So you never hit one out of Yankee Stadium, or headlined at the Garden like you planned. You can still drive a Corvette. And it’s even more fun than you imagined it as a kid.
Because today’s ‘Vette have 40 years’ worth of Chevy engineering breakthroughs: the LT1 engine, one of the world’s most advanced small-block production V8’s. Dual air bags. The union of Bosch ABS brakes and ASR traction control. And no other Corvette has a cockpit quite as refined as this year’s.
So, even though you’ve wanted a Corvette for as long as you could reach the accelerator, it’s probably a good thing you waited until now. Because the 1994 Corvette is the best one yet.
Had a full load unrestored 66 BB coupe / 425 for 10 yrs.
Then D-----e came along and it was the coupe or the kids(down payt to buy and set up a house)
Really no contest.
Sold the car for 43,000 in 89, and I knew I'd never have the bucks for another one. Oh well! no regrets.My kids did really well.
Got the next best thing 93 Ruby roadster 8000 mi.
By the way, when I was a kid, I not only made myself the same promise that kid did........I went out and got the very thing then and there.
The main difference between me and most of those other guys is.....I kept mine.
I had 3 C2s and sold them as used Chevies, back in the day.
BTW, if you remember Edward R. Murrow [avitar] you must remember when C1s were in the Chevy showrooms.
