Re: 69 Corvette Question

Let me put him in a 68 BB Corvette at a reasonable price. I've got an idea for another car that I'd like to try. Might even trade for his street car.

and I'm sure dad would keep the car over me if given a choice. I'm sure for a lot of years the car was cheaper. And yes, it is a real 427/435 4 speed car. Only original parts dad doesn't still have is the trans case. Dad broke it back before i was born, and no one cared about numbers back then.

the 435 3x2 combo is tough, the rectangle port intake is worse than the oval port intake. No matter what we have tried, it seems to be a bit slow to 330', it does however run very well from 1000' to the stripe. It would be a better combo with a stick for sure.

Like Jimmy and Alan said. Craig's car is an awesome piece with no expense spared. Low 9.70s at GMP three years ago. It has a fresh motor and trans. and sitting in the garage mahal on a big powder puff ready to go. --------
