    Getting more old American cars here would be very nice, a first gen Viper or C4 ZR1 would be cool to see

      @Brian Lee No lol, usually every time a special Corvette model is named, the generation precedes the model just like C4 ZR1, C5 Z06, C6 Z06/ZR1, and so on

    My favorite generation of Corvette. The 67 coupe is my personal favorite, and an American icon. Such a beautiful car all around. And bonus points for being a 4 speed!

    Hood is obviously gorgeous but it's a '67 427 hood and doesn't belong. Stunning car though. Fantastic engine. Sounds delicious and is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I could die happy in that car haha.

      I never saw that gorgeous hood on a small block before but they claim the car is all original in the video. The owner probably was told its original when he bought the car and passed along that info to the guys in the video. Its sad to see what GM and Chevrolet did in the 1960's versus what thay are making toay.

    I love the sound of the pipes, very good driving, knows how to blip the throttle to down shift; experience driving a standard trans is evident. Very nice car. I own a small block numbers matching 1964 coupe red interior and ermine white body. Four speed Muncie with 3:08 positrac with 32K on the clock. Oh and factory a/c.

    Weight of the c2 were not so light at approximately 3360 lbs but that L79 made it seems light. These cars were such a pleasure to drive more so that the Big Block where you could feel the weight. The L79 was the best option on the C2’s in my opinion and I would take it over the BB any day. I really like how you shot this video showing the gauges and shifting instead of the road. Nice car I like how they did the two tone interior , nice touch, THX.

    If I remember correctly the early models with the knockoff wheels came from the factory with a brass hammer. That L79 350 hp 327 was an awesome engine! Hydraulic lifters made it easy to keep tuned and it was a stormer in the lightweight Corvettes and Chevy ll's. Those were the only models that engine was available in.

    Does it feel like driving a boat?, A downside for this car is mostly the safety, It needs to be taken care of closely and be driven at weekends....
