It's actually a much prettier color in the sun, and is one of those car colors that's very hard to photograph properly.<br />http://www.corvetteblog.com/archives/corvette-events-marina-blue-1967-corvette-sting-ray.htmldrjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-43199286141024618912011-11-24T11:24:43.231-08:002011-11-24T11:24:43.231-08:00I can't imagine what a marina blue color on a ...I can't imagine what a marina blue color on a car looks like. Anyway, I'm hooked on reading blogs like this. LOL. First cars are the best. These blogs pull you back to the memories of your teen years. :DPenny Geisthttp://www.chiconissan.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-90768793519521448202011-10-15T14:23:40.242-07:002011-10-15T14:23:40.242-07:00Thanks for 'chipping in' on the meme- And ...Thanks for 'chipping in' on the meme- And yeah, trailing throttle oversteer was something you learned rather quickly in a Corvair (especially on gravel roads!!!)... Re the insurance, try $1200/yr for a Corvette in the early 70s!!!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-65087330949470800312011-10-14T22:04:34.725-07:002011-10-14T22:04:34.725-07:00Heh.

You could wind it up until the valves floated and it just wouldn't run any faster - but it never died. A fifty cent piece could shut the one barrel carb down. One might think it might just accidentally make a few mpg, but a few was right - about 11 to 12 was all it would do. I put bucket seats, a Hurst shifter, Grant steering wheel, chrome wheels and a JC Whitney AM/FM 8track in it. Lots of memories good and bad wound up in that ol' hunk of metal.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.com
