Filip's blue convertible is a '70 or '71. They're practically indistinguishable externally . . .
. . . but power was downgraded for most '71 engines which had smog equipment for the first time.
1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray.
My favorite Corvette, after the " Rip Tide ". 5, 3, engine, 300 HP. Enough to have great fun. And what a body! The unmistakable interior. Indisputably my favorite American car. Well, with the Ford GT 40 and The Bad Boy, the Cobra. Best, Nicolas ...
'70 or '71, the last of the high-compression muscle 'Vettes . . .
. . . with the coolest side grilles of all ;-) . . .

Not really a 'Vette guy . . .
. . . although I respect the brand immensely. There were several underwhelming production years; my favorite was '73. [photo credit: Wikipedia] Long plastic snout with chrome rear bumpers . . . . . . and optional aluminum wheels. Engines were down-rated b...
I can hear Shut Down playing in the background…
I don’t think you will ever hear a song like that for watch movements 🤣😂😆
You knew . . .
. . . this was coming. And for the record (pun intended!), I was rooting for the Dodge. ...
I wish! A '62 Super Stock Dodge 413 . . .
. . . would be one of, if not the , earliest muscle cars. Most accept the '64 Pontiac GTO as the first muscle car, but Pontiac, Dodge, Plymouth, Mercury, Ford, and Chevy all had high-output engines in coupes since the early '60s.
I remember when the initial split window C3 came out. It looked SO futuristic! Got some fun rides in one with the 427 big block. Eventually though this body style got pushed into 2nd place
for me due to the amazing clean simple lines of the C5. A rare moment where you and I have a slightly different opinion. ;-) ...
First off I meant C2 for the split window. I always get this wrong because the first Vette with the blue flame 6 and no manual transmission option seems like #1 to me.
My mind always sees the subsequent cars with 4 headlights, V8s and manuals as the next version but it's not! So it's the C2 and C5 that are my favorites with the 5 edging out the 2 for top pick. I think there were a couple of versions of ZR1s (with a new ...
I worked with a woman in the early '90s who drove a purple ZR1 . . .
. . . and my dream was to be her chauffeur.
This was my era. Had a friend with the 63 split window, and a friend with a 72...
who would ask me to swap cars some nights so he could cheat on his girlfriend and be incognito.
How very indistinguishable from everything else on the road 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Love it inside and out - but no idea what these were like to drive 😊🤷🏻♂️
One of the most iconic auto bodies of all time.
I'll take a split window, but can you go wrong even without? Nope.
Drop dead gorgeous
That red is killer. And with black wall tyres on Rally wheels, too.
