    '65 GT350 Hillclimb

    This guy has balls like church bells to drive such a rare and valuable car as hard as this in a hillclimb event...

    That's awesome that he has the balls to actually use the car for its intended purpose. I'd rather see them used like this than just be a dust collector in some garage.

    I agree. Definitely awesome. But risky considering the financial risk. Hillclimbs seem way more dangerous than a track. You go offcourse and you are basically hosed...

    I love how the car handled so well. Sure would love to be a passenger - it would let me know how hard I could push my '66. I have fun in the turns...but don't really push it to the limit.

    It looked like the passenger's feet were glued to the floor boards!

    I hear ya... there isn't much to hold onto for the passengers in those cars!

    I've taken a lot of folks for a little "spin" in my '66, and it is hilarious how they unsuccessfully scramble for something to hold onto when I jump on it and she gets a little ( or a LOT ) sideways!!
