Traded in a 427/435 Vette for a COPO Chevelle, drove for a few years and pulled the L72 and put in a 350 and sold it as just a 1969 Chevelle.

I know of a guy who actually had a "winter Vette" for driving in winter and other bad weather in SW Ontario. It was a 1965 396/425 4 spd with sidepipes. did it for over 10 years mid 80's to mid 90's.

Default C2 racks

These are no C2 factory luggage/ski racks. The first appearance as a dealer installed accessory was in the 1966 Accessories book. Plenty of aftermarket ones. Funny thing is, if you have a correct Ski rack on your C2 corvette with an accompanying original dealer invoice showing dealer installed, you still get dinged when it’s judged
