the little engine that could is in a 63 or 64 Corvette



Since the factory only put two tail lights per side, why does this have 3? The song "Dead Man's Curve" by Jan and Dean lyric "and all the Jag could see were my 6 tail lights" inspired a lot of people to have a extra pair added.

Now that is one explanation, the other, is that the factory experimental Makos had 3 installed per side from 1959 to 1961



"Can you hear me now" is pretty funny... as that looks like where some exhaust cut out dumps and frees up 10-15 horsepower instead of going out the muffler

that they used masking tape for numbers is a travesty

    1. or it might be a 64, or 65... I don't know Vettes well enough to swear it's a 63

  2. ...and then I noticed the six tail lights and massive fender flares and remembered that there once was a time when you could make modifications to an old Corvette without having to worry about being lynched by the purists. I bet those mods were done about 40 years ago.
