Difficult to find these days.

One of my favorite styles. I also liked the earlier models from the 50s tho some of them were a bit underpowered.
I would love to have one but tuned to drive to work or vacation yet still have ample power.

This article makes it sound like Ole Harley is still around.
He died in 1969.

That’s (almost) what I own, Corvette Stingray, original thunder gray. Before I came to America, I promised to buy a Stingray and eventually got it. Never drove it unless it’s my birthday. Thank you Barrett Jackson!
