What I love about the car: It's a '65. Great size engine & size-to-horsepower ratio. Very nice restoration. Personal turn-offs: Side pipes. Black color (too hot in the summer). I wish it was a convertible. All in all, an 8.5 or 9 out of 10.
I guess if you’re gonna worry about that kind of stuff… I don’t let that stuff bother me. I try not to get them but it is impossible to not get a little chip here and there if you drive the cars
@@tvtommy7268 and the color doesn’t matter they all chip… black is prolly the easiest one to fix or touch up and make it not as noticeable. If I was a guy worried about getting a chip or little scratch on it then the car would have to live in my garage or living room in a bubble. They are old cars meant to be drove and enjoyed… I restore them to better than new condition and new base/clear paint is more durable then old lacquer paint. But on a car I restore the underside is just as nice as the top side so it is definitely hard to drive them then and not worry about it but it can all be cleaned up at anytime. We powder coat the frame and all the components we can… and when I clean the floors off to bare natural fiberglass I actually clear coat them so they have some protection for years to come
Incredibly beautiful. Black on red...wow, absolutely stunning.
I miss my Dad's '66 😢, and my Dad.
NICE!!! The Coupes are the best looking in this generation Corvette.
Beautiful car! I have a red/red 396/425 convertible. 1965s always catch my eye!

Had the same car in Glen Green w/ white droptop & 327/365 hp w/factory side pipes. Fast & sweet!

Is it terrifying to drive a black car and worry about rock chips and such?
