That C2 generation of the Corvette in the coupe version was one of the most beautiful sports cars ever made. Had a 64 convertible that was sweet. That being said take one of the old ones with the side pipes and go for a 500mile spin and come back and tell me how much fun you are having.
Same with an original Shelby Cobra. The floor boards will cook your feet, the sound will deafen your ears and you best hope it doesn't rain.
Combined with, don't play with either one on a wet road unless you know what you are doing. Both will get you in trouble in a blink if you decide to push them a hair past most of our abilities.
Admittedly they were drivers cars compared to the safety features on the recent offerings. The new ones can go faster and corner better, carry more, break down much less frequently, last longer and do it all while allowing the average driver less chance of smashing it to hell and back. Along with allowing you to converse with a passenger or listen to the radio and enjoy a long ride.
Nostalgia is nice and cool, but for a daily or long trip driver the C6 and the new C7 are the best bang for the buck of any sports car ever made.
