Not bad but it can’t compete with the ‘63 split-window coupe.
I have the ‘honor’ of having failed my first drivers test when the Chevy Citation my grandmother insisted I drive, rather than the 77 F250 I wanted to take it in, BLEW THE MOTOR.
I kid the not.
Let that sink in a second. Blew the motor during a driver’s test...chevy....
Been a Ford man every since.
Well, I gotta say that is a novel viewpoint - screwed up, but novel.
NO GM here, we have two made in Mississippi Nissans.
So, they are Nississippians?.......
Well I’m a screwed up and novel kinda guy ;)
Sooooo....what was wrong with it? That engine was a beast of power and design (exceeded only by the 427 SOHC) and the body was classic Mustang. What’s not to love? Other than the price tag?
A pig? Yup. But a damn nice one!
Lovely car, but perhaps it’s reserved for those who intend to spend their entire paycheck on gasoline while being watched wherever they go by highway patrolmen slavering over their ticket books?
I kinda like it, especially the red, but I will never buy an Obama car.
Besides, it would never tow my Airstream trailer, have room for my GSD, hall feed and straw for my geese and ducks, make it up my mountain during the winter snow and ice, or launch my boats. ;>)
I am already handsome, so I don’t need a Corvette. LOL
Me neither! I bought a C5 new in 2000 and still own it. It will be the last GM product I ever buy.
My wife wants one of these so bad she can taste it. I want a 4 door Jeep Wrangler. We have the means and the desire but unfortunately since both GM and Chrysler nursed at the government teat neither will be parked in our driveway. Maybe a Shelby GT500 and a F250 are in order.
Me like.
Well, I gotta say that is a novel viewpoint - screwed up, but novel.
I concur. That honor goes to the 2014 Shelby GT500.
I've been a Corvette lover for half a century. I love darn near every Vette that has ever been produced, and I'm good with this one too.
In a year or two, it'll look like it totally belongs in the stable.
Not my car. My would/will be blue.
My favorite Vette is a 69 with the 63 split a close second. But after the ‘Stingray’ style body was replaced with the mid 80s ones, I just didn’t ‘see it’ as a Vette. To me they look like a variant on the Firebird of the era. The later ones are ‘OK’ to me but still not the same. But then I’m a Ford guy so my opinion on the matter is about irrelevant ;)
I new a guy with one of the first Crossfire cars. After the first 12 trips to the dealer he left it in his garage hoping someday it would be worth something as the dealer would not take it back and he didn’t want to screw anyone selling it to them...or himself for the financial loss he’d have to take to sell it honestly.
But then all Chevy lovers are unAmerican communists anyway... ;)
I’m just old school. But the new Mustangs ARE very nice. Love to have one, just rather have an old one.
Want.....
Hell I’d settle for the sign ;)
