Perfect C3 Corvette with 454 Big Block in Lakeway

Posted on Jul 20, 2014Written by Ken Altes

My opinion of these cars has changed, especially the chrome bumper early models ending in ’72.  This one has the right wheels and tires making it just right.  The big engine is stifled by ’70s smog and regular fuel limitations that dramatically reduced power for most manufacturers, but nothing a little hot rodding couldn’t fix.

  1. A classic beauty.

    Btw, have you seen the very latest model? They’ve tightened the lines considerably. Very pretty. Looks almost italian.

  2. Victor, I agree that the latest version is very nice, and a lot better car than all the predecessors. I was surprised that I liked this one as much as I did.
