Corvette Stingray

Oh.

It only came in a two-door?

Not very family friendly.
 
I had a bad case of the "Chevrolet Performance Bug" in elementary school. Fortunately I was over it by the time I was in middle school in 1971.

The 1969 Corvette ZL-1 is an example of what I mean.

The ZL-1 refers to a race track variant of the 427 V8 engine with an aluminum block. The standard 427 V8 (the L88) has a cast iron engine block.
Of the 94 race engines built, only 2 were sold installed in a Corvettes to customers. Today, only 1 exists but it has no documentation that it came from the facory equipped as a "ZL-1" Corvette.

Problem is - there never was a "ZL-1" option package. There's no ZL-1 badging, no official build sheet, no Chevrolet dealer documentation verifying the factory specs. The Corvette ZL-1 is a parts bin car created by taking a standard Corvette and swapping special parts as a "one-off" special assembly. It was common for customers to use the Central Office Production Order, (COPO), program to swap engines, transmissions, axle ratios, to construct a race car one part at a time.

I fell out of love with Chevrolet because anyone can take an old Corvette, throw a race engine under the hood, and call it a one-of-a-kind special Corvette. But with out a dealer order sheet or a factory build sheet as proof - all you really have is a "chop-shop" car and a guy with a cool story.

A friend of mine has a 72 Corvette in that blue. He took me for a ride one day on a desolate road and scared the bejeezus out of me.

Nice cars. :)
 
When I was probably late elementary school, the son a neighbor got a Corvette. His previous car had been some old car--early 50s at the latest--which had been his high school car. The one memory I have of that old car--and very vague--was the day we were at the gas station at the same time he was, and watching him carefully wipe the paint off around the gas cap.

Interesting contrast going from something old to something fairly current.

I'm not sure about this--but a quick search suggests that his Corvette might have been the same generation as this one, although possibly newer.
 
Personally, I've had my fill of Chevy custom build stories.

Someone's uncle has a 1968 Chevelle with a 550 hp V8 engine, with a Hurst shifter and a Positraction rear axle.
I've heard Chevrolet parts bin "mix 'n match" stories going back to 1965.
Anyone can buy any powerplant they want and any engine shop will install it, but a documented factory custom build, without proof, is just a wet dream.
 
Well, one of my cousins was scattered across the field in bits when his Stingray left the road in 1974.

Closed casket by the way.
 
What?

You guys got no friends?

In the comics, Archie, Jughead, Betty & Veronica all rode together in that convertible.

Just sayin' . . .
 
Frankly, based on my experience of the last 30-some years, all I really need is a single passenger seat. And most of the time, that has been empty. The last time I had more than one extra passenger was I was a teenager, when my grandmother visited us.

Although back seats are wonderful places to pile junk, so I guess they haven't been totally without use in the years since.
