Tommy Lee Byrd, The Hot Rod Hoarder, is back at it with another great video of some insanely rare and awesome muscle cars. These cars were all on hand at the Corvette Expo and Chevys in the Smokies event and we really wish we could have been there. Just look at the machines in this video! We’ll let Tommy do what he does, and tell us all about them. Pay attention, cause this stuff is rad.
Video Description:
COPO Nova, L79 Chevelles, Big Block Corvettes! The Corvette Expo and Chevys in the Smokies has it covered.
There are so many high-end muscle cars and amazing Corvettes on hand, and there always seems to be a special focus on true survivors. There were so many great cars on hand and I picked out a few of my favorites to showcase in this video.
You’ll see a one-of-one 1965 Chevelle 300 with a Corvette-spec 396/425hp big block, prototype M22 four-speed transmission and 12 bolt Positraction rear end with 4.88 gears!
You’ll see multiple big block Corvettes, most with ’70s styling, including fender flares, side pipes and big ol tires!
My favorite was a Hugger Orange ’69 Stingray that was painted in the ’70s and preserved perfectly. Big flares, 50-series Pro Trac tires, and of course a 427 under the hood.
You’ll see a COPO ’68 Chevy II, which is a special collaboration between Fred Gibb and Dick Harrell. 1 of only 50 built, and one of just a handful known to exist. Dick Harrell 427 under the fiberglass stinger hood.
