Default Re: Opinions on this 64 vette for a buddy overseas

I think it is a great looking day 2 style car (fwiw-I LOVE THE STRIPE)

Some cars are just cars and not holy objects

IF the condition of the frame and body check out I don't think he can go wrong with it at the price it is, everything SEEMS to be pretty nice from the pictures, hard to tell what the reserve is though ...

it also has 63 wheel covers, pretty sure one could trade those for a set of 64's if they liked, but I am thinking this car needs some Torque Thrusts to complete the look

not everybody cares if the hose clamps are correct and aligned at the exact angle

you can actually have MORE fun with a "day 2" car than with an exact replica of what the car was supposed to be when it was born

go back in time and look at all the 63 split windows that had the split taken out so they could look like the "new" 64's ... and all the 63's and 64's that had 67 gills grafted onto them to make them look "current"

an improved shifter and a tasteful stripe should not scare anyone away from what otherwise LOOKS like a nice car
