Just traded my 64 Coupe for a 1995 ZR1 #165

[iree75]

Hello, I just became a member of the registry a few days ago. I traded my 64 C2 coupe for a 95 #165 ZR1. This particular car was owned by a few friends of mine in succession, whom both took great care of it. I helped the last owner put the corsa exhaust, SLP air intake and Halbeck prom in it.

It's a car I've wanted since the first friend showed up with it at one of our corvette meets as I've lusted after them since they came out (as I'm sure many on this forum have).

I literally just parked it in my shop before I had to travel last weekend. Whilst i figure out if there is a way to post pics from Amazon cloud drive, here is a video of my car way back in 2011 before my friends owned it. (Note that the car has 51k miles on it now). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THgq2dwDDC8

The mods I have envisioned are long tubes and perhaps some HRE or Fikse wheels... probably a clutch job in its future.

Thanks in advance for advice (I've been pouring over this forum for a while.) -Frank

Congratulations on the Z. When I bought mine years ago I almost went and looked at a 64 Coupe. Not too many cars out there I'd rather have than my Z but my next Corvette will be a Midyear Coupe.

Thank you for all the comments. I will own another mid year for sure.. Just have too many projects. The 64 needed some work and I'll be helping its new owner with it's restoration. Some of my other cars.
1979 T/A WS6 Resto mod - 470 HP 403 olds (built by J&S Machine), EZ EFI, 700R4
1998 Pontiac GTP sedan - 300hp to the wheels - fun sleeper
1969 Chevelle - in progress - Drag Car, Ford 9in, 12:5 to 1 383 solid roller, Turbo 400. Next on the agenda for this car - roll cage welding.
2000 BMW 740i Msport - I bought this car for $3500 with motor issues, but perfect body - interior. Rebuilt the top end of the motor including VANOS (variable cam timing). It runs perfect and has been my daily driver for a year.

I'll try to post some pics, just trying to figure if it can be done with Amazon or not. I have a photobucket account and know how to do it there.. but would rather keep everything in one place.

Again, thanks and best regards,
-Frank

I agree. The 8 series is a bucket list car for me.
