Default new member 1964 Coupe

Just bought my first Corvette a 1964 300 HP 327 stick. Helped a friend build a couple in high school and college. His 67 427 was one of the few cars in the neighborhood to keep up with my 409 Impala SS. i had been looking for a roller project coupe for a few years but this one popped up when a client mentioned he was buying a 2000 Z06 and did not need 3 Corvettes. this car he has had for 20 years and is pretty nice factory appearing although an aluminum radiator and a FAST EFI TB on a Peformer intake with factory exhaust manifolds into side pipes.

I've been building and racing cars since high school and 1970. The 409 Impala won class at the 1972 IHRA Longhorn Nationals and Nationals. Drove a 1969 Roadrunner in college until i graduated and bought a new 1978 Trans Am I still have. Autocrossed it with road race slicks, then when the NMCA started having muscle car events early '90s with show and drag racing converted it to drag racing. A number of different motors since then. This year swapped the handling .suspension back in.

Here is the stable at the shop now.
1978 Trans Am original owner 10.99 @ 124 pump gas 455 E heads, NO Bird ever!
1981 Black SE Trans Am stockish 6X 400ci, turbo 301 on a stand
1965 GTO 4 barrel 3 speed project
2004 GTO Pulse Red stock motor computer tune 13.43@103.4
1964 Impala SS 409/470ci 600 HP stroker project-clo
