    Wow, that brings back memories. My dad owned a large autobody shop in Boston in the '60s. Dad owned a '68 Shelby GT500 and his painters brother had a '67 vette 427 tri-power 435hp with side pipes and a 4 speed. They agreed to trade cars one weekend. The Vette was an absolute beast. Without any modern traction controls and bias ply tires, you were guaranteed a trip off the road if you tried to launch it too hard.

    A very nice review! I used to own one with the 327 L79 option. All 63-67s that came with an automatic would have been the venerable 2 speed Powerglide. Even if one ordered the 390hp 427.
    The TH400 3 speed automatic transmission were used from 68-74. After that year GM was trying to save weight and went to the TH350.
    Oh and regarding the side exhaust, there was only one chassis for the Corvette so the holes for the standard exhaust were there even if one did order the side pipes.

    • @robertstancliffsr9575
      @robertstancliffsr9575 Год назад +2

      The sound alone is enough to go for the L-79 option. I had a 67 Corvette years ago which I bought slightly used in 1968, and traded it after a year or so for an El Camino. Very dumb move on my part. My 67 was rare, but not in a good way. It had zero factory options. This means it was a 3-speed manual transmission, 300hp 327 with no radio....no options, period. This had to be rare, and I wonder if I had kept it if it would it today be worth more because so few were made, or a lot less due to the absence of desirable options. I still enjoyed the car...a lot.........especially on the trip to Key West I took in 1968......

      Yeah bias ply tires were terrible and Corvettes did not use them. They all had a unique special nylon cord tire good for a sustained 140 mph and used on almost no other car. Any tire you see today on a Corvette that says Sup-R-Belt or something similar is for some other car, not a Vette.

    I worked in a local, large Chevrolet parts department from 65 through May 68 and was pretty familiar with the offerings for the Corvette. I don't recall the basic three speed manual being offered during those years and never encountered a Corvette from 63 on equipped with one. The old two speed powerglide as far as I know was never offered with the 427 engine. The Powerglide may have been available in 65 or even as late as 67 but they would be rare. The much better three speed Turbohydromatic became available in about mid 65 and we only saw that automatic transmission option for the Corvette from that point on. Most that we sold were 4 speeds. If you wanted extreme performance you could special order the Corvette by parts number. We sold one while I was there. I don't recall the engine designation but it was a 427 with over 500 hp, special performance suspension and brakes, no power accessories of any kind, no radio and no heater. It was designed from the ground up for racing. It was a great collage job and I got to drive a lot of examples of C1, 2, and early 3 Corvettes.

    Worked at a Chevy dealership from 65 through 68 and drove a number of Stingrays while I worked in parts. I do not recall any three speed manual transmissions offered in a stingray Corvettes. Turbohydromatics were offered beginning in 65 with the big block 396 engine only . The two speed power glide was the only automatic available in 63.

    • @thud9797
      @thud9797 5 месяцев назад

      The 3-speed manual was the standard transmission on the Corvette from 1955 thru 1969. Originally it was available with any engine even the high performance engines but by the mid-60's it was relegated to the base 300hp small block only. It was never available with a big block in the Corvette although with other Chevrolet models it was. For 1970, the 3-speed was dropped and the M20 wide ratio 4-speed Muncie was made the standard transmission.
      The first year for the Turbohydramatic transmission in a Corvette was delayed until 1968 as Chevrolet waited for the C3 redesign before offering it in the Vette. It was available with the base 327/300, the 427/390 or the 427/400. It was not available on any solid lifter big block until 1969 and no automatic transmission was ever available with the 327/350 or 350/350 in the Corvette. Seems crazy that you could get a 427 with a powerglide in the Vette but it is true however only the hydraulic lifter engines, the 390hp or 400hp. All solid lifter big blocks starting with the 396 in 1965 required a 4-speed manual until 1969. For 1969 a special high upshift version was used behind the solid lifter and L88 engines and that was the best Turbo 400 that GM ever built. Used in Vettes in 1969 then again in 1971 on the LS6 and that was it. Last use of the Turbo 400 was in 77 on the L82, then all were Turbo 350.

    You can thank Bill Mitchell for the C2's shape . He fell in love with it . Based on the 59 Stingray race car XP87 . It was supposed to be a reverse foil and suck the car to the ground . It did not and actually got light in the front at high speed .
    I recommend you read Corvette From the Inside by Corvette Chief engineer 74-92 Dave McLellan. Lots of good info on all this stuff including Zora's time as chief engineer .
    Things like the first Corvettes were actual supposed be build using metal not fiberglass . The early 50's models had terrible fit and finish issues . It was cost and time constraints that dictated fiberglass not weight savings .

    I had a '69 427 with factory side pipes, and it also had frame holes for the standard rear exhausts. The pipes were metal, but the covers were chromed fiberglass except at the front and rear, which were chromed metal. Tires were awful 2-ply bias nylons picked by Zora Arkus Duntov for a 150mph top speed. The car never handled well until BFG came out with their Radial TAs, which transformed the car into what it always should have been in terms of handling.

    One of the more oddly optioned C2 's I ever saw, was a '67 convertible in dark metallic green with black stripe, black top and interior, 427 tri-power, posi-traction, side-pipes, and a powerglide.

    Feels like some ball joint in the steering need caring! If i remember well the C2 has a steering box not rack. If youve got play on any balljoint in the linkages after the box it behaves like what you experienced.

    With the auto it appears to be like driving a stiffly sprung 1967 Chrysler Imperial but nowadays anything from 1967 that is still around is going to be sought after by someone and should be respected.

    All the midyears 63-67 had the openings in the frame cross brace for the standard out the rear exhaust. Side pipes could be ordered for delivers past serial numbers 15000 in 1965. Information is from a Master level NCRS judge who owned a 65 Duntov award. The second one is a quasi-resto mod with nearly every option. Very honest Not sure you could get a three-speed auto without it being from a c-4 or newer.

    The reason they did away with the split rear window was because it reduced rear visibility pretty badly. The window sloped pretty much and it wasn't great seeing out the back even without the post in the center.

    In 1968 I owned a 67 white Corvette with a blue top. I bought it slightly used with about 8,000 miles. It had 0 (zero) options. That means, no radio...nothing..It was a 3-speed manual with a 300hp 327 engine. I sold it after about a year and have wondered since then if I still had it would it be worth a premium price because a Corvette with no options is very rare?

    I like to name cars. I just give cars the first name that pops into my mind when I look at it. But this car is Garry, that's what this car looks like.
    I've named plenty of cars. The Bugatti Veyron is Timmy. The Corvette C6 Z06 is Steven. The MK4 Toyota Supra is Greg. The Lexus LFA is Leela (I don't know, I look at the LFA and think, "This inanimate machine is definitely a female." It also reminds me of the Leela Chess computer for some reason. Don't ask me why, because I haven't got a damn clue).
    I could go on, but you get the point.
