No car, anywhere at any time or price, has ever rivaled the design of the C2 fastback Corvette. It is simply the most beautiful car ever built. The 65-67s were stunning.

Agree…….a beautiful car. Most beautiful ever? I don’t know. 68 Vette? 82 Vette? 95 4 cam C4? Ford GT40? F40? Beauty is a personal preference.

If you ever see a '63 Z06 with "factory" 4 wheel disc brakes an A/C at one point it belonged to my dad. The car was originally bought by a big muckity muck at GM. A year later when 4 wheel disc was available he had the factory install the brakes and A/C. Sometime in the '70s dad bought it from him. I'm about a foot too tall to fit so when dad passed I sold it to a family friend. He still has it.

Great story! I hope your dad didn't modify the split pillar. The discs are more reliable without having to adjust them over the life of the shoe, but unlike drums, they make friction at all times stealing a smidge of HP.

My 3rd grade teacher drove a basic Chevy Nova to school as her everyday driver. Her son was the top salesman at the local Chevy dealer and he gave her a real deal on her little Nova. One day we saw her arrive in White 327 fuel injected Corvette with a red interior: her son had given her a 'loaner car' while the Nova was being serviced.

I don't think I would take that chance with today's schools and uncivil society. It was a better USA back then, because we were better people back then.

Another great video! While I have long appreciate Vettes, all I really knew about the ‘63 was the unique split window configuration for what I think was that single model year. And curiously, that wasn’t even referenced here as there was so much else to share. Anyone have any input on whether it was true that its shape - specifically the front clip - *generated* lift?

I love the first 3 generations of the Corvette. Unfortunately I'm 6'2", 250. So I can't fit into the 2nd gen without modification. So if I am ever able to get one. It would have to be something in disrepair. Because it would have to be modified. And I'm not the type of guy who is gonna modify an all original classic car. But I am the type of guy who will cut up a run down classic and modify the crap out of it

My choice for ultimate 60s sleeper is the 1964 Chevy II / Nova 2 door post with the 300hp 327 engine option and 4 on the floor. You could easily work the 327 up to make over 400hp and in such a light car you could really put all that power to work.

I don't know if you can call that car a sleeper. But I bet that set up woke a lot of people up. :)
