#ragtop corvette

[1963to1974]

1958 ragtop Corvette sporting a 283. Not sure of which of the 4 engine options in the 283 this car has. But she is so smart looking with the black body, white top and white sidewall tires.

Sweet little 1963 Corvette with a 327 2-speed Powerglide! The owner oversaw the frame off restoration. He said that the 327 originally came with 250 horsepower but in the rebuild he had it juiced up to 365. :-) There's a 3.08 rearend under her too. A C2 certainly rattles my cage!

1953 Corvette and only 300 were made this first year of production. These initial cars had a 3 carb setup on an inline six kicking out 150 horsepower mated to a two speed transmission. All were white bodies, red interiors with a black removable ragtop. Rumor has it Chevrolet gave one of the first few production cars to John Wayne for him to promote but he didn't like it because it was so hard for him to get in and out of. :-)

1973 Stingray big block Corvette draped in GM "Silver Metallic". This C3 was the first year of the body-colored nose. This girl has a 454 stuffed under the hood that produces 275 factory horsepower and is driven by a 3-speed tubo hydramatic transmission. That's a serious power to weight ratio! She has a hardtop and and white vinyl soft top. I like the original rally rims. There is a note inside the car saying the 454 produces 365 horsepower, but my research shows only 275 from the factory. I'd like to take her on a long drive and see how much power she puts out. :-)
