Daaaaaaaaang!

Rat motor Vette. Coupe or convertible?

My old man had a 69 coupe with 350/350 4 speed.

I burned my leg as a kid on the side pipes(covers off getting re chromed).

My Mom ordered the side pipes off the next day and my Dad never forgave me.

Fast forward a good few decades and my Dad has a brand new 2015 Corvette.

An absolutely fantastic vehicle. I'm the only one who has driven it besides him, despite him having another son and 6 grandsons.

The 63 split window fuelie(and 65-67 rat coupe) beats out the brand new Vette.....just.
