My favorite color on a '67....and it's a coupe to boot. Absolutely killer car. Well done, and good luck with the clean-up!!

I'm not going to swap it out. I have said this car is "my last antique", but there are a few exceptions. Also, I think the car has enough original stuff on it that someone COULD bring it back to Top Flight condition if they wanted to spend the money on it, the main reason being that I think the drivetrain is essentially untouched since new.

Add to that the fact that I told my wife I was thinking of selling it, and buying a C8, and she had no conceptual problem with that.

Yep. But most of those great guys have been banned permanently, although a couple have passed on. They just banned Tom Parsons, (DZAUTO) a C1 and driveline guru, for over a month over an engine discussion. The moderators there are low class, power-drunk punks who aren't worthy to shine Tom's boots.

What sort of number would move your Corvette from your garage to mine? And does it have tilt?

My fave body style. When you look at other cars of the same time period nothing else compares. Congrats!

Nice score. Maybe you can make a video for us after it's cleaned up? I'd love to hear it purr.
