Oh ... that is nice.

After Mopes, my second automotive passion is '61-'72 chrome bumper Vettes.

I'm not a fan of War-Bonnet Yellow, but that is really nice looking Corvette in exceptional condition for being 45 years old.

I bought my '68 AMX390 "GoPack" from the original owner's family, three years ago. Fully loaded, a/c, ps, PDB, am/fm, console, bucket seats, posi,  factory tach, zero rust, color: Calcutta Russet, 81,000 documented miles, 315hp/425 ft lbs tq. Bad thing is parts are more expensive/rarer for it than the Challenger. Chrysler now owns licensing rights and can bring it back,  etc

Yes. Occasionally the "Barn Finds" are out there.

I can only assume the guy never married

It that was closer, I'd buy it in a second!

Since we're talking Vettes and sharing photos, couldn't resist sharing mine. It's a 64. That gold 72 is beautiful. I really enjoy the early 70s look of those cars.

Made the mistake of selling my 71 War Bonnet , 454, 4spd

I really had Corvette fever for a couple decades. Owned 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1992, and a 2000 brand new...six altogether. The Europeans never understood how GM could bring the 68-72 Corvette to market for such a low price. Fiberglass allowed exotic shapes affordable for the Blue Collar worker. I still love Vettes to this day. A lotta bang for the buck!

Vettes are pure Americana

when I was about 10, the fastest car on the planet was the 63 Jag, I believe. But the Vettes soon surpassed it.
