[QUOTE="airborneJustin, post: 222883, member: 6776"] Good evening! Never a bad day to own a 1966 Vette! My grandfather purchased this car when I was 4 years old. He told me when he bought the car it was for me, so he recently gifted it to me now that I’m 34. He wanted to see me enjoy it. He raised me and now I’m taking care of him. Circle of life. He’s not doing the greatest, so I can’t ask him every question id like and I’m not sure he knows. Anyways I love this car. Just recently started driving it about a month ago. I am far from a mechanic! Had it quickly gone through as it hasn’t been drove for 10 plus years. Changed oil, tires, brakes, and a few other things. It’s driving great besides a mis when first starting in each gear, minor alignment issues, and needs a parking break. Could use a paint job, but it’s really just a driver I believe. I could dump tons of money in it, but it’s still a 327. My Papaw told me it was all original. I’m assuming not every single thing, because it has a tape player in it for instance (that doesn’t work). - How can I figure out for sure? I’m going to put a stereo from: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.classiccarstereos.com/hertz-energy-1963-1967-corvette-premium-stereo-kit.html[/URL] As I already have one on a 1972 Chevy C10 I own and like the quality of the radio and how it attempts to look old.
