      The 327 was nicknamed the "Mighty Mouse" for a good reason, 7000 RPM shifts were the Greatest thing !

    For this Vette is 56 yrs old now and she is real blast form the past and very clean to boot. American made for everything of this car and I do not understand why these car do not bring more. For I was born before the last 2 stars was put on the Flag and she should have more honor than what she is sold for. Old Master Gunnery SGT USMC.
