In my opinion, the C2 body was absolutely the most beautiful of Corvette bodies and a proper fender flare somehow sends it over the top!

Easily one of the nicest Corvettes in the world.

I built a 1964 coup Black with a 550 HP 327 and a manual 6 spd all high performance suspension, big disc brakes, lowered with knock off wheels and leather. Only body mod is a big block hood. Runs 11’s in the quarter on street tires. I’ve owned it since 1983. Mid year Corvettes are one of the most beautiful cars ever created. I will be buried with this car.

This car is a masterpiece. It should be considered in the top 10 custom cars ever made. It's simple and maintains much of the original look.

this vette isnt just a car. shes beautiful, not just "wow this car is sexy" its one of those cars that makes you smile just looking at it, kinda like that smile a man gives his wife hes deeply in love with. i could come home from work after a bad day, fire this car up and all problems go out the window. BRAVO. what an amazing machine..

There are no words to properly express my admiration towards what this car represents. It's one of the finest American made cars I've ever seen, at any price. Although it's a bit sacrilegious to take a classic and resto-mod it, it is also exactly what I'd want to do if I bought myself a C2 Corvette. True automotive perfection! 😀

Your family's Vette is awesome. You have a car thousands of others want, but can't get at a reasonable price. You are very lucky and I love how you kept the car. It's awesome!

I come back to this video every month just to see it and hear it in action. Truthfully amazing

The beauty in any car, particularly this Corvette, is not only how it physically looks but the bond it shares with it's owner. Never sell something that is dear to you. Money will always come and go. This car's value is more than just a price tag, it's a generation of memories.

Beautiful car man! Don't ever sell it. Pass it on as a family heirloom! Think about the epicness about having a car in the family for 500 years!

I bought a piece of land a few years ago and it had a '67 Sting Ray on it, in need of restoration. I tried to get them to include it on the deal. They said no and they towed it away. Well, the dummies were hauling it up a gravel road and it came loose off the trailer, rolled downhill, slamming rear end first into an oak tree. Spit the back in two and it's trashed. Dummies! God, people are stupid.

I love stories like this, a car kept in the family for all those years, having 3 generations racing it together, it's such an amazing bonding experience.

This is the car of my dreams. Damm this car is amazing.

Prolly one of the few American cars we could get away with in Europe - SCALE ! I love American muscle cars but they`re just so dam huge.Driving them on European roads(Ireland) would get you hung or battered.That Stingray is just so dam gorgeous and has the right dimensions. I imagine many garages worldwide have spaces being cleared out as we speak.. by fellow dreamers and brethren of the henpeck.

It has been said before but I will say again the flares are PERFECT!

Definitely the best looking fender flares I've seen on a Stingray. Beautiful ride.

love the old sting rays - they are timeless classics and the only vettes I actually like a lot. I like what this guy did to the car. Made it modern but kept it old school. I wish chevy/ford would take a page from his book and bring back an original old body style instead of going retro/modern. But that will never happen so I guess that's why we have to rebuild the classics.

I don't even like vettes, but this is freaking nice.

It's art meeting engineering....a truly beautiful machine. I'm glad people are making things like this....

I know this is an old video, but this car reduced me to tears. I drive an Audi A6, a great car in its own right. I'm a muscle car guy at heart, and this is my dream car. I'm pretty sure this Vette is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, the noise is among the most beautiful things I've ever heard (apart from machine gun live at the Fillmore). Thank you, for keeping this whimsical beast of a machine alive all these years, and for driving it how it was meant to be driven.

Very very nice car, i only change the rear wing the rest of car is perfect! REAL MUSCLE CAR

Can't tell you how much it bugs me hearing guys who have these beautiful cars that have been in the family 30 or 40 years that they've poured their heart, soul, and wallet into say "eh, if the right offer came along..."
