<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 26587771, member: 91820&quot;]Gorgeous car! My dad grew up poor, a city boy from Newark NJ, always wanted a Corvette.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.</p><p><br /></p><p>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.</p><p><br /></p><p>ok enough - this is a coin site.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
