This one been posted yet?

 

If I remember correctly that was in the Seattle area.

 

YES

 

must be where all the vette engines we have in our rides came from

 

I have a corvette confession! Lol. I like stock corvettes! I think they are just a beautiful car. With that being said early g***er corvettes are not favorite (stock and m/p yes just not g***er) but an early corvette vette set up for turns to me just looks like the ultimate drive home from work car!!!!!

new vete (55) getting a ford 3spd conversion to toss the PG

 

That's crazy. Why would anyone put a Ford top loader into anything besides a Ford ch***is? I could see using a Cad or Buick 3spd, but not the Ford. Are you sure that Stovebolt made it's way back into a Vette?

 

first couple years they had stovebolts with PGs. Supposedly the new 265s with optional 3spd manual showed up as Chevy used up the remaining 235s and PGs
not the best performance combo
the story on this one is the owner got tired of being beat by a friend with a T-bird

Hah! I bet after the top loader swap he got tired of calling the tow truck to pull him home because of a shelled ******.

 

I bet it handled the 150hp of the stovebolt
I will say that Im impressed the stovevolt and PG held its own with the V8 bird

 

There were very few 1955 Corvettes built with the inline Blue Flame six engines. 1955 being the first year for the 265 V8 the vast majority of the 700 Corvettes built for that model year were V8s . There were also a few 3 speed manual transmission cars produced.

 

This guy is “hot roding” a rare one
Very cool

 

The book says SIX with a 6 cylinder.

 

That's a lot of sadness. Makes you want to go out to the garage and tell yours that you love it.

Went to visit a shop a few of my students work at this evening
The owner of the shop has a couple of vettes. This was sitting on his tool box.

 

15, I understand. A fella in an apartment I lived in in the late '60's had one. I asked him one time, if he were to sell it, what would he want? He sneered at me & said "You couldn't afford it, boy, $2,700." I guess he was right. My rent was $60. Everything was & still is relative.

 

I take back what I said about early corvette g***ers! [emoji1303]

Dammit Enloe, how are we gonna enjoy seeing that neat Corvette if you're always deleting your photos!
Maybe there's a camera lens filter for removing just the late models!

 

My uncles 64, it started out as a 365hp car then was swapped out for a dual quad 327, the quads where the original set from Dad’s 57. The 365hp went into Dad’s 57 then my 60 vette.@enloe

 

Very Cool
