A mid-seventies time-warp. The owner of this Corvette purchased it new in 1964, then proceeded to drive it over 300,000 miles. In the 1970’s he modified it with a super-charger and had a custom paint job done, earning it a spot in Car Craft magazine. He then added a pair of Mikuni carbs that prevent him from running a hood on the car. “I just want to go fast” is what he said when asked about it. Would this car be a good subject for me to write a magazine article about? #corvette #1964corvette #customcorvette #midyearcorvettes #vintagecorvette #c2corvette (at Livermore, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bob17nWn8wF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5alhsv05agic

📸 Photo & Story Credit by: #MichaelDart - Facebook/ #MidYearCorvettes Another #JeffHayes creation, a 1967 #StingRay #Coupe This is the sister to my 1967, different, but very similar as they were built together. Basically the colors are reversed and the interiors feature the normal differences. The car was recently aquired by Harwood Motors to sell, but it sold before it was placed in their showroom, they were asking $249K USD. Here's a road test video if you like, give a very good representation og how these Restomods drive.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r_r0y3Kx0A&list=FLrhzo78kQ9FJu7bhudzKS0w&index=4&t=0s #Repost #CorvetteRestomods #Corvette #C2 #CorvetteSuperCars (at Somewhere in the USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEvIh0Wn_iq/?igshid=172uu44wct2ff

1965 #Mid #Year #CutAWay, fantastic peek inside a Mid Year (literally) to see what makes it tick. These Cut-A-Ways have become very valuable amongst collectors. As described when sold at Barrett Jackson for $1.1 Million Lot #1413 - The 1965 Corvette Stingray sitting atop this demonstration stand was not originally purpose-built for this use. It actually began its life as a road-ready early-production example that was finished in Le Mans Blue and had a white interior. When new, it was shipped to a specialty company that produced dramatic and attention-grabbing exhibits for commercial and industrial shows. There, the car was fully disassembled and rebuilt as this one-of-a-kind display stand for use by General Motors and Chevrolet on the auto show circuit. In order to properly demonstrate all of the hidden mechanical components of the car, the body was mounted on elevating rams that would raise the exterior nearly two feet off of the chassis, leaving its internal running gear exposed. Careful and well-thought-out incisions were made into all of the major components to further illustrate its build quality and overall operation. The exterior of the 327ci 8-cylinder engine, transmission, driveshaft and other mechanical parts were finished in bright red to provide clear contrast to the body, and the casting of the 4-speed manual gearbox was cut out to showcase the clutch and flywheel. The heads received custom-made, transparent valve covers, with additional cutout panels revealing the critical inner workings of the fuel-injection unit, exhaust, intake manifolds and the block itself. The muffler’s exhaust chambers, sections of the chassis and the right front disc brake were exposed as well, to allow for further inspection of their designs. At the show, a series of electric motors would operate all of the cutaway internal components. Rather than function in real time, the components were geared to work at just a few revolutions per minute, as this would allow for observers to fully digest and understand how to underlying mechanical components functioned. #CorvetteHistory #MidYearCorvettes #Corvette #CutawayCorvettes #Repost #C2 (at West Porters Lake, Halifax, Nova Scotia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEiLCwSnsKO/?igshid=1uvce4zeynr2m
