I am surprised to say I never heard of a Corvace. Not surprised that Shelby took the que from it to build the AC Cobra.

What happened to all the previous year comparisons? I can't find them.

Default Re: 58 vette!!!

In Nov of 1971 I had just returned from back to back tours of VN then a year in Okinawa. I was at Ft. Hood TX for about 3months and was riding a new 750 Honda 4. Which at the time was the fastest thing on the road. I had the chance to purchase a quite nice 58 Vette with the 270 Dual quads from a buddy who was leaving to Korea. The cost was going to be $450. whice was not a bad price for a nice vette. Well I was about ready to reenlist so I passed it up and two months later I was in Korea up on the DMZ running all over in Tanks. I wonder what I would of done with it if I had gone ahead and got it? Stored at Mom's place, Maybe. I went thru a lot of fast cars back then so I doubt I would have kept it long after I returned from Korea.
