Default A 1980 Corvette just for winter...

or perhaps some off road wheeling?

"For the guy that wants the great looks and curves that late C3 Corvettes are known for, but still wants to maintain that “I can go anywhere” mentality that a four-wheel drive vehicle offers no matter what the road conditions are, I present to you this 1980 Corvette 4×4 that was recently spotted for sale on Craigslist."

The original listing was from December of 2012, but this is what it said...

The Corvette is located in Brighton, MI and the seller is asking $10,900. And if you don’t have that kind of scratch lying around, the seller is open to trades as well.

I have no idea where it is now or if it is for sale.

I know what you mean, but "back in the day", they were just old cars. In 1969, Hurst Performance, in conjunction with Chrysler Corporation, built a couple hundred Barracuda fastbacks, with a 440 engine (they also did a batch of Darts with 440s). I knew someone who had one. It was his DD, he put about 100,000 miles on it, over a 3 year period, then sold it to another fiend of ours, who used it for a winter car............
