64 Corvette Stingray Backroads Hard Run

Just a little shakedown run after a complete mechanical rebuild with a custom frame, C-4 suspension, 5spd, and tunnel rammed 355ci. Video was shot with lousy coil-overs that were a bit weak, and both half-shaft outside u-joints eating themselves leaving a bit of play in the rear - moved one way on accel, the other on decel... but still a fun ride.

It's on it's second life. I rebuilt the entire car, except for the dash, after totaling it....which occurred after I put over 90,000 miles on it. So I treat it exactly the way it was built to be treated... :)

That put a smile on my face. Felt like I'm sitting in the passenger seat. What a ride! Reminds me of the good ole days when I was young and carefree.

My dad just passed and now its time for his 64 Corvette he bought when he got back from Vietnam gets to run like that. That is how he drove it always, its a coop and I would bump my head on the back window when he would slam it. My oh my how much fun we had! Love the video, that is how they want to run!

Wow! fun ride! I'd say you need more tire or softer compound unless it was a cool day (under 65 F). It's traction appears be similar to a 500 WHP car. I had a vortech V3 si equipped C5 and my current C6 Z06 have similar traction impairments under 65 degrees. Both cars ran 325's in the rear. I'm running 4S's on the Z. They do very well for a 300 wear rated tire. Better than the 200 rated Nitto's I had on my C5. Good to see it being driven & enjoyed!!

That looked like fun, just being normal.

[@RCFourFive]

Awesome car, video and drive. Love it all :)

[@briankarr3361]

Awesome car man. One of my favorite corvette vids, and I've seen a few of them. Got my first vette last summer, 04 z06, and I too love hittin the backroads. The C2 is, in my opinion, about the baddest looking car ever made, and yours is bad ass. Look forward to seeing it with some fresh pain on it. Little cage work and driver restraints might order judging from your driving style... just sayin. Stay safe.

[@gregghls2998]

FINALLY YES!!! Someone finally has the balls to take out an old vette and rip her! yes!! now ima takr out my 71 340 4 speed Demon for a rip:)
