I find this funny
. Since ive worked on a lot of piece of crap vettes with owners who are too cheap and don't want to pay to fix it right.
Im talking about 1970's to 2000's vettes. Interiors and bodies are complete junk .
Maybe that black one is worth saving but that's about it.
Each generation has been a stepping stone to what the corvette is today. Nobody can just make the perfect car on their first try, even after companies such as GM have made enormous strides towards figuring this stuff out and laid the groundwork FOR them. Any new car company today would be lightyears ahead of where they'd be 40 years ago just because of the automotive design knowledge there is these days, let alone new manufacturing technologies. This is why it's not exactly fair to compare the quality or whatever of a 70s vette with a standard cheap family car of today. If you're going to compare do it in a way that at least makes sense, like comparing cars of the same year.
Even if you're not a chevy guy you cannot deny what 60 years of the corvette has done for the automotive industry.
I'm not a ford guy, but when I went to the ford museum at the Miller Motorsports raceway I didn't look around and just say 'oh a bunch of old ford junk' because I've worked on plenty of crap fords. As a gearhead, I acknowledged their heritage and what they've accomplished and done to further the industry and respected them for that, and I'd hate to see anything bad happen to them because some are truly performance automotive history.
