@tsp159:

All the adjusting, shock valving, and ratios in the world won't change the fact that car is _hopelessly_ under-tired with the nannies turned off.

All the -hate- round here! Course, I should expect that I guess, jalopnik will pretty much let anybody post. I'm just surprised we didn't have

@boosted-lego-wagon:

I dunno, I'll bet the needle was WAY past 85 mph (did they still have itty bitty gubment mandated speedos that stopped at 85?)

Zac(h?) is a great guy, and my wife was one of the folks with a car there. More picks and Channel 2 news's take on it are here:

I've got two vettes. Got them well after I was married. Never affected my live life positively or negatively.

I'm assuming The Jalops will be all over the continues coverage of this? I _really_ want to see the condition under the wrapper...and then the eventual restoration as some schmuck with much more money than sense brings it back from the dead.
