Hagerty Price Guide was originally published under the name of Cars That Matter in August of 2006, and was later renamed Hagerty’s Cars That Matter in September of 2008. Currently, Hagerty Price Guide is published three times a year, and it has quickly become an authoritative and respected resource for valuing classic, collectible, and historic vehicles. Model History Specifications: • 8-cyl. 327cid/350hp 4bbl L79 • Curb weight 3,145 lbs. • Length 175.1 in. • Wheelbase 98 in. • 15,376 produced 1963 was a watershed year for the Corvette. Production hit 21,513 – split quite evenly between the new “roadster” and stunning coupe design from Larry Shinoda under the direction of Bill Mitchell, with the now infamous (and valuable) split rear window design. Subsequent model year Vettes added the new knock off wheels (1964), the 396 “big block” V8 (1965), and then in 1966, the 427, 430 HP L-88 model, ultimately one of the most collectible Corvettes ever. The C2 series ended in 1967, with the addition of 5 slot fender vents and the famous ’67 only hood scoop and contrasting color “stinger” stripe on the big block cars. In all, the cleaned up '67 model was a fitting end to the C2 series which can lay claim to being the most loved Corvettes of all.

  • The Story of a Global Brand A. Louis Chevrolet and the Legend Of
    Chevrolet – the Story of a Global Brand A. Louis Chevrolet and the Legend of Beaune Like many inventors and pioneers, Louis Chevrolet (1878-1941), the racing driver and automobile designer, represents a challenge for any historian or biographer. Myths and legends surround him and his life. Numerous anecdotes have been told about his career. Today, it has become very difficult to differentiate between fact and fiction. Chevrolet's childhood and youth are well documented. In 1878, he was born on Christmas day in the town of La Chaux-de- Fonds in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. He spent his early childhood nearby in the sleepy little village of Bonfol. Even today, Bonfol remains a small town where the only reminder of its famous son is a memorial plaque on Place Louis Chevrolet. When Louis was nine years old, his family moved to Beaune in Baby Louis Chevrolet France. There, Louis' father owned a watch store, but the venture was not successful. As a result, Louis started working at the age of eleven to support his family. He found employment in the Robin bicycle workshop, where he learned the fundamentals of mechanics. He repaired coaches and bicycles, until one day he was sent to the "Hôtel de la Poste" to repair a steam-driven tricycle belonging to an American. This must have been the moment when Chevrolet fell in love twice. He fell in love with automobiles, and also with the idea of emigrating to America. The American, whose tricycle Chevrolet had skillfully repaired was none other than the multimillionaire Vanderbilt.
