I had a 1971 240Z, That was was the car that opened up my mind to Handling, which put me on the road to Corvette.

For me it was a friend in HS who had a 66 327/300 4spd vert white with red interior like this. It was so badass. The mofo could drive it too.

I ended up with a C4 auto.

My Dad had a triple white 58 that hooked me at 3 years old. .

Balanced 327 4 speed, with Fuel Injection, or 2 four's, obviously non original motor, but he knew how to tune the Injection setup. I grew up in a family that said they haven't made a Corvette since 1967, . That's how I ended up with my 04 Z06 CE.

I’ve never been around much automotive badassery. I envy your gearheadedness.

Dad had some bad PTSD from Vietnam, he was drinking 2 to 3 fifths of Corbin's Brandy a day (was a Marine door Gunner on a Medivac) lost control on his way home, 2 Lane country road beating the train, tracks upset the handling, ended up doing 7 spins and never hit the ditch.
Mom said Vette goes or me. Always had a stable of 64-66 GTO's.



And yes, he knew how to tune three dueces.

1981 280ZX. I loved that car. I’ve been trying to find one that I can rebuild. Of course any on the East Coast have rusted away by now.

At first glance, I thought that was a horribly hacked up 1977-81 Camaro.
