If I remember correctly, the sidepipes on the 66 were aftermarket.

Yup, had a set of Hooker chrome sidemounts. The one disappointing thing about that car that wasn't period correct were the lower-font B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's. Because I'm sort of a nerd about that sorta' stuff.

My friend Mike owns this corvette and owned it during the filming of goodfellas, not sure if he wants his full name known but my other friend used to supply cars for films and my friend had just finished restoring this vette and was offered a part in the movie. I can tell you he lived in brooklyn during the filming and now lives i PA.

Nah. He just fainted when he found out his original block was actually a re-stamp.
