Default Getting Loaded

Well I finally pulled the trigger on a 67' after selling my Z06 last year. Here's a few pics of her getting loaded in Alabama. Frame off restored 1967 Corvette roadster, #'s 427 - 435hp, factory side exhaust, aux top, Tank Sticker

Congratulations, your '67 looks great. How was that first ride after getting it off the truck?

Thx everyone! It should be here in Calgary in 10-14 days. I hope

Excitement is unbearable. Although I won't be able to drive it until mid May..

Awesome looking '67. Congrats. May will be here before you know it and it gives you some time to tinker with her before you put air under her wings. Like the color combination.

Etrain - Looks like I read a little too quickly through your post, here I was thinking it was odd that your pics started off showing the car 'off' the trailer and then progressed with it sitting up in the trailer only to realize (after) that it was being loaded from the sellers location. Anyway, my comment still stands, the initial drive will be great and we want to hear all about it. It looks great and you no doubt have to be eager to get it home. Enjoy the car when it arrives.

NICE .. ! .. The car looks like it just came off the line. Vinyl tops were so '67 - a kind of 'in thing' back in the day.

Can't drive it until May?. Twitchy fingers around ignition switches - you sure about that? ..
