Racing at the airstrip, The old 'vette was channeling it's inner P-51, complete with the iconic whistle...

Gotta love it! I have owned a mainly stock 1967 Corvette Sting Ray L71 427/435 HP for almost 50 year. It's a rag-top and yellow and mainly stock. It was my first major purchase after coming hone from Viet Nam. I've currently still with 5 specialty cars I bought between '72 and '87. My '67 427/435 is by far my favorite. I paid around 6 grand for it, which now sounds ludicrous. I bought around a year later a '70 Pontiac GTO Judge w/400 and paid only $2,500 at a auction I ran a car though. I like driving it during the mild winters we get with the top down. It's prone to fish-tailings but has really tight steering and sweey ride. My Vette is my favorite and I've owned many awesome cars in my collecting period from the early 70's through the late 80's when I bought a '87 twin turbo 911/930 Porsche w/505 slantnose option. I thank my 1st love my wife of 50 years for allowing me this 1 vice. I guess, she'll reap the rewards from it!

Man you're right! Many consider the '67 the pinnacle of design and power. The best examples routinely go for over $1m US. Some of those upwards of $3.5m US. When released in '67, a new Corvette with the highly coveted L88 factory stock engine, attained over 170mph(273kph) during the 24 Hours of LeMans on the Mulsanne Straight! Going that fast, in 1967! That's faster than Mario Andretti's pole speed in the '67 Indianapolis 500! Here in the US, growing up in the 60s and driving in the 70s, seemingly there were these monstrously powerful muscle cars nearly at every light you'd pull up to. Good handling/braking? ... not so much. The Vette was an exception, 4 wheel discs, independent rear suspension, it handled better than most of it's US contemporaries. My first car was a '67 Mustang. Wow, just thinking back, great memories for sure. Back to the video, damn that engine sound is lovely!

This mans kids are fortunate and I'm confident they will never forget their project car and even more so, working on it as a family.

Not only fast but also the most beautiful and best sounding unit out there. Love it!

Wheels, tires, and stance are perfect.
