Just one picture of dads vette he picked up. It's getting all redone and for a 48 year old car it's in great shape. It will be on the road begining of summer as this will be no race car but I'll convince him to come race me at the track.  |

Looks like a 62. I love these as well. Very very cool car. It would be even cooler with a straight axle under the front and a blower sticking out of the hood!

This one will be put back to factory spec for sure. Long story short, dad bought a new vette in 62.... Ended up selling it and has regretted it ever since. He never thought he'd own another but between my brother and I we convinced him to get it.
He's been working on it every night since in the garage and has made a ton of progress. Being 70 years old and working ten hours a day he has still put in a ton of time on it. He's like a little kid while working on it, such a great thing!!

Does any one remember Bill tolbies 62 fastest street legal vett in alaska at the time. It was the same color as this one. I worked on one in the early 90s they were harder to work on than a lot of cars of the era. Very cool car.

It's an original fueli car... no longer has the fuel injection and it's huge bucks to source everything. First plans are to get the chrome redone, paint it, redo the interior, and a few minor mechanical problems. Once all that's done we will look into getting the fuel injecting stuff and possibly a numbers matching block. Right now it has a 64 block in it but looks like the correct heads. This will be a driver but a very nice show quality one. I'm sure he will take it to all the car shows he can!! |

Cut it up, and put a BIG motor in it Dad would kill whoever did that and it wouldn't be fast either!! It's going to be a sick driver!! He will bring it out to the track quite a bit I'm sure. Tim |
