Lexx Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Many of you know I have a thing for yank V8's. As such, I want this. Badly. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/chevrolet/corvette/chevrolet-corvette-1977/1119375 The annoying thing is it's not like when looking at the £70k stingrays and knowing it's a pipedream at best. This one is easily attainable. So a kidney has to go. Or.....I wonder if my wife would notice if one of the twins was no longer around?... 1 Quote
AMT Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Love the shape of these sooo much. A neighbour mechanic had a relations black one here a few year ago and the sound...and how low it is when you sit in it ...lovely Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I love the old stingrays, I know someone who had a white one back in the 90's. looked just like that one. Was VERY expensive to run. and they handle like a sack of cack Quote
WhackyWill Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I also love Yank Tanks..but I'm fed up feeding V8..had a few... got a 4.6i Sport X5 at the moment and that's 12 MPG around town. :scare: Quote

NeilMH Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 We were followed back today by a GT40 in Gulf colours. Interesting sound display coming past the walls at Petworth. 1 Quote

Allan Zada Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I am not a fan of american cars at all. Most are beyond terrible in my opinion. But that is a good looking motor. I say go for it. Let your heart win this one Quote
Ricey Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Talking to a bloke who works with old cars the other day and he said they're actually very comfortable and very reliable. Mate with your virile todger you could raise that kind of cash selling man juice! Do it! Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Do it!! Sell a kidney, child or man juice? You offering to buy? Quote
Lexx Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 You buy one Paul....then I it loses value like most the cars you buy, I'll know not to get one! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 not a fan, I'd have a GT40, but not a stinger, but if it floats your boat, get it. Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 GT40 is way over my budget. Mustang umm thats a different story:) Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Even they are fetching up to £60k if done correctly! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Even they are fetching up to £60k if done correctly! and about £20k to build, not a bad mark up Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 A collector was selling a pair of them off on ebay back last year. They were nut a bolt jobs and had a big block 7 litre lump in. It was no slow coach either as it was tuned and moded. Bost were in access of £60k and both sold I believe. I remember when I was a young teenager walking through Guildford by the Jag place and there was a red GT40 for sale. It had a hand written notice on it saying. "Eats small Italian sports cars for breakfast" That was 40 years ago and I recon it will still give them a run for there money! Quote
