Say "Hi" to a bunch of Corvetters
Mar 10, 2018 20:24:59 #
An outing today with members of my Corvette Club, RTP Corvettes. We visited Theo's in Pinehurst, the golf capital of North Caroline, if not the world! About 17 Vettes and 34 hungry members. I shot this with my Nikon P7800 in pano.

My car would fit nicely in there as a counterpoint.... 660cc... Less than a lawnmower...

Add abt 115cc and you would have one cylinder of modern standard Vette. 😎😎😎

What?! No classics? By the way, how did the car on the far right sneak in? An imposter, I say.....

Folks tend to keep the classics bundled up during winter months. Come spring car show season the show fields will glisten with those beauties. Weak eyes/bad cropping on the boggey!

That must be one humongous lawn mower. Checking Home Depot, looks like LM engines run about 140cc to 160cc. My Honda motorcycle is 700cc and that's four cylinders.

Sorry to say Corvettes never were my favorite vehicle, especially starting in '63 and the Stingray. I liked the T-Bird up to '57. After that you can keep keep them.
I had a '64 Impala. That car is why I have come to dislike Chevys. Had to rebuild the engine AND transmission at less than 50K miles. Had to replace a ball joint and the carburetor when only a few years old. The engine would over heat in the summer and run freezing cold in the winter and nobody could figure out what was up with that. I had the cooling system back flushed a couple times and the radiator rodded out. Screw Chevrolets.

Two points Ed:
The ‘63 Splitwindow Corvette is perhaps the most desired Vette ever built.
If you look around, you’ll likely notice that Chevy, and just about all other auto manufacturers, except maybe Yugo, have made a couple changes in their product since 1964.

I used to know a guy back in the late '80s who had a pre-Stingray Corvette, about a '58 to '62, that he bought new after college. I don't remember the year, just that it had four headlights. He invited me into his garage one day where he kept the car. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He had crap piled all over the thing. I thought to myself, "What the hell is he doing. That car is worth a lot of money and he's treating it like that? What's the matter with him?" I may not be a big Corvette fan but I did like the looks of the earlier Vettes. It's the Stingray design I wasn't in to.

Four headlights signal ‘58.
