American Classic Car Sale Discusses Corvettes For Sale

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

As we have discussed before here on American Classic Car Sale, an ad that reads Corvettes For Sale is one that every American I have ever known has at some time in their life wanted to answer. To buy a Corvette would mean you have attained a certain level of success in life.

The Corvette is like no other car in the world. This American icon will never be converted to a family car. This is if there are any children in the family. The Corvette will also never be any good as a truck. They do have powerful engines, except for the first years, but we won’t mention that. The engines were made to just go fast. They do have torque but not pulling power, or at least not like a truck of comparable engine displacement.

The Corvette will also never be an off road vehicle or a four by four. I can’t even imagine an off road Corvette. The Corvette with its long sleek road hugging body is at its best when going down the road fast. Even without a fancy paint job when a Corvette goes by heads will turn.

I have been in a few and my favorite was a 1963 C2 version with the split rear window. The 247 under the hood never had a problem breaking the wheels loose and heads turned around every corner.

To date General Motors has stopped production of the Oldsmobile, the makers of the 442, and Pontiac the makers of the Firebird, Trans Am and GTO. If Chevrolet or the Corvette ever goes then I will for sure know that the people in charge of GM have lost their minds. Corvettes For Sale are ads every American must answer at least once in their life time.
