1980 Chevrolet Corvette

The owner says that he has had the original anemic engine replaced with a more modern and powerful V8, plus assorted restoration.

I have to admit that despite my ... umm ... distaste ... for Corvettes of the late 70s / early 80s, I enjoyed seeing and taking pictures of this car. There are lots of interesting shapes which can be extracted from it, and the red is really Red. It almost made me revive the "guilty pleasure" tag.

The owner of this amazing car was quite a nice guy. He was glad to stand aside for me to take these pictures, and was interested in what I was doing. He also directed me towards another great car, which is the subject of the next post.

Of note: This is not a hatchback. The trunk is hinged just below the rear window. The centre part of rear bumper is actually part of the trunk door, and swings up when it opens.

Do you have an older family member who is also a classic car fan? Do you need to keep them busy for a while, out of your hair?

Park them in the driver's seat of this beauty. It will keep them occupied for hours without being a risk to themselves or anyone on the street.

Just insert coins in the slot and you friend will be cruising the back roads of his memory, perhaps reliving scenes of "Smokey and the Bandit 2" and considering growing that moustache, buying that cowboy hat he always wanted.
