1967 road racer

[patoke]

I obviously can't stay away. I sold my 69 track/street car about 6 months ago while I was starting a new business. I still have a 68 track car waiting to be finished but I stumbled across this 67 that I had to buy. We will make some changes but mostly cosmetic.

Looks like fun Pat! Dang that car has had a little bit of a makeover. :D

Need more pictures! That's the direction I am going with my 69 Firebird.

Vince, what's the story with the car? Somebody spent a fair amount of money on it. The belts are from 1997 and so is the engine block. It has all C5 corvette underpinnings and 97 was the first year of the C5. I wonder if it was built then. If so, that must of cost a ton since the c5 was brand new and whoever built it was pretty ahead of their time.

More pics

[Che70velle]

Pat, are the pics taken at your place? Will this car be put up, or raced?
That should be a LOT of fun on a track! Nice purchase!

[patoke]

Scott, these pictures were taken by the place whom I bought the car from. We finally have some much needed rain this weekend so I'm waiting until tomorrow to pick it up. No side windows and slicks aren't the most fun for highway driving in the rain :bang:

It will definitely we go onto the track. Far more than the street I would guess.

That was Gary Guthries car. Gary was tragically killed riding a quad that flipped and broke his neck. At a track event one year he had brought a teenage kid that was fighting cancer. He rented him a Nissan 350Z at the airport and let the kid have a ball with it. I miss Gary.

Wow, that is tragic. I almost did the same thing my first time at Pismo. He sounds like he was a great guy so I'll gladly take care of his car.

Sad.... It's sad when we mess up doing what we all so like to do.... Very cool story about the rental car! Gotta love a guy like that.

I haven't posted about this car in a long time but I still have it. It has changed a little since I bought it though. It now has a Mast Motorsports LS7 and PPG sequential gear box in it plus it is now white.

[Flash68]

Looks great Pat.

How is the exhaust routed? Got any pics?

[DBasher]

I liked it in yellow, I absolutely love it in white!

Big wing, big tires, aero, LS7, sequential....what a great combo.

:flag2::thumbsup:

[gnx7]

I like it in white! Great looking setup.

Love the updates...... would love to check out the transmission sometime.

White or yellow looks like a blast to drive!
