The guy that bought it changed out the transmission (for one of his Shelby’s) and painted it dark green - like Bullitt.
Yeah it was the same guy who had the GT500KR.
His company is long gone. Once in awhile I drive by the old small building where it once was.
He sold my car to someone else. They in turn sold it - I hoped to buy it back but really didn’t have money at the time.
One day, in another adjoining city, I was driving looking for something (can’t remember) and got lost in a residential neighborhood. As I was trying to get out of it I looked up and there sat my old 67 Fastback in someone’s driveway.
I didn’t really have any money then either. Nor did I knock on the door to at least get a number. Never saw her again. That was about 1979 or 1980.
I had a late 1986 with the L-98(?) aluminum heads, BUT got the 4+3 (oops - I didn’t know). Supposedly only about 67xxx or 68xxx on it. Didn’t appear to have been wrecked, BUT that car had a lot of problems. Clear coat peeling off (all ‘vettes those years), LCD dash lights going out, transmission eventually broke (just bought a new one). I finally let her go several years ago (7-8 years ago). Didn’t get much money out of it.
I replaced the Gatorback tires with BF Goodrich. Rode much better and much more stable on uneven pavement. Car was fun to drive. Oh well.....
When the compressor clutch is disengaged i.e. the AC is turn off, there is negligible or 0 HP being used. If you are deleting A/C because of that reason then that is ridiculous. There must be other reasons. It looks cooler under the hood with no A/C?
However, being from Eastern Virginia, if there is a war we will be toast lol.
Less weight.
