Just plain sucks...nice ride.
The article I read he was pulling it around to show his daughters boyfriend the car and the breaks had no break pressure yet. Tried to pull the emergency break to no avail.
I saw that, but didn’t say anything. He may have car for sell. lolBrakes. B R A K E S. BRAKES, for ****s sake.
Maybe it was just the camera but it looked like he was really hauling ass coming up the driveway?
Funny, yet not funny. My dad put his 69 427/435 with 3 deuces into the laundry room when I was younger. Center carb was mechanical, the other two vacuum. Somehow it went wide open, he panicked and dropped the clutch. Not a happy day. I drove that car a bunch. What a beast...Stuck throttle maybe?

What I was trying to figure out by looking at the other cars in the driveway was he just done taking out the Vette for a cruise and how was it stopping out on the road if he did not have brakes in the driveway. I had 3 classic Vettes a 69, 70, and 71 two of them being big blocks and know how temperamental they are and reliability was not the best for Vettes of that era.
My dad had a 68 convertible 427/435hp and he said it was always hit or miss with that car, but when it was on it was the fastest car in the area. A friend of mine had a 69 427/435 and I drove that and it was pretty impressive for the day.
My cousin in Hawthorne, CA had a red 427/435 while I was stationed in Long Beach. We'd go cruising and OMG, what a freaking rush. The torque was awesome. What wasn't awesome was literally watching the gas gauge move as he drove. I think he only averaged around 5 mpg. But they were all fun miles, and gas was pretty cheap back then. Pretty much looked identical to this one. I'll bet he wishes he still owned it.My dad had a 68 convertible 427/435hp and he said it was always hit or miss with that car, but when it was on it was the fastest car in the area.
