Daddy designed and cast/machined a twin cam, Miller / Offy style 16 V head, and put a GMC truck blower on his. A nitrous system was added and promptly spun the wheels right off that car. That was a 0-120 in 9 seconds car. So much fun on SoCal freeways. My kid brother wrapped it around a tree on a joyride - typical. Way too much power for that little shit

I was at a local coffee shop a while back and there was a guy there who had to have weighed 400 pounds if not more. He was tall and just big all over. He left, and a few minutes later I looked out the window and saw him behind the wheel of a Mazda Miata. It would have been something to have seen how he did it.

Perfect for the scooter riding, Kale chip munching feminized male of 2018. It needs a cargo rack on the roof though and synthetic real woodlike paneling like an old Ford wagon

Hey, I had a Rambler. The front seats reclined flush with the back seats. You had ample space for.......

Was that the model with the semi-circular "passion pit" for a back seat? With the front seats reclined there was enough room to host an Arena League Football game.

I can’t weigh in on the drive train but I think the 80s Corvette’s were way better than the really boring 90s ones, which looked like a Ford Probe.

Agreed. The newish 4-dr Porsche is anathema.

Who wouldn’t want a Corvette that has been converted into a Nash Rambler?


But the Nash had seats that reclined all the way down so they formed a bed. Back in the day, fathers frowned on boys who picked up their daughters in a Nash.

I remember seeing this in a German car magazine called something like Auto, Moto und Sport in HS German Class in 1979. It stuck in my head ever since.

The 1954 Corvette Nomad



One prototype built for the 1954 GM Motorama and afterward destroyed.
