Hi peeps..Whilst i was outside yesterday tinkering with bits on the car one of my neighbours came up to me and asked if i wanted another project..Its a silver blue LHD 1963 corvette stingray convertible with a 327cu in 6.0ltr engine..It needs a few little bits doing to it and he hasnt looked at it for a year..He is asking £2-2,500..In mint they are worth £30,000+...I might just go and have a look at it and get some pics...Hes not in any real rush to sell and its stored in a garage..Might be worth a look..Cheers..Ziga

Grab it Zig.

If you don't I bagsey seconds.

I had a 68 Camaro convertible with a 327 lump.

327 = 5.3L BTW not 6.0.

The 327 is heavy being all iron so will not aid handling at all in your wedge.

My opinion is don't go there.

I had a friend with a 1970 vette, the last model with chrome bumpers.

He personally rebuilt it from the chassis up, with new bushes, shocks, springs etc.

End result is that it still handled like a 1970 vette.

My Camaro was the same. In anything other than a strait line it would not inspire confidence.

Please keep me posted on the Vette.

OR I'll go halves with you.
