    I believe so

    This was about 2 blocks from the BlackHawk Auto Museum. Folks that live in that "Gated Community" can buy cars like this with their pocket change.

    My friends, putting flames and drag slicks on a classic Vette is sacrilegious. I'd restore it back to factory specs.

    You got that right, Fred...I was envious of a guy who had a '62 on base when my wing rotated to Holloman...When I went back to work as a mechanic I worked on a few Vettes and lost my desire for them...And you're even taller than I am so it would be even more uncomfortable for you......Ben

    The only thing I remember for sure is the '62 having more teeth in the side coves......Ben

    Right you are, they changed the look completely by not extending them back in the coves.

    When it comes to vehicles, I barely fit in them being 6'4". At that height, I can just get by with buying clothes off the rack and driving mass-produced vehicles. If I were just an inch taller, I'd have to dramatically alter what I do and what I can afford. Oh, and on planes, I have to sit with my legs positioned off to the side, unless I have the time to score a wider emergency exit row.

    Yeah, I'm whining. I'd rather be too large than too small.
