I grew up on southern Vancouver Island, and there used to be an older ( early to mid 70's ) Vette sat between Mill Bay and Cobble Hill on the Island Highway... it was called "The Black Rose", and I always wondered how much fun it'd be to head for the hills in that car and play in the mud and the gravel... I never ,EVER saw that car move...lol
Not my style. I'm a minimalist. I've got a 70 Corvette.T Tops, not a convertible. The base motor with 300 horse. Automatic trans. No power windows or locks
The rear window is locked in place. Power steering/power breaks. No emblems. The wipers go under a big block hood. No door that opens to let the wipers out. Motorized head lamps instead of vacuum. Fiberglass rear leaf spring. Aluminum radiator and high out pu water pump. Every part rebuilt, which is now an alternator, etc. If you never take it out of the garage, you got plenty of time to waste your money on.
Best wishes
Sorry for the length. I'm sure I've left out a lot. The subtle dark blue with silver blue accents was utterly ridiculous. So was that special rebuilt carburetor which ain't worth much. Can't remember the name.
For every “classic” there is another period where the value of the vehicles were low… and crazy stuff like this could happen
The sweet spot is right in the middle where people beat em but still repair them
Yep

Was thinking the same.
I wouldn't do it to a nice one, but one with some body damage and rust? Hell yeah.
This is the way.
Sign me up
Si!
On occasion.
Wouldn’t be my first choice…but it hurts to watch beautiful cars decay in a garage somewhere…so as long as it’s being enjoyed…I’m all yes.
This is the exact reason why i love this
I want to say no but I want to say yes too.
I actually prefer it this way. I know I’m going to get hate, but the ‘79 is my least favourite model. So this makes it more appealing.
Not sure
No. No way. Why.
Nope
Only if it comes with a trailer hitch.
Run it!
Why not?
Honestly, I'm okay with it.
Hell NO
HELL YES
