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.
I really like the resto mod corvettes, old bodies on a new chassis with all all the modern stuff under the hood, modern suspension and brakes. They look old, but drive and handle like a new one, dang wish I could afford one.
This is the type of car the CEO of GM will snap up, much like this one owned by a former CEO of GM.

Not to get too far off the subject, but have you been in a gun store lately? See how many guns you can find that come plastic free. It's not just cars.
Screw allthat 2014 z28 BS. I'll take the 67, roll the windows down, creep down the gravel driveway onto the highway in front of the house, dump the clutch on that 4-speed, and let those 427 CI cook the goodyears, listen to the music flowing through the headers, down to the side pipe exhaust.
At the stop light, I'll open the passanger door so your girlfriend can get in and ride with a BAMF in a 67, 427 Vette.
Exactly!!!

Buying this car would be a total waste of money unless you where a Vintage Car Collector . With today's gasoline it wouldn't last long if you decide to drive it
You actually think someone will buy this car to drive?
Stuff like this ends up in showrooms,Think Jay Leno type collectors.

If one wanted to drive on todays unleaded you can change the valves or heads. The motor gurus can tune in on that to get it exact. I also know there are lead additives you can add to the tank.
At a fuzz over 10 to 1 comp with iron heads you could add a gallon of race gas to every 4 gallons of super,and take a few degrees of timing out of it. Doesn't look like the kinda car to pull gears in anyhow. Cruise it.

Leno doesn't keep them all stock. For example, in an article he wrote for Pop Mechanics, he told about an old car he bought and drove. The stock brakes were so poor than he couldn't stop it a stop lights and he ran some. It scared the heck out of him on hills. He replaced the stock brakes with modern good ones. Of course it took some fabrication to make them fit. He has some very good mechanics on the payroll to figure those things out.
