I have had 2 different 64's and my mother used to have a 75. We have also had a 55,79 and 88 in the family. I and many like the midyear 63 to 67 best.

I could be wrong, but what I think he meant was adding an old body to a new frame/suspension/drivetrain to get the performance of a new vette with the look of the old models. But I could be wrong.
