Default Brian Hobaugh's '65 Corvette Is Perfect for Decimating the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car



Brian Hobaugh's '65 Corvette is one of the baddest cars around: one that inspires confidence in its driver, and fear in its competitors. It’s also drop-dead gorgeous.

That is my dream car. Brian would do well to replicate those fender flares for sale....by far the best looking and integrated I've ever seen. I'd buy a set to put on the shelf until I get my C2 coupe!!

I saw that car in person at SEMA and it looks so right in so many ways.

That car is an ex Larry Park car that his dad bought a long time ago. I believe the flares were already done. It is a pretty rad car and have ridden in it multiple times.

I remember Larry and used to compete in the American Autocross Series when they first started it....the Crows Landing events were my favorite. I then had to sell my car and toys to start a new business so I was out of autocross events and track days for about 11 years.

I talked to Brian about the flares at SEMA....still the best looking flares on any C2 I've ever seen.

Nice, that's who I run with exclusively. They by far have the most fun courses, best group of people and cars and we are back at Crows Landing.
