I've got a friend who had an L-88 in a '68 Camaro, M-22 rock crusher 12 bolt posi. It idled like it was firing on 6 out of 8 cylinders, but hit the gas and hold on. I never figured out if the smile on my face was from the fun or the g-forces.
That pic is what I have in mind when I think 1967 Corvette Convertible - thanks for posting.
‘68 Camaro: Smile was from the fun; what a treat that car must have been!
