A real head turner, this was a beautiful piece of art.  I loved taking the t-tops off and just cruising.  The acceleration left a little to be desired (cross fire injection?) and the gas mileage was, of course, crap.  But man, this car was so much fun it was worth it to me.  I hated to sell it when I came to Europe...

Pros: beautiful curves...
Cons: not very practical unless you're young and single

I love the glass t-tops, the leather interior, the variety of the colors for the collector's edition.  It's one cleek and sexy machine!

Pros: It does not show dirt easily, runs really well.  
Cons: You need to be sure and keep leather conditioner on the seats and steering wheel cover.  As it's an earlier model Vette you almost fall into the car to get in and getting out is sometimes a problem, but it's worth the extra effort! :-)

The car needs a lot of updating in the interior, there's a lot of squeaks and rattles. All of them are fixable. I already put in a new sound system in. At some point in the future there will be a better engine and transmission put in. The car is awesome like it is, but no car is ever too good for improvement.

Pros: There is no car out there with better body lines than this!
Cons: The engine is alright but really needs more power.

I've been restoring this for years and it is now red.  I'm almost done but it's been a lot of work.  It drives great but the engine is pretty loud (I'm not sure if that's good or bad).  Overall it is very fun to drive.

Pros: Very fun to drive.
Cons: Paying for the super gas is expensive
