sound is lovely!

Also any transmission would have been built specifically for the car. This guy and his "boys" may have done alot of work on their car but it sure as hell wasn't done by a shade tree mechanic.

    Gotta love it! I have owned a mainly stock 1967 Corvette Sting Ray L71 427/435 HP for almost 50 year. It's a rag-top and yellow and mainly stock. It was my first major purchase after coming hone from Viet Nam. I've currently still with 5 specialty cars I bought between '72 and '87. My '67 427/435 is by far my favorite. I paid around 6 grand for it, which now sounds ludicrous. I bought around a year later a '70 Pontiac GTO Judge w/400 and paid only $2,500 at a auction I ran a car though. I like driving it during the mild winters we get with the top down. It's prone to fish-tailings but has really tight steering and sweey ride. My Vette is my favorite and I've owned many awesome cars in my collecting period from the early 70's through the late 80's when I bought a '87 twin turbo 911/930 Porsche w/505 slantnose option. I thank my 1st love my wife of 50 years for allowing me this 1 vice. I guess, she'll reap the rewards from it!

      I don't know what you're saying is 68 was a bad car to.. I had a 68 with flared fenders hardtop soft top and side pipes. 327 350 horse double hump heads. But that car is definitely the perfect size. The bigger they got the easier it is to lose it. And believe me I got close a couple of times.

    • @gneric85
      @gneric85 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Alazar Gebremariam,
      Every hard part internally was replaced with available billet components from PTS Xtreme. Cut down the 4th piston to allow one extra clutch. Billet servo. Billet pump internals. .570" Throttle Valve bushing. Wide red band (before they had issues). All thrust washer surfaces machined for thrust bearings. Red clutches thruout the whole trans. Even in Fwd clutch. My own valve body improver setup. And proper end play. This was back when PTS sold parts that were rated for 800hp. The last owner was shooting for 800 with the engine he built for that Vette and from what Chuck has told me, Kyle has had lots of racing and quite a few dyno pulls with it. The dyno operators were amazed that a 2004R lasted more than one pull.
