Plus the Vettes from the 60s and 70s were pains in the ass. Electrical problems... vacuum operated headlight doors and wiper covers. I had 3. a 65 vert. with a 327 with a cam and headers along with Hooker side pipes that burned your leg. It was a wild ride. Fast and brutal. No heat. Nor radio. Roof leaked... Froze your but in the cold. But I couldnt stop driving it. I had a 70 T top that was made from 2 crashed cars and had a 2 bolt main 350. It was really a POS but... I drove it for 2 years as a DD and it never broke. Drove it in the snow without snow tires and everything.... Sold it for what I paid. The 69 27 vert was a beautiful car. I only drove it about 1,000 miles in a year because I was as likely to come home on a flatbed as under its own power. Electrical gremlins. I sold it for more than I paid. Spent more time waxing it than driving it. And was relieved when it sold. The first time I took it out I went east on Rt 78 to Newark airport. Smooth concrete roads then. 1976. I had the other 2 Vetts first and had an expectation of handling... I was wrong. I went way to fast in to a sweeping ramp and the car just went straight. I had the skill to downshift and nail it and throw the car sideways through the turn. But a normal person would have left 4 skid marks straight into the guard rail. So my opinions are not based on the potential ownership experience of a 427 car over a small block. Its more like how the cars treated me. The 65 was by far the most fun. The 70 was the best transportation but it was a garbage barge built out of crashed cars. The 69 was probably the coolest car I ever owned. Certainly the most special. But it was a terrible vehicle. It was great posing for pictures. If I could only buy 1 Vette.... It would be a 65 396. Coup or vert.

The 70 T top I had when I was 18. Younger women are more easily impressed... My best friend had a Malamute and I would take her with me. T tops off and the Malamute standing with her head out the top....You could get the girls 2 at a time with that setup. Fitting them and the dog in a 2 seater was a problem though. (That is a true story) The 427 didnt get driven enough to find out and the ladies arent impressed with your car on a flatbed no matter how cool it is. Women who are attracted by something as shallow as an automobile being cool... are less interesting than ones who at first wont even look at you because they think your an asshole with a big head or a weasel who needs the car as a phallic symbol....

So you don't think putting your pic of your Camaro SS on a dating profile is a good idea? Do you think Women even care about a Camaro SS or do they consider that cheap? |

Truth. I’d prefer to show up on a first date dressed nicely and driving my beat up Sierra and see how she reacts. If she’s not interested because of what I drive, she can move on to the next sucker.
