    In my opinion, the C2 body was absolutely the most beautiful of Corvette bodies and a proper fender flare somehow sends it over the top!

    I built a 1964 coup Black with a 550 HP 327 and a manual 6 spd all high performance suspension, big disc brakes, lowered with knock off wheels and leather. Only body mod is a big block hood. Runs 11’s in the quarter on street tires. I’ve owned it since 1983. Mid year Corvettes are one of the most beautiful cars ever created. I will be buried with this car.

    1963 through 1967 Corvette Coupes have to still be one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. Like the video said, to be produced on an assembly line in Detroit instead of some high end Italian manufacturer is a miracle in itself. Great video and thanks for sharing!

    The beauty in any car, particularly this Corvette, is not only how it physically looks but the bond it shares with it's owner. Never sell something that is dear to you. Money will always come and go. This car's value is more than just a price tag, it's a generation of memories.

  • @wsbill14224
    @wsbill14224 11 років тому +6

  • @stevetheodore_specialtycars
    @stevetheodore_specialtycars 4 роки тому +3

    There are no words to properly express my admiration towards what this car represents. It's one of the finest American made cars I've ever seen, at any price. Although it's a bit sacrilegious to take a classic and resto-mod it, it is also exactly what I'd want to do if I bought myself a C2 Corvette. True automotive perfection! 😀

    I bought a piece of land a few years ago and it had a '67 Sting Ray on it, in need of restoration. I tried to get them to include it on the deal. They said no and they towed it away. Well, the dummies were hauling it up a gravel road and it came loose off the trailer, rolled downhill, slamming rear end first into an oak tree. Spit the back in two and it's trashed. Dummies! God, people are stupid.

    • @SamnissArandeen
      @SamnissArandeen 10 років тому +18

      If you'd already bought the land, as far as I'm concerned, they left the car on the land. It was your car. Shoulda sued them for the damage.

    This thing is way more attractive to me than a C8. And at 500hp it probably can rumble with a stock C8. There is nothing like that hood and front mounted motor. The wheels the flares, superior job. Best looking Vette I can remember.

    love the old sting rays - they are timeless classics and the only vettes I actually like a lot. I like what this guy did to the car. Made it modern but kept it old school. I wish chevy/ford would take a page from his book and bring back an original old body style instead of going retro/modern. But that will never happen so I guess that's why we have to rebuild the classics.

I'm pretty sure this Vette is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, the noise is among the most beautiful things I've ever heard (apart from machine gun live at the Fillmore). Thank you, for keeping this whimsical beast of a machine alive all these years, and for driving it how it was meant to be driven.

Thank you for taking care of this car. Thank you for letting /DRIVE make this video. And oddly enough, thank you for keeping it in the family. You and your family are wonderful and I hope to one day have a car that I can pass down in my family.

  • @thelaborpeasant
    @thelaborpeasant 8 років тому +7

    THANK YOU for saying you could never sell it because of its massive sentimental value. I love that. Can't tell you how much it bugs me hearing guys who have these beautiful cars that have been in the family 30 or 40 years that they've poured their heart, soul, and wallet into say "eh, if the right offer came along..." NO! There is no right offer for that. It's a family heirloom. Get your head out of capitalism for just a split second and understand that some things have more value than money can provide. There's more to life than dollar amounts

    • @EpiphanyOne2
      @EpiphanyOne2 8 років тому

    • @totrodder97
      @totrodder97 8 років тому

      Well said! My Grandads first car was a 1961 Vauxhall Victor F Type and he drove it everywhere, when momey was tight he was forced to sell it, 10 years later he bought it back when he could afford it, then when my dad was old enough to drive he passed the car down to my dad as his first car and he drove it up until 1997 when i was born and was forced to take it off the road in the garage as it had engine problems, a few years ago my dad passed that car down to me for my first car, i have since fixed the engine problems and now working on completely restoring it to its former glory :) and that car i shall never sell, it shall be passed down to my future kids etc

    • @thelaborpeasant
      @thelaborpeasant 8 років тому +3

      +Darryl Williams That's awesome. I wish I had a family heirloom car like that. That's one of the reasons I take stories like this so personally when people put a price on them. I'm like "I'd just love to have something like that, here you are contemplating pissing yours away for a couple bucks" sad

    • @totrodder97
      @totrodder97 8 років тому

      Exactly! somebody could offer me a million for it and as much as i'd like to have a million i couldnt bare to part with it unless it was going to my kids. When my dad gave me the keys he said "just promise me that if you ever think of selling it i will gladly take it back off your hands and give it to one of your sisters haha". My Grandmother has done the exact same thing with her wedding ring, My grandad originally sold the car to buy that wedding ring so she knows how much she meant to him. she passed the ring down to her daughter and her daughter passed it to her granddaughter.

      Technically, the new Jester resembles the new Acura NSX concept. but yeah the previous NSX would be very nice.

  • @Wildchildinc
    @Wildchildinc 10 років тому +63

    The new stingray doesn't even look like a stringray imo... The concept design that they had looked more like stringray than the one they are producing. The production model looks more like a wannabe viper front with a camaro back

    • @noahr8670
      @noahr8670 10 років тому +7

      are you kidding? other than the tail lights, you can see a strong resemblance to the 77+ stingrays

    • @noahr8670
      @noahr8670 10 років тому +1

      and ps, camaro has half circle tail lights while the stingray has square/diamond tail lights. nothing like the camaro

    • @Wildchildinc
      @Wildchildinc 10 років тому +2

      the curves of a 77 stingray a little bit. The taillight still resemble to much of camaro imo. When I saw the concept of the stringray I personally thought that looked my like futuristic version of the stringray than anything.

    • @noahr8670
      @noahr8670 10 років тому +1

      CrushedJustice Yea, well they can't make them identical. It took me a while to get used to the tail lights but I think they suit this model best. Hopefully, they go back to round tail lights in a couple years. Then again, who am i to speak on what they should do, I can't afford one lol

    Love this big muscle segment! I respect all restored or modified classics and anyone who can give them tlc but for nice to see people actually believing big muscle can handle with just some tuning. I know a few italian car guys who think their cars own the twisties. I'm specifically modding my '70 challenger to try and prove them wrong.

      Very true, people always confuse them for muscle cars when in fact they are not and never have been. They've been a sports car since day one and were created to compete against European sports cars. The muscle car movement was after its inception and that role went to the Camaro, not the Corvette.
