About this Previous Vehicle:

1968-72 Corvettes are some of my favorites ever built. Most people refer to them as the "metal bumper Stingrays" in that era. These were the last of the Corvettes that still had some balls under the hood, prior to the mid-70's anemic V8 engine era and crash-test plastic bumpers.

Factory Options:

This one started life as a light green car, but someone else agreed that it looks better in black.

Exterior Modifications:

Cloth convertible top, instead of the original vinyl material.
Side pipes!

Interior Modifications:

Nordskog digital LED gauges (all)

Performance:

Edelbrock dual 4-barrel intake, 'air gap' style. Dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carbs
Hooker longtube headers and side pipes, Jet Hot coated
Mild camshaft
MSD electronic ignition
BeCool aluminum radiator with electric fan

Electric water pump
Electric vacuum pump for brakes

Suspension/Chassis:

Composite rear leaf spring

Very nice. I'm interested to see your wheel selection, if any, on this car.
