Hi, this is Clem again. I found this great deel an ordinal fuel injected 1964 Corvette. I been xaniming it and 'cause I'm a long time memmber, I know exactly how fur form the accentuation line the fuel\injection sign got to be.

This one seems just perfect, but since you'ns know theses heres better'n me , I got to ask for some advice.

Y'all think this is the reel deel?

Yeah, but I know when they're tryin to fool me... Whenever I see a 65 with the flags down real low, I know somebody tryin to pass a worthless fuleie off as a 300 HP monster...

Yes, I remember it. I like the wheels too.

My first new Corvette was a white 365 HP 64 coupe.

OK, back to the original car. I just can't remember whether the AIM dimensions have a vertical tolerance of +/- 1.5 inches... surely Critter knows

A valuable opinion, Michael, thanks.

Some were trying to tell me that 65's didn't have Fuel Injected V12 BITURBO setups, but I knew better. This guy looks honest, he wouldn't try to sell me some made up car...

The other is reported to be one of the the rare double-fuel-injected ZZ06 very big tank (280 gal) 63 cars...
