Nice looking Vettes with Attitude here please

350ci is enough for a classic car. I'm glad luna replicas are restoring it because it's a nasty heap at the moment.

It’s not a case of being enough, American cars traditionally had a very large engine option list. As fuel was always cheap lots of buyers thought bigger is better. The larger displacement engines make them very desirable nowadays, and command a premium over their smaller siblings in all manner of cars from Corvettes to 4 door sedans.
Bragging rights were always there as well.

Of course mine is fairly large (not as large perhaps as I would have liked) but not used too often these days.....?

The great thing about early corvettes is that everything is reproduced to turn your car into new. The only downside is Corvette restoration parts are some of if not the most expensive about. Especially interior items.

@Nassau65 well I was thinking of having it re-dyed because the red has faded.

Anything with a 427 could be classed as having ‘ attitude “
Here’s Astronaut Alan Shepherd’s 1968 convertible.

@Nassau65 no custom paint.

 

[Nassau65]

Custom paint was only applied to two sets of crew cars. Vertically all astronauts drove standard corvettes. The first painted set were the gold/black ones, all three the same, the 2nd set were the individual red, white and blue cars, with stripes.

Alan Shepard rose to the rank of rear Admiral in the USN. His daughter has also been in space.
He is also shown in the opening sequence of the Star Trek series “enterprise”
