At the turn of the key, this corvette roars to life and begs to be
driven. The motor is dialed in and pulls strong, the transmission
shifts proper, and the rear wheel drive applies the power to the
pavement and shoots straight. Above that, the suspension has been
be built/bushed and is tight, the steering is taught and the brakes
brake strong and straight.

collector car market. The design is like no other car ever built.

never offered at that time. Documentation includes owner's manual
