With the insane prices people get for random used “sports” cars from the 1970s/1980s, it amazes me that the C4 Vette is as cheap as it is. But, cheap is cheap, and I’m cheap, so save your money on that Buick GNX or Porsche 928 and get a Corvette instead. Find this 1987 Chevrolet Corvette […]
When someone calls their Corvette a “FlatVette”, you instantly think of the Jerry Palmer and Dave McLellan designed C4 Corvette that is the flattest of all Vettes. However, today’s FlatVette comes from the C3 body style…complete with the swooping fenders and haunches you’d expect from the Stingray. However, today’s Flat comes from under the hood […]
This next car had me do a double take. And then check to see if it was a scam. How is it possible that a custom car built by legendary George Barris could possibly sell for less than a new Honda Civic? Maybe a really crusty Barris custom that needs total restoration built for his […]
I love the smell of custom corvette in the morning…smells like…lunacy. You think we’ve jumped the shark on this one…well, it’s a continuation of Loony Labor Day and it that superb combination of Coors Light, C3Vette and Fiberglass. The seller calls this one a Mako Shark, but it looks more Maaco Shark to me. Find […]
The C3 generation Corvette might not be the most desirable of all the 8 generations of Corvettes…but it is the most Breadvan’d of the Vettes. Breadvan’d…you say? Tell me more. A breadvan isn’t a van whereyou drive around delivering bread…actually it is…but the breadvaning we are talking about here is when sports racing cars from […]
Could a car be anymore stereotypically 80s Florida than a white C4 Corvette with painted salad shooter wheels? Maybe if it came with a gold chain and sleeveless undershirt? Whatever it comes with, I want to remove the T-top and blast some Mötley Crüe on cassette. I would have suggested listening to Autograph but they […]
We continue our long 4th of July Weekend over here at Daily Turismo headquarters with another classic piece of Americana. What could possibly be more American than building something amazing, cool, radical, and then, letting it slowly rot into disrepair? The faded paint and crusty undercarriage is such a fabulous parallel to the USA road […]
I was watching an old episode of “The Scarecrow and Mrs King” the other night (streaming it through some free streaming service, can’t imagine the last time that show was broadcast in any manner) and I noticed that the leading lady (Kate Jackson) has an incredible mullet, the Scarecrow (Bruce Boxleitner) has marvelously plastic hair, […]
The Callaway Corvette we posted earlier today was a bit overpriced, so I’m going to make up with the cheapskates in the room (ahem…I’m one of them…the king to be precise). Anyway, this next car is cheap…really cheap…like 10 years ago priced, and I like it. A C4 Corvette for $5k that only has a […]
The story of the famous Callaway C4 Vette goes something like this: A racer turned driving instructor named Reeves Callaway bolted a turbo system on a BMW 320i and loaned the car to a Car and Driver journalist who wrote a one page article on the beast. At the time, the number of folks who […]
