VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

Beer o'clock. You beauty!

 

Picture from Europe...

 

Interesting front suspesion setup. Is that coils on end of transverse semi elliptic;shocks maybe?

 

Haha...love it! Got the bucket ready down there to scoop him up.

 

Judging by the number of suitcases, his wife is obviously coming along!

 

OK, lets review. I see disc brakes. Started in "65'. The Corvette ahead isn't a "67", no reverse light above license plate area. Looks like aluminum intake. If "65" it could be 350 hp. I'm not sure if you could a 365 hp in "65". The start of American Racing "D" spoke wheels to fit over disc brakes. Any comments or corrections?

 

Dinner.

 

Pretty sure the 365 hp 327 got the same L-79 aluminum intake manifold.... I could be wrong...

 

He always seemed to a nice quiet neighbor, who knew....

 

I think it a 1965 based on the corvette emblem on the rear of the corvette ahead on the line 1966 emblem had a bigger C. It is a big hp engine.

 

Is there a chance this was an available dealer option. The trunk panel to the right of the spare seems to be a close color match ?.

 

And judging by the colors, we might guess which suitcases were hers.

 

Must be Washington DC for the privileged!

 

Bingo! It's a '65. Both the 350hp and 365hp were available in '65.
