Nice looking Vettes with Attitude here please

What are your headlights?

On it when I bought it
It was a 1 owner, 62k mile, 2001 Targa. Supplied new from GM Japan.
Purchased and shipped by the importer in November 2021. Arrived in the UK and registered by the importer in February 2022, then I bought it the 1st of April 2022.
I'm basically the 2nd owner of the car, but the V5 says I'm the 2nd owner because the importer registered it even though they didn't drive it.
I have absolutely tons of history with the car with some receipts I've spotted for the Borla exhaust system, chrome WORK staggered split rims and whatever else the Japanese owner has purchased for it over the 20 years of ownership... so no doubt it's probably in there somewhere?! I can check when I'm next flicking through it but its quite difficult because I can't read Japanese only some of it is in English here and there

I'll certainly try... but I can't be held responsible if we all end up with Set Meal C each instead of engine and colour codes

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it, I've been unwell the last 5 weeks... also I'm waiting on a new top PCV hose to arrive in the next week or so from Keith @ Eurovettes

For 1963, Chevrolet shifted gears and redirected its message to the expanding youth and performance market

As to the Corvair, I hated that POS. First day I had one within 3 miles in heavy snow, the ass end would just break loose
causing multi spins and having to dig it out of snow banks both times

It has a period charm James but you wouldn't hear much from it. I've found one station on mine - I can't remember which - but it's rarely on - the great sound from behind would drown it out anyway....

I seem to recall the output is about 1.2 watts.....!

They are about James, you’ve just go to keep looking. Getting a bit expensive now as people do like the original look. Once bought forever enjoyed.

 

[James Vette]

Yeah I guess they are useless these days but look cool.

You can of course get them upgraded inside, keeping the period look but with modern insides. Done that a few times over the years.
