Default 1965 coupe

Hello all, my name is Eric. I purchased my first C2 about 2 years ago. It had a few issues and I started tearing into it. My minor issues turned into a much bigger project; new complete brake system, front & rear suspension rebuild, rebuild differential, rebuild trailing arms and hubs, minor wiring, and lots of parts removal, clean, paint, and re-install. Needless to say, I’ve learned lots of C2 information during the process, with a lot of it coming from this website.

My car is not original. I has a RamJet 350 crate motor (EFI) and a Muncie 4 speed. Paint & body are not perfect. It’s a driver but turns a lot of heads.

Glad to be a part of the community.

Eric
