:iagree:

There's some bunk in that write up. The "dies" had to be pretty cheap soft lead castings and the fire pretty hot to destroy them.

I think the company folded because no one wanted such a POS.

Umm... Twinnie and Steve, was that really necessary? I'd rather see 2 OT posts for every 1 good post than... um, other OT pics.

The 4-door was supposed to be the 'family' corvette, before they realized how fugly it is. There are only about 4 originals in the world. I doubt this is one of them.
