Had a few corvettes in my day,and have driven them at some high speeds.In my business I have come across some bad accidents involving corvettes,not even going fast,gave me a whole new perspective on them.I like them,but I wouldnt buy one for my wife.[She wont buy one for me either!,darn it]
LOL! If the women can't find us handsome, at least they can find us handy, eh?
That was home for me. Thanks. Now he just has to pay for the pole.

Concrete has no respect cars at any price.
Should have used the $200,000 to buy some brains, and driving lessons.
Talking about brains I recently saw a rerun of a Mythbusters episode about the myth that a guy could not sell an expensive sports car because it had a dead body in it for awhile and the smell dould not be removed.
So these guys who must have a lot of time and extra cash went out and bought a cherry 1987 Corvette that was running looked sharp and was well maintained, they then got ahold of a recently deceased pig and proceeded to see what would happen after two months of the carcass sealed inside the Vette sealed inside a shipping container would smell like.
It was gross! The body fluids rotted every piece of interior, got into every vent and crevice, the car would not start and after several people backed off literally a guy bought it for $2,000 cash for parts. What a waste! I really want a Vette bad but they have always been out of my financial reach and too see one practically destroyed like that made my stomache do flip flops.
I too saw that episode. The buyer got a good deal for 2,000 bucks, Engine & Tranny. Plus the body could be parted out on E-bay (No Smell). I saw dollar signs. About That Beautiful Ford GT. We Golfers would call that a Shank! he should of stayed on Course. Live & Learn.
FORD: (First On Race Day) (Example 1965-66 Shelby GT-350 Mustangs, Boss 302 Mustangs, 1964 Ford ThunderBolt Fairlane 427, Ford Torino Talladega 428, Daytona Coupes, Ford GT. Last but not least Famous 427 Cobra's). & no I am not bias I own a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6.
