There's a clue on the last picture of the car. If you look closely, you'll see it.

Great car Webby!
65 convertible, knock off wheels, factory sidepipes, 375 hp 327 ci solid lifter motor, gold line tires. That guy has a special car, thanks for posting it. Only 771 Vettes were fuelies in 65, and only around 1100 had those wheels.

Casey, no 427s in 65, but you could get a 425 hp 396 big block too.

Yes you know your vettes, I had a 425 hp 396 65 vette, It was the first year for a big block and 4 wheel disk brakes.

66 was the first year for the 427 cars. There were several ratings for HP. The 425 hp car was one 4 barrel. However in 67 there was a 435 HP option that was 3 2 barrel carbs. Both were solid lifter cars with 7000 rpm redlins. That is a ton of revs for a big block. For their time they were blindingly fast.

When I sold mine I thought there would never be another car that would beat it. The C6Z06 would totally blow away a 67 435 hp car today. Plus it turns and it stops. At the same time the Bose is playing Led Zepplin and Onstar tells me if I need a oil change and lets me use the phone. The diffrence in tecnology is staggering.......
