 I took it apart in 1983  mostly because I had a 65 Coupe and a 76 Coupe as drivers. A buddie of mine wanted help doing a frameoff on his 67 Vert -427/435 and would get my frame done by his employees.In '84 I got my position in Reno , the company wouldn't pay to move all my cars and trucks so I sold the 65 & 76 thinking that I'd buy a big block 67. The 67 was NEVER supposed to be a quick restoration, it was something to play with when I retired (especially since I paid $3,000 for it). I was looking at big blocks when someone said "You wanta get back into racing?". I blew off the big block and never looked back, it was a very good decision. I only work on the 67 when I feel like it (especially since I've been doing extremely dirty work that sucks). It will get done when it gets done. I still have a Corvette to drive and I haven't touched that car with a wrench in 5+ years, just drive it. If I still could afford to race, I wouldn't even be touching the 67. |
