Features Corvette hot rods - picture thread

Identical to the one I owned back in the early 70's. I had to sell it in 78' when my 3rd daughter was born! Maybe I should have made the trunk into a rumble seat! That is one car I would like to have back.

 

Beautiful car. The rumble seat would have been a great idea

 

That very well could be my ole 61' Vette but I have no way to verify because I never kept a record of the Vin number. The last I heard the car was sold to someone that lived north of Chicago.

 

Like many others we had the experience of getting beat at Indy Class Eliminations by this car in 1969.

Without jack stands he could well have taken a permanent nap!

 

That was one Badass 61" Vette!

 

I was at Simeone Museum where George spoke of his years driving for Penske. He said not buying this car himself is his biggest regret.

 

doing the poor man's line loc maybe?

 

Same car, years apart.

 

This one looked familiar to me...

 

I think he's saying "I forgot these foreign cars don't use metric fasteners".

 

I heard old Vettes don’t have much leg room. So ya gotta have a short girlfriend too?
