Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

A work of art, as seen in my driveway yesterday. Make and model, please. Doubt year can be guessed.

1963 Corvette

I see you doubt yourself in later comments, but you nailed the year. The hood louvers were no longer available after 63. (It says Corvette on the dash, so even most Democrat Presidential candidates could have figured the make and model.)

1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible.

1964 'vette. I think. Oh, I see someone else said '63. Could be.

After checking out a few of the dashboards, it could really be anywhere from '63-'66

63 Corvette

The dash appears to be anywhere from 63 to 67. The seat covers are 63 to 64. My guess is 63. I hope drove it or at least got a ride.

She is 63 'Vette Sting Ray. Almost entirely original. New convertible fabric. 250 hp.

No power steering, lads and ladies, and a heavy clutch. No a/c of course, and only AM radio. Almost too much heat when it's chilly.

Belongs to a friend, not to me.

Probably no seat-belts, either... or just lap belts.

Poor guy. Can’t afford a newer car.

A few years back a friend, flush from a successful IT startup, bought a pristine split window coupe. His wife wouldn’t even ride in it. According to her it was uncomfortable, didn’t handle as well as her Mini, was too hot and was too loud.
He sold it a year later, proving once again that true love knows no bounds!

63 Corvette. The fake hood louvers are the giveaway

Frankly, I preferred the C1 bobtails over the Stingrays.
