As I grow old gracefully (I like to think anyway) I am buying things I could not afford as a younger man. I wanted one of these in High School but was uninsurable. So I schlepped to school in a 1966 Mustang wishing it was a Corvette. (and yes, I knew I was blessed with the Mustang) I am not really a Chevy Guy, but the L-82 motor is actually a pretty nice piece of work. Four bolt rods, "pink" no less, forged crank, 9.0 compression ratio...for the era a good engine.

Always entertaining, mildly offensive
IANative: Indeed, when you grab Brent (or he grabs you), it feels like liquid unobtanium wrapped in rawhide... whereas Greg is just solid muscle wrapped in hate, seasoned w/ snuff and a little lead.

The car I wanted to buy as a kid and couldn’t pull off was a Volkswagen Karmen Ghia that was for sale on my street. Why oh why could it not have been a corvette or a Porche or something nice?

That Corvette looks very clean! If that interior is stock, wow it was kept in great shape.
My parents had a karmann ghia before I was born. I have heard many stories that made me think it was a POS. Maybe just this one?Common sense is not a common virtue!
