I got to drive my buddy's dad's mint original unrestored 63 327 FI split window. That was a nice car. Too bad some idiot tboned it and ruined it a few years ago. He did get another original 63 split window in silver to replace it from insurance, but the "new" one is nowhere near as nice and has spider cracks all over.

He has a 65 convertible in blue which is just like the orange one in the first pic too.

Neat cars, but he barely ever drives them. Too bad that the red 63 got totalled.   That happened on my friends younger brother's wedding day.

Let the girl go or the car go?


I think about the car more than the girl so that tells you something!

Wow, 4 years before it was introduced? He must have known someone at GM.

A friend of mine has a few CLEAN '65's... a 327 coupe and a 427 roadster. Beautiful cars.

66 RED
62 upside down

Kapla was right.

The 66-EDIT 62 was bought new in 62. It's on it's 3rd owner, but all 3 live within 4 houses of each other. Same street.

3 bays with 2 frame off restorations going on, the 1 Red one that won 1st place in The Good Guys Show in Charlotte,NC a month or so ago,maybe two. A paint booth with one in it. The one outside, upside down, then the 2 beside that GMC Envoy. 3 on the side of building ,covered and waiting on Restorations, and about 30 or so 'Parts' Cars in the rear. Some of those, I'd say at least 15 of them could be bought and 'Driven' home to restore.
