Fer me the 69 don't get it. Has to be one of these:

1967 427 435 Corvette $139,900 Ron Romero 513 314 3149 - a set on Flickr

Never liked the Mako vettes as much.

But for 139 grand I could buy ...

It doesn't make sense for me to buy something pristine. I'm gonna drive it not store it...

See I'm not that picky when it comes to a 427 tri-power tuned to perfection 4-speed :cool:. If you don't know by now the world is full of personal preferences.After all why do you think there are Fords,and JBL's :D

In that style body corvette I would prefer the '63 split window small block 327

If it's the 350 HP model.:D

It's a nice looker. I always like the 62, which is a Stingray back on an old style front.

All this reminds me of going to the beach and looking at women...I fall in love, at least till I see the next one...:2thumbsup:

[QUOTE=Old Guy;1847011]That ain't a tunnel ram, you are very confused about this car. A tunnel port is something VERY different. Nascar motor.

Seems to me that Tunnel Port describes the heads, not the intake manifold. Pictures are too blurry to see what the manifold looks like.

Still a cool car.

The ports were developed for the SOHC 427. When Nascar outlawed the SOHC Ford tried to adapt the port style to the pushrod motor.

The pushrod goes up the center of the manifold intake port inside a pressed in tube. The combination of that routing in the manifold and the big round ports is what makes a "tunnel port" motor.

There was also a tunnel port 302, very,very rare. And a SOHC 302 that AFAIK never was released.
