'65 Corvette w/ Factory Drum Brakes

[scuncio]

I wasn't aware of this until now, but one could delete the disc brakes on a '65 Corvette and receive a $64 credit...unsurprisingly only a few people did so (I believe the number was 316).

It's ironic that the seller is using the '1 of 316 original drum brake cars' as a selling point for a car that's anything but stock.

67k? I wouldn't give 27k for that pile.

You sound like Henry Ford.

That could be real fire,seeing it's located in Las Vegas.

Somebody needed to take the airbrush away after the front end was done. WAY too much of that everywhere for me.


The teeny bop fluff under the hood is unsightly too.

Kind of like a 3 speed mid year Corvette........rare but not desirable.

:haha: You are 110% on the money with that, Bill! And he'd be asking $150K for it :thumbsdown:

Relisted in the link below. Needs more airbrushed skulls to go with 'The Count' look...fortunately it's a straightforward deal to do a full repaint (albeit expensive).
