Yeah right

Just go buy and old school Chevy or Buick clunker.

Do not downgrade a corvette, sell it.

Yeah, let's go backwards. 4 speed to 3 speed. 350 to 327. FI to carb. Mufflers terminating right under your seats. All for no reason other than just to go "old school". I hope you like carbon monoxide poisoning.

Starting to smell like

around here.
