Blasphemy perhaps .... but I think I can put together 3 pedals there
Blasphemy perhaps .... but I think I can put together 3 pedals thereThis is all I can find.
Either this image has been photoshopped or the owner suffers from a major case of gauge-envy. Either way, someone went through a lot of work to make the this midyear Corvette’s cockpit look like something that’s ready for the runway instead of the driveway.

The photo was posted in the C1-C2 section of the Corvette Forum. I dug a little further and found that this dash is in deed real and was found in a 1966 Corvette that was on display at a car show in Elderburg, Maryland in May, 2007. The picture was taken by by flickr user tperry111.
This ’66 Vette is not the first with flight-related gauges. When the factory built the custom 1963 Corvette convertible for Harley Earl’s retirement, engineers removed the glovebox and installed custom gauges, one of which was an altimeter.
Comments about this dash on the forum are plenty and range from pilots talking shop to the fact that the usually chrome spinner on the Corvette’s tilt/tele steering column was painted flat black. Blasphemy!

Definitely a 2 person car. Passenger needed at all times as at least 1/2 of the instruments and switches are not reachable by the driver.

I suppose it’s built like the McLaren F1 with the steering wheel in the middle. I do like it better than the ones you can buy. Ya , the guy in the driver’s seat does look somewhat sketchy…Yea I gotta say its pretty nice for a 'stang
But like a wise man once said about his wifes boob job .....
Just because you put new headlights on a mini van .... doesn't make it a Corvette ....
