Thank you. It was a 4.5 year labour of love.

8.2 L - 502 c.i. engine. The original L71 427/435 is on an engine stand in my shop. The original M21 Muncie 4-speed is there too. There's a 5-speed Richmond in the car now.

Rear tires are 11.75" inch wide radials. Fronts are 10" wide. The original 7.75" x 15" tires were 6" wide. Oh, and the originals were bias-ply tyres...meaning they were equivalent to running bald tyres on an ice-covered road. Keep that in mind when reading any of the road tests from that era.

That's what hot rods and resto mods are all about: keeping the stuff you like about a vehicle, and making improvements where needed.
Great job, she is gorgeous from any direction!

Interest in this thread appears to be dying down, but here's a few more photos for those still around...

Due to suspension modifications, 67HEAVEN sits three inches lower than the '65 coupe beside it. Notice the height difference on the bumper ends.

Compared to the six inches of rubber under the '65, it's hard to tell that there's almost 12 inches of rubber under the '67, no?

The front bumper level is also three inches lower on the '67, compared to a stock '65. Normally, they'd be identical.

The roof on 67HEAVEN is actually lower than a C6 or C7.

I really want a c3 in the not, to distant future. Everybody ask what I'm going to do when I retire. Well get a c3 and make it what I want it to be. Then do a lot of car shows. ( Like I don't do that already with my truck). I definitely and a 1978 to 1982. A pace car would be ideal, but they are a little pricey compared to a non pace car. Also, I have no intention on leaving it stock. So, I do like looking at this thread. I will join a vette forum, once I get a c3, but not untill then. I like some of the mods posted here. I still have almost 4 years to work before I retire, so I have some time to look at, and think about just what I want.

Decided to join the thread after watching for a while. Almost pulled a trigger on c8, and should have. But did not. Like c2 the best, but only owned c4 and a bunch of c6s over the years. Yellow one ended being cut to pieces for parts. After the black one, changed to a viper. Then market exploded after viper was sold and not much to work with currently.

One of my favorite pics, this is the first shop I built. How on earth did I end up with 3 cars?

After building my 2nd shop in Abbeville, decided to sell the 68. Sold to a guy on CF.com for a fair price.
