Nice ride with a C1, C2 and C3
A few of my friends and I went for a ride today, great weather here on the east coast.
I took these pics out of the windshield of my 70 442. The hood scopes are so large they got in the way.
My buddy is driving my 61, his 70 LT-1 is being worked on, my wife is in her 82 collectors and my two other friends in their 65's.
It don't get much better than this.

I know that it is VERY difficult for SOME Corvette owners to accept, acknowledge or recognize that there are other cars in existance on the planet, or, that Corvette owners could possibly appreciate, admire, or even own some kind of a classic/performance/collectable car besides a Corvette, but some of us do. Sooooooooooooooo, some of us Corvette owners would really like to see the 442-------------------ESPECIALLY those of us who own a kickazz 455 Cutlass.

Nice group of vettes Beautiful 442 also. I think most of us are car guys and appreciate all of the American muscle cars and even some of the European cars as well.

I had my 64 out yesterday, left early in the morning, got caught in the rain for about an hour or so, but then the rest of the day wasn't to bad. Now I got to crawl underneath and start cleaning.

It is a 4 speed, 455, 370HP with factory aluminum intake and large port "F" heads. It has the red plastic wheel wells, "OAI", outside air intake system, original fiberglass hood with the metal frame.
After driving the C1's and then getting into the 442 it's like driving in a Caddy.
Thanks for the kind words.

And yes, I understand exactly what you mean about getting out of an early Vette and getting into the 442. It's the same way when I go from the 56 to the 70 Chevelle conv.
