Classic Cars

Can't see the front fender vents, so by the seats I'm guessing a '66........John

OK I see another hint, if my old brain is still working here goes, the ‘65 & ‘66 were the two years with that style front fender vents, on the ‘67 they were still vertical but different, the ‘63 & ‘64 had horizontal vents, SO if this vet still has the original wheels I say 1965…….John

It is a 65. As the title of the post states ??

So much for my reading comprehension. I was dazzled by that beauty of a Vet.........John

As I was climbing back into my Tacoma yesterday at the Transfer Station, that's Mainese for DUMP, I heard an unusual sounding engine pull in behind me. I turned around to see this classic pulling in.

I immediately asked the proud owner, "That the Straight Six?" to which he replied, "No, a V6!!" Never knew GM made a V6, my Dad's Chevy's were always the inline one...

A classic ???

That the REAL HERBIE????

I had to look it up on Wiki, I hadn't heard of them either. They actually made a 478 ci V6 which I've never seen in any car auctions. Makes me wonder if they were prone to catastrophic failure or something. Maybe the 6500 became tractor trailers?

[HEADING=1]478[/HEADING]
The 477.7-cubic-inch (7.8 L) 478 was one of the largest V6 engines ever built. Gross output was 254 hp (189 kW) at 3700 rpm and 442 lb⋅ft (599 N⋅m) at 1400 rpm. Bore and stroke was 5.125 in × 3.86 in (130.2 mm × 98.0 mm). It was introduced in 1962 for the 6500 series trucks.

Internet is wonderful

There was a diesel version, and a V-12 as well. I don't know about the gas version, but the Toro-Flow Diesel had a poor reputation.

You can still get one of the V-12s:
