Subject: Re: My old pics by teebee on 2011/5/11 15:17:18 I figured it was, the wheels were exactly the same. Why did we sell them? Marcus is right, they weren't anything really that special back then. I paid $1700 bucks for the '64 back then, put that interior in ($325) it drove it for three years and sold it for $3200. The biggest reason for selling was it wasn't practical. It was my DD. When I got married we bought a Dodge Colt for the wife to drive. I was working in the oil fields back then and the Corvette didn't really fit too well with the dirt and crap. But I still drove it. then when we found out about first kid coming along, it became more impractical. About two months after Heather was born I sold it and bought a pickup, which way more practical all around. I just could not afford to keep the Corvette at the time. Believe me there are LOTS of times that I wish I had not sold it. The interior and the flares were very stylish in the day. I've shown these pictures on other Corvette sites and caught hell for "ruining" that classic. Marcus, it was the style back then to have the flared wheelwells. Mine were tastefully done (before I bought it). It allowed me to have G60 x 15 tires on the back and F60 x 15 in the front without rubbing. I lowered it sometime after those pictures were taken and it really looked mean. A mid-year was always what I thought I wanted when I got back into Corvettes, but they are just out of reach for someone on a teachers salary. |
