I saw the title of this thread and was going to post pics of mine and now that I've seen the others, mine doesn't measure up!
No judging here at all.......just lots of cool and bad *** cars that really represents what happened to many of them when they rolled off the dealer lot.
This is my 65 SBC 400 with Holly Fuel Injection, TKO 600, Musgeon Brake rear spring, Ridetech Shocks and Borgeson steering.
Dyno was almost 400 at the rear.
Can someone tell me how to rotate the pics. They are fine until I download them.

I bought this a month ago, and it's being shipped from Texas next week.
1963 Charlie Stewart Corvette
632" SR20 all aluminum Chevrolet, 1,330 hp
Runs 7.40's at 185 mph off the stop. 9.90's at 175 in SG trim. 8.90's at 180+ in SC trim.
Other than the Corvette flags on the nose and tail there isn't one Corvette part on the car. But it kinda looks like one.

Mike Brewer from Wheeler Dealer wanted to buy my '62 at the Seal Beach car show a couple years ago.
