That one is a 67 split window with a 427, dual quads, 1/2 cam, headers and glass pack side pipes. The drum brakes from factory is what made that a ride to remember. In its day not many could touch that setup stock. My oldest sisters boyfriend was a certified mechanic for them. I got to try so many but this one is what I would pick for sure!
Awesome rides. The only year that had the split window in back was the 1963 like in that top photo. After that 64 thru 67 did not have the bar in the back window to split. 1963 is the only year split window coupe Corvette.

Motion had some stuff back in the day. Just don't quite get the publicity of the Yenko's. I would gladly take a 69 Yenko Camaro.
Yes Motion produced some nice Camaro's and Corvette's but Yenko was the tops back in the day.

FYI, there is no such thing as a 67 Split Window Coupe. The Split Window was a one year only thing in 1963.
Your right! My bad. It was L84 that had that and visibility sucked. They went to the full shaped window after. 67 was first year of L88 if I remember right

You are confusing engine codes and body configuration. The second generation Corvette was introduced in 1963, the coupe version had the split window. In 64 the split window was done away with and the coupe had a one piece wrap around window from 64 to the end of the C2 production in 67.

The L84 was the top dog 327 (there were several 327 variants available in the Corvette) which had the Rochester mechanical fuel injection previously used on the 283. It was was available in 64 and 65.

The L88 was the top dog 427, basically a race engine, and was introduced in 67. Most 427 Corvettes didn't have the L88.

Chevy still uses the L84 option code for the 5.3 (323 cid) LS engine.

1990/91 Audi Coupe. Our first Audi wish we had room to keep it way back then. Edit, I found this image of one that was the same color as ours.

Maybe a Jaguar. Don’t ask me years & numbers. I don’t know.?ā€ā™€ I just like them, but I would want one with the hood ornament. They look better to me. Also, when I met my husband, he had a Datsun 280zx. Very cool car. I wouldn’t mind having another one.:)
