A Car Made In Heaven – The Corvette

Being raised in Detroit, the motor town, I got to see a lot of classic autos for sale.  Folks would drive around in Trans Ams, Firebirds, Mustangs, and all those alternative Yank muscle vehicles.  The difficulty was that during the winter, Michigan uses many tons of salt to resolve its ice issues.  This rots the cars, causing them to rust prematurely.  The one model that I gained the utmost respect for was the automobile that never appeared to age the eternally youthful Corvette.  With their fiberglass bodies, even 1962 Corvettes for sale looked to be in tip-top condition. 

From the time I used to be a teen, it was my dream to possess a Corvette for sale.  One of my friends was very into Trans Am’s, but for me that wasn’t where it was at.  Corvettes were so cool.  They combined the grunt of the American muscle cars with an exotic, sporty look.  Although the latest Corvettes were awesome, the old ones are my fave.  I wasn’t a big fan of used cars for sale in general, but old Corvettes, with their exaggerated sensual curves, were dream machines to me. 

Nevertheless, I did not have lots of money.  New vehicles For sale were out of the problem of course.  Even most classic Corvettes , however , were beyond my.  I had to get a cheap used automobile, or I would not have any auto.  I kept away from the lots that specialized in Corvettes for sale.  Almost all of those were visited by connoisseurs, and that drove the price up.  Instead, I went to some nearby used car lots till I found it : a beat up but drivable 1973 Corvette.  I knew that it wasn’t in good shape, and that it would probably take a lot of work, but I was still overjoyed when I found it.  In fact , there were not many Corvettes for sale within my price range. 

One of the things that you have to realize when you buy Corvettes for sale is that the body nearly always looks better than what’s going on within.  That isn’t to assert Corvette don’t ware well they do.  The issue is simply that, barring a major crash, a fiberglass Corvette body will last forever.  If you really need to know if the car is in fine condition, you have to get under the hood.  When I did, I was decidedly sad.  It really needed a lot of work.  Nevertheless, I knew some people with experience in cars to show me everything I wanted to know.  I took it to buy class, and worked on it after college.  Soon, I had one of the meanest machines on the road.
