Magic Words Corvette For Sale
Just the words “Corvette for sale” bring back so many memories. It is hard to decide which Corvette is my favorite. But undoubtedly, one of the earliest is of a banana yellow one. A draftsman that worked for my father owned it. A beautiful 1969 stingray that had the mako modification kit added on it. I could never forget what looked like a menacing grin on from the front grill. It just looked mean. Along with the front modifications were the wheel-well flaring and the spoiler on the back. This was the baddest ride this pre-teen had ever seen. To top off the looks, it had my favorite wheels, mags.
Back then I just listened to him when he described what he had done to make it go faster while my eyes just enjoyed that great piece of eye candy. He emphasized the engine and certain components that helped the performance. I remember thinking why do those things? It doesn’t make it look any better. No one can see inside an engine. Yes, sooo naive was I!
I decided to learn more about why a high-rise cam with roller lifters meant so much to him. I also found out that the great-looking side pipes had an actual performance function. In time, I learned to really appreciate his car and all he had done.
There are a lot of great looking cars out there but if the performance package is not there or not adjusted and tuned right, it will be like most show Harleys I know of. They look great but need a truck to move because they are all show no go.
But that Corvette for sale was both show and go.
