I'd have to go with C2 and C3 Corvettes, and 1st Gen Camaros using the "D" spoke on the C2's, straight spoke on C3 and Camaro.

Stupid idea. EV's are fine as commuters for some people but I'm certainly not one of them. So what's up with putting an electric motor in a Mustang? So the owner can say "look at me-I have an EV Mustang". While onlookers would say "look at this idiot-he put an electric motor in a Mustang".

Stop butchering these classic cars! I've owned 15 Corvettes over the last 40+ years so I'm a big fan of them. I'm fine with bolt-on parts and things that enhance the driving experience like radial tires. But by doing a resto mod they've destroyed the character of the car.

I met him briefly at Laguna Seca, I believe it was 1986. I took a photo of him along with Don Yenko and Dick Guldstrand standing by the '67 L88 Corvette Lemans car which was only partially restored at that time. All three of these guys seemed personable.

Roadster???? Since when do Roadsters have roofs? Bad enough to call a convertible a roadster-a true roadster doesn't have a roof at all. A car like this is called a "Coupe". You'd think people in the car business would know that.

Yeah, I've been saying that for decades. Bring back stock cars. Take a Camaro or Mustang and whatever pos that Toyota has and gut it, add safety equipment and allow certain engine and suspension mods. Basically make a street car into a race car like they did in the old days. Now that would be stock car racing.

I think a lot of their stuff is way overdone. This one's not too bad. The worst part is the useless cowl hood. Don't say it's for looks because it looks like he!!.

Still remember the first time I saw a Yenko Duece. Summer of 1970 at Union Grove Dragstrip in southeastern WI. Oddly, it was yellow and had the automatic! Of course I thought it should have a 4 speed......

Making the cars look more like production cars is a step in the right direction. What they need to do is race real "stock cars" like they did in the old days. Take a production car and gut it. Then add safety equipment and limit suspension and drivetrain mods. Basically turn a street car into a race car like they used to do.

So nice to see a '69 Camaro without a cowl hood. Also with not only the correct stripes-but the stripes put on correctly!

Regarding the last photo: Way too much length on the wire harness. With a bumpy road it's going to drag-won't take much to wear through. Same thing for the safety chains. Bumpy road may cause them to drag that causes sparks that could start a fire along the road. Wires and chains just need to be long enough to have some slack when turning.

With that much bondo-especially on the roof-tells me that it's been on it's side before.

Good informational video. However, some of the information is technically incorrect. The 1st gen Camaro arrived as a '67 model. The first Chevy II that used many of the same components was a '68 model. So it would be more correct to say that the Chevy II utilized many Camaro components rather than the other way around. The '62 to '67 Chevy II's were significantly different.

I would have bought an SSR if it were just a little different. First of all, no drop top. Secondly, a larger pickup bed. If the drop top were eliminated the bed could have been enlarged to utilize the space where the top is stored when it's down. After owning many convertibles I can no longer tolerate the wind noise with the top down. Additionally, what a cool pickup truck that would have made with a fixed roof and a six foot bed. Top it off with the LS2 and a 6 speed manual gearbox and that would be a keeper for me.

Of the ones shown I have two favorites. The crossed flags on the 65-66 Corvette and the Z/28 emblem on the Camaro. Although the one pictured above is on a '68 a buddy of mine still owns the '69 Z/28 he bought new in March of 1969. Also LeMans Blue.

So nice to see someone that has respect for these classic cars. All too often they've been hacked up and butchered by customizers. In this case the mods are bolt ons done to the taste of the owner. Easy to restore to original or switch out for a different look. Congrats to the owner-job well done. BTW love the silver blue paint.

Cool looking truck. They'd sell great if 1) they were priced like a regular truck 2) had a gasoline powered V8.

No, don't want. 1) Hideous caricature of a Corvette. 2) Hybrid 3) Made in China. 4) Front wheel drive. 5) Insanely expensive for what it is. I could come up with more but for me it only takes one of these to take me off the "interested" list.

Beautiful truck. Glad it made it home. But just a note for the owners-and anyone else with a truck like this: the hooks that hold the tailgate shut are meant to be put in from the bottom and turned down, not dropped in from the top. Might not matter today with smooth roads but if you hit a significant bump they can jump out and you'll have a seriously damaged tailgate. Wouldn't want to see that happen.
