I love the 1996 C4 Grand Sport. Here's a very nice one on BaT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1996-chevrolet-corvette-grand-sport-8/

That's a beauty.  I remember driving that car a lot back in the days of the original Need For Speed computer game.

These lived on in Brazil with a re-styled body as Fords until 1971

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

That would be a nice car for a sporting drive, around a racetrack ;D

The only thing I would change is the gearing.

It's probably not as bad as you think with 23" tall tires. 
 It could use more rubber width, I don't know what fits though

This 240Z build is quite something.  Skip to the 2:45 mark to avoid the homey intro talk.

Nice build. Right down to the Momo competition steering wheel. I have that on my Smurf.

No scam here, just looooove  :love:

1977 was the very last year for a Beetle sedan in North America, and this one has period-perfect paint. This one goes into my dream garage, for sure!

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1977-volkswagen-beetle-8/


Current bid $9,900 with 6 days to go.   :fall:

13k$ on day later, I fully expect it to reach triple that ... at least. It has been mothballed, only 800 miles on the odo, even has the original - and cracked - tires.

Just sold for $26,250 USD ($36,760 CAD)!

That is a really cool. Wouldn't take too much space in the garage ...

I'll watch that.
