Yessir it is. Dads 1970 complete resto and 1971 l parts car in the very back.

He also has another 1971.

Somewhat of a tragic story. The non photoed car is currently getting stripped down for paint. It was on a tow truck and a tree limb fell on it. Insurance called it an act of god and gave dad $3.5k. Messed up quite a bit of body work. He’s getting it fully repainted by the same guys who did the orange one in the background.

I understand the tow company can’t prevent what happened it it, but it’s somewhat annoying because they took it down a dirt as well. Had they avoided the dirt road with a classic car on the bed, none of this would have happened. Perhaps I am being petty, but oh well. I won’t be using them anymore.

So we're kicking off 2025 with a Vinfast VF8
First one I've seen in the wild in the metro area

I'm still amazed how Vietnam domestic car manufacturing hit US soil before Chinese *brand domestic manufacturing did

Here's my C7 taken in Lanesboro, WI this summer on a Corvette run.

I NEVER should have sold her.

Went for an evening run by the Canal and just had to park and talk to the guy who owned this beautiful, original Corrado;

Looks like a G60 (no bulge on the hood). I still swoon over these. Love the Corrado.

The gentleman owns TWS Motors, a shop specializing in TR8's and related vehicles. He's a car addict, we talked for a long time.

I love the G60. Had one swapped into my Cabriolet with a 16V transmission.

Loved it too. The sound was unique and not everyone liked it. Mine was black on black........then i drove a VR6 Corrado SLC and it was all over.

Gonna look for those photos. Didn't have phone cameras back then so gotta look in old boxes.

When I swapped the cab, I rebuilt, ported, and pullied the g-lader. Deleted the boost return pipe and it made all kinds of fun noises.

I also broke two 8V 020 transmissions and ripped the front transmission mount out of the radiator support.

What a fun car.
