Very nice!
I stopped to look at a '65 GTO for sale yesterday... It was a wall-hanger. .

I really miss my 67 Vette. Probably the finest car I ever owned.

Flames were all the rage, back in the 70s. Bought that way, and was a pretty cool look, for a while.
Being a car painter, I eventually changed the color to "Indian Fire Red", with a polyurethane material called Sunfire Urethane. At the same time, I swapped out the 300 HP 327, for a built 350. I started out wanting to duplicate the venerable LT-1, but got a little carried away. Took a low mileage 4 bolt main 350 apart, balanced and blue-printed, with a Hi-Flow 1-H cam, degreed as part of the blueprint, Holley Street Dominator intake manifold, Holley 650 Double pumper, and Hooker Street Competition headers. The icing on the cake was a 100 HP nitrous kit, only to be used in emergencies ; ) This car was wicked-fast, and a lot of fun to drive. |

Last year my friend who had sold his red 63 Split-window that I had helped him get correct parts and make nearly 100% had to find another one. He asked me to help him at Carlisle. I know a little about mid-years, not much about straight axles and later ones so I spent three days walking around looking for the right car. He slept OK at nights but I could not sleep thinking of all the cars we had examined. Here is his '67 that I found to be the best car and buy there. White, bright blue interior, blue top, 327-300 with the correct Winters Foundry aluminum 350 HP intake on it and bolt on wheels. Four speed with the 336 posi rear, great cruising combo with the dealer installed luggage rack. Perfect exterior and interior.
