Rozelle 1965 Corvette Build

Project #2 here on Lat-G. You might already know our Camaro whose build thread you can check out here:

If you already know our other project you probably also know that my dad and I attend a ton of track events. This past year however I have been doing almost all the driving and that is where this car comes in, our 1965 Corvette project.






My dad's dream car has always been the C2 Corvette, so when Cris at JCG found this one for sale locally we grabbed it. The goal is for it to compete alongside our Camaro at local events while also being a car that gets driven around town a fair amount like our Camaro does. However, this car will not be seeing as much road course abuse as the Camaro and will be our autocross focused weapon, with the intention of debuting the car at Goodguy's Del Mar for its first major competition and hopefully competing in Scottsdale at the end of the year.

We picked up this car in April 2014. The previous owner had not driven it since 1981 and it had been in the same family most of its life. The flares on the car have been there for a very long time along with the two added taillights that are another cool retro touch by the previous owner.





Future plans included a brake upgrade, way more power, and a full suspension setup from Van Steel Corvettes with JRI coilovers.
