Re: Johannes - Great coin! I wouldn’t recognize it for what it is - this is one RARE coin!

 

When GM was able to make gorgeous automobiles - I remember seeing the early Corvettes when I was very young.

 

With these cars now 50 yrs+ old. Best plan is to get a restomod like I did. All new, best of the old looks with modern upgrades. The original 58s had poor fiberglass, ended up with hairline cracks after ten-twenty yrs on road. Plus most had no PS/ PW or PBs, and came with manual hooked up to a 283HP 283.Plus original drivetrain had those ugly skinny tires.
Mine was built a on new modern Corvette drivetrain/ new 58 body/ chrome/ new 58 interior/ all the amenites Power brakes/ steering/ windows. And has a 4 speed automatic.
Up front a new Corvette LS-4 600HP engine/ topend 240mph
0-60mph 2.5secs. Runs on reg gas/ 36mpg/ you can drive it like an old lady or put petal to metal. Still my fav. car is the 67 vette.

 

Neat, huh? Believe it or not, 2 more came on the market since. I have screen shots from the listing, never sure if I can post those... Guess I'll go for it. Numitra, just so they get credit

Gorgeous car! My dad grew up poor, a city boy from Newark NJ, always wanted a Corvette. Finally got his wish with a 1975 bright yellow, detachable sun roof - but it drank gas by the barrel, poor visibility and extended driving gave you the backache from hell. But it became associated with him and the South Orange restaurant he managed and had a piece of. The ‘70’s - what a decade. GM like Ford always seemed to grow their automobiles. The reliability was the pits - in 1974 when I turned 18 my mom gave me her 1966 Mustang. Everything would go - the radiator, generator, rotor, the glove box wouldn’t close, I had to put I stick match in the headlight switch to make it close, using the brakes made the car want to swing to the left - even new brakes never completely fixed that, someone stole the gas cap, the car was practically lethal in snow. It was my first car and it made me hate American can cars I’m sorry to say - it only had 88,000 miles.

It was an automatic - I’ve driven the three speed shift and it is a pleasure. I have a 2008 Audi two seater convertible with a standard shift that’s also a pleasure but also has serious reliability issues. No one beats the Japanese - they taught the world how to make cars using a 1948 book written by an American which we ignored.

ok enough - this is a coin site.
