A bit like my old 1970 manual small block. Mine ad the egg crate vents though. Enjoy.
Small block but that’s a bit irrelevant as it’s going to become an FIA Appendix K race car so it’ll be either L88 or ZL1 big block.

... and I hope major suspension mods so it can go around corners!!
Mine had the standard bonnet when I had it, new owner fitted a big block bonnet and had the engine tweaked. You may want to upgrade the standard drive shafts as mine twisted when power torque raised.!Looks a lovely car. I’m thinking yellow or orange.
It’s pretty limited by what was homologated in period but springs dampers and geo will be changed, arb on the rear which the big block cars had anyway. Basically period spec. The first non prototype home in the 1970 Le Mans was a Vette until Porsche lodged a protest. So theyre not all bad.
Will hopefully look something like this in a year or so.

May seem initially like a daft question but.... Is a F150 raptor considered commercial at import or can it be considered PLG?
My current F150 is registered as a PLG rather than a commercial vehicle. This also allows you to do 70mph on a motorway, unlike those pickups registered as commercial that are only allowed to do 60mph as a result.
Don’t know about your question but a non-articulated goods vehicle less than 7.5t can do 70 on a motorway.
You must have too much time on your handsThanks to John it arrived a little while ago. Got it stripped to a rolling chassis which looks good, body’s had quite a few repairs over the years and the windscreen frame is rotten so that’s looking like a fair bit more work than I thought, I’ve not seen this much “proffesional” filler work since my mate’s chicken wire sill Beetle. So may have to compromise on the engine front.

Looks a fun project though.
At least parts availability is pretty good for old Vettes, so it should be just a matter of time and effort. Looks fun and from what I understand these things are pretty straight forward.
Can't take her home to meet MotherI’ve got hold of a used 350 that I think has come from a Lola, moderation in everything.
