Don't feel bad in the least. That era of Corvette was the worst in the model's long history. The base engine in '75 only had 165hp and the L82 maxed at 205. In "America's Sports Car." Pathetic. It was fortunate to be customized.

Whoops! Took a wrong turn, I could probably drive the course in the work van, but that would be really pushing my luck.

Did you know it's supposed to be from the movie "Corvette Summer"?
I thought the one in the movie was right hand drive. The one in the pic is left hand drive. Probably a copy?

Yeah, but they could have left the body along and modified this part instead. And the suspension. I know a couple guys that had mid 70s cars. Both got left behind by my parent's Chrysler Laser.
