Getting more old American cars here would be very nice, a first gen Viper or C4 ZR1 would be cool to see

@Justin_GFM Год назад

@Brian Lee No lol, usually every time a special Corvette model is named, the generation precedes the model just like C4 ZR1, C5 Z06, C6 Z06/ZR1, and so on

@Tattletale-Delta Год назад

@Brian Lee You are literally the first person I've ever heard of use that naming convention.

@Philmoscowitz Год назад

That tach is all over the place! Lol.

@SerPurple51 Год назад

The cable for the tach probably has too much slack.

I've driven many mid years they all do it

@zachj2k248 9 месяцев назад

Most of them do because of the age. I've riden in a '66 327 4 speed with laker pipes but it was red. The tach was everywhere.

@SerPurple51 Год назад

My favorite generation of Corvette. The 67 coupe is my personal favorite, and an American icon. Such a beautiful car all around. And bonus points for being a 4 speed!

@falseprophetmohammedisacul3532 Год назад

Stingray my favorite, this generation corvette is the only one I like or will ever drive n own I like both classic and one with aftermarket wheels n more mods

The RPM gauge is on drugs and I love it

Mechanically driven, but off the distributor. They will dance.

@540chevhell9 Год назад

Love the 327's they have a unique sound unlike almost all of the Chevy small blocks.

@frankjacoby9460 6 месяцев назад

I love the sound of the pipes, very good driving, knows how to blip the throttle to down shift; experience driving a standard trans is evident. Very nice car. I own a small block numbers matching 1964 coupe red interior and ermine white body. Four speed Muncie with 3:08 positrac with 32K on the clock. Oh and factory a/c.

@davidcasas3862 Год назад

Who needs the radio with the exhaust song of this beast? I can drive 500 miles listening this....good video!! 👍🏼👍🏼

@NABAS777 Год назад

People always talk about the 427’s, which are great, but this motor is such a great match for this chassis, makes for a wonderful driving experience

@dgiorgi2001 7 месяцев назад

Weight of the c2 were not so light at approximately 3360 lbs but that L79 made it seems light. These cars were such a pleasure to drive more so that the Big Block where you could feel the weight. The L79 was the best option on the C2’s in my opinion and I would take it over the BB any day. I really like how you shot this video showing the gauges and shifting instead of the road. Nice car I like how they did the two tone interior , nice touch, THX.

@trailerparkcryptoking5213 5 месяцев назад

L79 in the 66/67 Chevy II was a great combination!

Im loving these old car videos bro takes binaural to the next level

@sidefx996 11 месяцев назад

Hood is obviously gorgeous but it's a '67 427 hood and doesn't belong. Stunning car though. Fantastic engine. Sounds delicious and is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I could die happy in that car haha.

@rocketscience777999 9 месяцев назад

I never saw that gorgeous hood on a small block before but they claim the car is all original in the video. The owner probably was told its original when he bought the car and passed along that info to the guys in the video. Its sad to see what GM and Chevrolet did in the 1960's versus what thay are making toay.

@ag6371 Год назад

One of the best generations of Corvettes

@okaufmac Год назад

Stellar. I got a chance to drive a navy blue '65 with side pipes a while back before he sold it. Ever since, I've always wanted to hear the sounds of that car again, and this is nearly it. It was a pleasure watching this.

So awesome to see you in more classics. Would love to see a Chevelle or Galaxie to name a couple

@Spooky1862 6 месяцев назад

This one actually has a 1967 Corvette big block hood. Swapping it out for a ‘66 327 hood is the only change I’d make if it were mine. Apart from that, everything looks correct for the year. Superb car-thanks for the video!!!

@davidgrisez 6 месяцев назад

In these RU-vid videos of these classic Corvettes it is interesting to watch the needle on the totally mechanical tachometer swing up and down with sudden changes in engine RPM. With today's electronic tachometers you do not see any of these up and down swings of the tachometer.

wish we had more modern cars take inspiration from their heritage, i love the c8 but wish it did more homage to its predecessors

@bobow4075 Год назад

In terms of looks? Have to disagree. Safety regulation gets in the way of making the car actually look good

for the new c8 they copied ferrari 488 . instead of making unique american design like they use to

@garysarnowski3113 Год назад

Remember reading Zora liked this engine combined with the M20 wide ratio transmission for the street. Big block gave too much heat into the passenger compartment. Great classic color combination. Beautiful car?

@bobthbldr3 Год назад

If I remember correctly the early models with the knockoff wheels came from the factory with a brass hammer. That L79 350 hp 327 was an awesome engine! Hydraulic lifters made it easy to keep tuned and it was a stormer in the lightweight Corvettes and Chevy ll's. Those were the only models that engine was available in.

@alangiolma4278 10 месяцев назад

Lead hammer.

Looks and sounds really good, Interior looks better than most of the modern cars, And the owner kept the car very clean unlike many other disgusting people that treat their new cars like rentals. Does it feel like driving a boat?, A downside for this car is mostly the safety, It needs to be taken care of closely and be driven at weekends....

@thearousedeunuch Год назад

This thing looks and sounds great. Cars like these will be missed when EVs are the norm. Regarding the video: it was really lackluster from the binaural audio standpoint. No start-up from inside the cabin, we didn't get to listen to the sound of all the buttons and knobs on the center console, etc.

First off wrong master cylinder should be dual circuit specific to 65 & 66 otherwise good ride along

@DaveGringo Год назад

You don't know what you're talking about. I had a 66 all original, it was single for Corvette then. Unlike many other Chevy's of the period. 67 Corvette had the dual... I was thinking of changing mine to a 67 setup for safety and power assist.

@bbb462cid Год назад

Absolutely has a synchronized transmission from the factory. This would be a Muncie, an M20, M21, or M22. All are synchromesh.

@dennis885600 Год назад

These cars have had synchronized transmissions for a looong time. In the 50’s only 1st gear was not synchronized and they had synchronized gearboxes already in the 30’s
