OLD Modified Corvettes

Lynn Engles, I think you mistook the car we were discussing.
After making my post I went back and the red and gold corvette listed as currently owned by LJ Engles is NOT the one we were discussing.
Those pictures were also posted by dedracer.
It is the white one we were discussing in Post # 436 that I quoted in my response.

Dedracer has now edited out the 63 out of his post # 436.
I think he realized he created a controversy by showing it as a 63.
Let me know what you think.
I post on here to make friends not enemies and your post made me think you thought of me as the latter.

mr cates i know which car i was talking about , your first sentence was in this case looks are not decieving ,well sir they are if you look it still has the stock front window trim, 63 only, but what you cant see is the title and trim and vin tag that prove it started out as a 63, your second sentence,can you tell by my screen name i should know a 63 when i see it, well if that was the case you said my superstocker was a 63 as it has all the right things, well wrong as it doesnt have the front window trim and it is a 64 . you also said my stocker looks right , well once again its run as a 67 but its a 65, one of your other sentences , so what is your point, my point is not everything is as it looks corvettes have been one the most popular race cars since the beginning so if you wanted to chg classes you just chged the vents or louveres to make it what ever want so if you cut out the back window of a 63 and put in 67 louveres and call it a 67 and its still titled a 63 as it started i would say its still a 63, one more example is the car posted by chopperloco has 67 vents but its not a 67,but then again my brother had a 61 that was titled as 58 that was bought right from a chevy dealer so what year would that be, i could go on and on but im starting to sound like the experts which i definatley am not and dont want to be. but i do love old corvette race cars whatever year you want to call them.
