I too remember those days well. I had a 67 Coupe for 6 years. Drove it every day every where, even in winter. Who knew - from 1968 - 1974. If we knew our cars would be worth something, we would taken better care of them. Had side exhaust, what a sound, and they are loud inside. KOOL car. Drive a G S Collector conv., last conv made of the Collector series, it's FAST TOO.

There aren't many things that bring a smile to a gear head, except a mid to early sixties Corvette. For many years I drove a 67 Corvette Stingray custom. 427 v8 410 HP, 400lb ft torque. It turned a lot of heads. Great video. PS the Stingray had no power steering or AC, every time I drove it I got a good cardio workout.😉
