    The one I had a chance to drive in the 70s felt like I was sliding down the street on a cafeteria tray.

    Well they're made out of about the same material.

    I was drifting before people knew what to call it besides "An impending accident". Four speed small block with 1970's tech suspension...I get her sideways at will!

    Good news is this has new Koni shocks, the F41 suspension package and poly bushings all around. For a huge car it handles surprisingly well.

    The guy that ordered it in 1973 is our kind of man. Hottest small block engine available, four speed with the performance rear end, crank windows, no power steering, or brakes. My long suffering wife hates it. But man, it takes me back to my youth and you can't put a price on that.

    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?

    All rods have two bolts, I am sure you mean four bolt mains.
