1969 Plymouth GTX Convertible Review Denver1969 Plymouth GTX Convertible Review Denver

Those who are looking at some iconic and famous cars would most certainly have a soft corner for the various models of cars that have come out from the tables of Plymouth. Amongst the many such cars which have ruled the roads of the country for many years, there is no doubt that the 1969 Plymouth GTX Convertible is a car that is well and truly revolutionary in more ways than one. Hence it would be interesting to find out what the various 1969 Plymouth GTX Convertible Review Denver Colorado articles have to say about this car, its features, and functions and how it was accepted by the people in those days. It would be pertinent to mention here that this mid-sized care was first named as Plymouth Belvedere and it became trimmer and it was rechristened as the GTX 440. This was presumably to appeal to those who believed in class and sophistication combined with power and muscle. The car basically was created to answer the various problems with regard to the engine. It was an advertisement of sorts and it this was how the GTX convertible came into being. Let us now look at the various changes which gave a new look to this car.

 

A Look At Plymouth GTX Body And Various Fixtures And Fittings

The hardtop body which had two doors was changed and it was fitted with fiberglass hood scoops which were simulated. It also featured racing stripes which were optional. Additionally it also came with a grilled which was blacked out. On the rear fender there was a new open gas cap installed. The 150 mph speedometer in the dashboard was a new addition along with the electric tachometer which also was optional. Those who were at the helm of designing the car had a specific instruction coming in from the marketing and sales team. It was about finding out ways and means by which the cars were made to look as wide as possible. They also had clear instructions that quad lamps were a must on the body of the cars.

 

A Few More Plymouth GTX Take Away Features

The 365 gross horsepower engine was well and truly the talking point. This was not an easy task but Chrysler was able to manage it with the help of bigger valves and the heads were also redesigned. The extra large throttle bores also helped the engine to generate much improved power along with improve air cleaner, ports and valves which were oversized and a completely overhauled cast headers. All this was well and truly appreciated because the size of the engine was reduced by around 14 cubic inches without compromising on power and thrust one bit.

 

Changes Which Were Pertinent In The 1969 GTX Convertible

Come 1969 Plymouth decided to have an additional cold-air induction package. It also came with a new grille and the real styling was also given a new look. The car also came with a new heavy duty batter, hood scoops, exhaust trumpets and quite a few other such features. However, only around 15600 cars were sold to the customers in 1969. This was perhaps because those who were keen on muscled cars were happy settling for less expensive options. The mood was not exactly exciting and Road Runner was selling around 5 times more because of a price differential ranging from $2,900 to $3,415.

 

The Turnaround Of The Plymouth GTX – Did It Happen

In spite of the best efforts it would be pertinent to mention that 1970 was the last year as far as GTX was concerned and that too as a unique model. Some changes were made to the car. The grilles got a new look and the hood and fenders also were given a new look. All this however led to the price of the car being increased to $3,535 and this resulted in the phasing out of the slow selling convertible. Therefore it would be pertinent to mention here that this saw the end of the glorious GTX convertible and new models and variants came into the market.

However, at the end of the day whenever when one talks about the best convertibles to hit the roads of the country over the past five to six decades, there is hardly any doubt that the name of GTX convertible will always be talked about.

1968 Ford Shelby GT500 – Denver King of the Road

July 15, 2016 by jbrass

1968 Ford Shelby GT500 – King of the Road

When it comes to Mustangs, there is really no such thing as a ‘bad’ one. Mustangs have been a favorite by many car enthusiasts for their classic line, sophisticated curves, as well as powerful engines. If you have ever seen the 2000 movie Gone in Sixty Seconds starring Nicholas Cage, you would know exactly how well Mustangs are built from the low-level tires to the sleek stretch of the hood. Of course, the “Eleanor” Mustang in Gone in Sixty Seconds is a 1967 Shelby so despite the close resemblance to the 1968 Ford Shelby GT500, there is really no comparison – the 1968 GT500 grabs the attention better and offers an engine that car enthusiasts will envy.

1968 Ford Shelby GT500 History

Dubbed as “King of the Road”, there are a few Mustangs rarer than the 1968 GT500. That is why it is not surprising that a lot of movies use this baby as an inspiration in the big screen. Prior to the 1968 GT500, however, Ford Mustangs were already a favorite for many, thanks to the sleek lines, the best-of-the-year engines, and of course – the fact that they are made by Ford.

Despite the fact that the 1968 was largely based from the 1967 Mustang Fastback, there are marked differences between the two. For one thing, the King of the Road boasts of a better engine under its hood and slight changes in the interior that speaks of that particular year has to offer.

The 1968 Shelby Mustang came after the stunning success of the pony from Ford. At this point in time, the pony was considered to be one of the best the car manufacturer had to offer. Ford and Carroll Shelby, however, felt that more improvements could be made. This is how the 1968 GT500 King of the Road came about as the 428 Police Interceptor engine came out and was immediately integrated into the 1968 design. For the 1969 model, however, the “King of the Road” moniker was dropped so despite the closeness of their designs, the fact is that the 1968 GT500 is the only “King” Mustang which is offered by Ford.

1968 Ford Shelby GT500 Style and Lines

The interior is not much different from the 1967 design it was inspired from. Obviously, some changes were made to make sure that the superiority of the 1968 can be seen – including a cobra-badge steering wheel. For the most part, however, the 1968 GT500 features a clean and large dashboard with enough leg room to make 6-footers happy. Power steering, air conditioner, AM radio, as well as tilt-away steering column are also available in the GT500 – all of which can be found in standard Mustang models.

Additional features such as Comfortweave upholstery and molded panels for the doors can also be spotted, but they are mostly additions that do not distract from the overall excellence of the Mustang. Of course, if you are the type who likes their creature comforts, the car is definitely a good choice.

Under the Hood

Boasting one of the most powerful engines to be released by Ford, the Shelby GT500 comes with the 428 Cobra Jet with a horsepower of 400 and a 7.0-liter V-8 with 440 pound-feet of torque. It has a manual transmission that offers a smooth operation, especially with an easy-to-maneuver steering wheel. Combining excellence in operation and engine, the Ford can go from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 6.5 seconds. For top speed, expect it to reach as much as 140mph. Yes, you might argue that this is not saying much considering the value of the cars today, but for 1968, this was an amazing feat. Doubled with the excellence of the design and the inarguably class of the 1960s going on 1970s, the Ford Mustang is one hell of a choice.

There is also an automatic transmission of this baby although if you really want to make the most out of the car, the manual 4-speed transmission is your best choice.

Size and Safety

Created in the days when there was no such thing as a ‘compact’ car, the 1968 GT500 boasts of a low-riding size and shape that offers sufficient room for the driver and the passengers. Even the trunk is wonderfully roomy, giving owners the chance to put in practically anything In the back and take them around without any problems.

Fortunately, this model was released on a time when car safety is already a primary concern. Created with state of the art seatbelts, powerful brakes, excellent suspension and other safety measures – the GT500 can offer you sufficient protection in the event of any problem. Of course, any damage to this car would be sacrilege so it is strongly advised that you be very careful when taking this car for a spin.

1968 Ford Shelby GT500 Prices

A classic car deserves a classically upward price. After all, the GT500 is built to look good at any point in time. Bring this baby on the streets of New York, Las Vegas, or Texas and you will be sure to pull the eyes of every person on the road. For this kind of advantage, the 1968 Ford Shelby GT500 pulls in around $189,000 to $200,000 at a nearly-mint or well-cared for condition. Of course, you will have to factor in the changes and updates made by the original owner – but you can be sure that very few will actually dare to make substantial changes with this classic.

Personality

All in all, the 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 “King of the Road” is named such because you just cannot help but look at it as it goes sailing on the pavement. The kind of car that1968 Ford Shelby GT500 can only be appreciated by true connoisseurs of the Mustang, the 1968 is a reminder of days when cars were not just used for transportation – they were a form of art.

Perfect for basically anyone who appreciates the classic beauty of the 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500, this baby does not come cheap – at least not in this day and age. With proper care,
however, you will find that the car also makes for an excellent investment with a price that is bound to go higher, especially since their numbers are dwindling fast. Those who are interested in the car will find it hard to locate one and should one become available – it is going to go fast!

This 1968 Ford Shelby GT500 is NOT a GT500KR “King of the Road” but it has been completely restored and it has earned the title “The World’s Fastest Shelby” when it broke all records in the 60’s.]]>

2005 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe Denver Review

Denver Introduction to Lamborghini Gallardo:

The Lamborghini Gallardo is one of the most popular and exquisite brand of sports car made in modern era. The many variants under this category were made by the makers of Lamborghini from the year 2003 to 2013. The car is named after a very famous breed of fighting bulls and has some of the most extraordinary features that you can get in a sports car.

The first generation of cars from the Gallardo family came with 5 liter 90 degree V-10 engines with 4961 CC. With the car, you get the options of two transmissions, one being the conventional 6-speed manual transmission, while the other one is semi-automatic robot-manual with an advanced six speed electro hydraulic control system. The main design of the car was designed by famous designer Luc Donckerwolke and based the design on the famous 1995 Cala by another famous Italian designer Italdesign Giugiaro.

Introduction of the 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe Update:2005 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe

For the model year 2005, Lamborghini introduced a lot of changes to the Gallardo car to specifically counter some dire criticisms which garnered from the owners as well as the press. These criticisms were mainly based on the very limited edition of Gallardo SE. The sturdy exhaust system was then changed to an even more sporty one which had a specially designed flap in order to make it super quiet in city roads, the old suspension was then revised, a new and improved steering rack was then fitted, the basic engine power was also amplified by 20 hp to a maximum of a whopping 520 metric horsepower. The biggest change that was made was a general lowering of gearing, particularly in 1st to the 5th. The end result was a much superior car which handled and turned better, even sounded better under extreme and full throttle and then the lower gearing and extra power made an already famous and fast sports car into an even faster one.

Lamborghini Gallardo Denver review:

The Gallardo’s beautiful body takes pretty awesome class geometry and makes it go wild with imaginations. There are more arcs and angles and trapezoids then even you can think of. The incredible cab-forward roofline design truly makes it look like two different cars merging in one single body with the curvy one above overhauling the more sturdy and boxy one below.

2005 Lamborghini Gallardo EngineIf you notice, even the starter motor sounds faster in Gallardo. You will just need to turn the key and you will feel the rush of the 303 cubic inch DOHC V-10 with 40-valve ignite. The engine of Gallardo settles very quickly on 1000-rpm idle.

The e gear system which sports six-speed system comes from the famous makers Marelli. Paddles on the great column ask for various shifts while hydraulic-controlled mechanical fingers change the different cogs in as little as a mere 0.0012 second. A button placed in the left of the column selects the reverse gear with great precision. The sharp and beautifully elegant bark of the computer-controlled throttle accompanies each and every downshift.

In the full-auto mode, the transmission of Gallardo is always one single step behind, downshifting after you step on it and upshifting as you spot any gap through the traffic. When the driver takes control of the paddles, you can feel the smooth and jerk free operation. But while parking you will need some extra precision. At that moment, the clutch engages fully and the vehicle lurches forward. If you push the gas pedal one time too many, then your car will hit the concrete.

If you are looking for the fastest and the easiest exit, Lamborghini recommends you of switching off traction control and then selecting the first gear and the smooth sport-shift mode for sudden and quick changes. The computer of Gallardo lets the engine to get an awesome 2400 rpm. You will feel the time stop around you, and the, eventually, the scenery around you will blur in a white stagnant sheet.

On the upshift paddle, you can get to a whopping 60 mph in mere 4.1 seconds and get to the point of 118 mph in just 12.4 seconds. The car can get you to 192 mph pretty easily and then the 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo Interiorspeedometer needle may twist a little. The cross-drilled rotors and the calipers which are packed within the 4 Pirelli slabs can easily slice 70 mph in 158 feet and can repeat it without any real effort. Apart from these, the car is really heavy and muscular. The weight of the car clocks at around 3560 pounds. But still you will not feel the weight while driving and a smooth joyride will accompany you whenever you take out your beloved Gallardo for a drive. Lamborghini has also lathered a little cushy frosting on the very sturdy and rock solid suspension of the Gallardo.

The Gallardo shows great performance even in Euro-bullet class. This beauty accelerates to 60 mph in only 0.3 second. The performance of some other sports cars by the other renowned manufacturers come short to Gallardo in many aspects, the looks being the one and the seamless performance being the other among many.

The doors of the Gallardo swing nearly perpendicular on the normal hinges fitted horizontally. The seats are also designed to suit your comfort and you don’t need to be a gymnast to climb out of it. The steering column of Gallardo manually tilts and also telescopes to give you a better view. You will also get the extra headroom to provide you with the extra comfort for fast and long driving.

Classic Cars For Sale Buyers Guide

Muscle cars for sale Denver, Arvada, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Westminster, Boulder, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills, and other areas of Colorado buyers guide . The popularity of these cars has surged in sales and purchases, rising inquiries, as well as many reviews on different types of models. Truth is an American classic muscle car is not your ordinary car. It is a timeless machine which continues to increase in value. However, determining the best and most suitable car for your needs can be a daunting task. And the reason you need to take time researching and understanding the cars.

The Muscle Car Craze

American muscle cars have always been envied by many people. In fact, owning one of these vehicles is a dream for many people and many will do just about anything to own this beautiful and timeless machinery. Some simply love the glamorous and classic look; others love the humongous power and torque generated by the able powerhouses, while some want to be part of a growing trend. This is why many people are always looking for classic cars for sale online as well as offline. However, before putting your hard-earned dollars on any car, you need to focus on the following issues:

Understand an American Classic Muscle Car

Though they have been around for decades many people still don’t exactly know what defines a classic American muscle car. And due to this many end up buying the wrong product. For a car to fall under this definition it needs to have been manufactured at least three decades ago. Here we are talking about the 1960s and 70s. However; it is also possible to come across such models today though it’s very rare. The car in question should produce lots of power and torque and the engine will most likely be a V8 churning 400 plus horsepower and torque. Another thing is the car should have been manufactured in America.

Finding the Right Muscle Car

There is more to buying a classic American Muscle car than just the looks, and failing to follow the right procedure may lead to you getting a worthless piece of metal or “cabbage on wheels”. During the search or purchase it is always recommended to seek help from an established classic muscle car expert such as Steel Affairs. The specialist will help you ascertain whether the car is genuine, the structural integrity, market value, as well as cost of rebuilding the car. In addition to owning a car of your dreams, you also have peace-of-mind you invested in the best machine.

Valuing a Muscle Car

Valuing a American Muscle car is usually tricky since there are few models in the market. Unlike an ordinary car where you need to look at market statistics to know its value, the real value of a American Muscle car is in its condition and cost of restoration. The true worth is determined by how much has been put in to have the car in its current condition-the more work, the higher the value. It is always important to keep a record of the costs incurred in restoring the car so as to have the right value. It doesn’t matter if it is a small charge such as $ 10 dollars for some bolts or nuts as this will eventually give you the car’s true value.

Common Types of Muscle Cars

Classic muscle cars in America came in all manner of shapes, sizes, and performance. However, they all were/are known to produce huge power and reach mind-boggling speeds. Each type comes with its unique features, specs, pros as well as cons, and unless you work with an expert you are most-likely going to miss some vital aspects. Some popular choices include Ford Mustang, Plymouth Barracuda, The Pontiac Firebird, Corvette, Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Charger, Chevelle and Dodge Charger, Chevrolet El Camino, Pontiac GTO and many others.

Choosing the Ideal Muscle Car

Finding the right classic muscle car can be a big challenge. Besides following what your heart wants, you need to pay close attention to the car’s condition, value, ease-of-restoration, whether it qualifies to be called a “classic muscle car”, and accounting for its worth after a restoration. The best way to deal with the many challenges is working with a reputable firm such as Steel Affairs. The company has been in the industry for more than 30 years and has helped many enthusiastic and passionate individuals find and own the right American classic muscle cars.
Finding the ideal American muscle car shouldn’t be a struggle. You don’t have to keep guessing the true value of the car. Also, restoring the classic to its original state shouldn’t be a major headache. What you need is deal with a competent, trustworthy, and reputable company that has been in this industry for many years.

Exotic Cars for Sale Denver Colorado Buyers Guide – Steel Affairs

Classic Cars For Sale Buyers Guide

Having at least one exotic car is every Denver car lover’s dream, no matter what age or gender they may be. The truth is that an exotic car is not just a status symbol – it is also an excellent investment with the benefit of increasing in value with proper care.

How to Buy an Exotic Car

Consider Previous Owners

As a general rule, it is best to purchase exotic cars that had the least amount of owners. More owners mean that there is likely more wear and tear inside and outside the car. There are even those who make changes on the car that tend to ruin an important feature of the exotic. Make sure to ask the seller the history of the vehicle before making a decision.

Get an Inspector

Unless you are already great with exotic cars, the presence of an inspector is important when checking your vehicle of choice. Chances are you are already good when it comes to basic car, but an inspector will be able to provide you more information as to the ideal status of a particular model and the history attached to it. This should give you better leeway in eventually making your choice.

Original Use

Not all exotics were made for luxury driving. Some of them were originally made by their manufacturers for driving off track, taking the rough patches of dirty road or for driving with sports in mind. The point is that you will have to over-analyze the historical value of the car so that you would be able to better appreciate its build. By knowing the original use of the exotic, you will also have a deeper understanding of the different parts and why they are there to begin with.

Note Possible Problems

An additional advantage of knowing the history of the car is an anticipation of possible problems. Note that exotics are not far from perfect so after being used by another, there are common problems that may spring out from every model. For example, the Lamborghini often has an issue with the clutch so you will have to check that before purchase, otherwise you might have to change the clutch later on at an additional expense.

Maintenance and Warranty Documentation

While seeing the car yourself is great, it is nice to have documentation of what exactly happened to this car. A maintenance documentation will give you an idea on what repairs have been made, what repairs will be made and which ones you will have to pay for in the near future. The Warranty Documentation pretty much says the same thing albeit an expanded version. Pay particular attention to the service record. Ideally, the car should NOT be repaired for the same thing twice – otherwise you will have to be more careful about the checking issue. Also note the company that performed the repairs of the car.

Cost of Repairs Made

Note that the internet is usually a great place to judge how much an exotic would cost based on statistics. However, there are instances when an exotic car would cost more than the average – mainly due to the repairs done to it. Damage to an exotic car requires repair to bring it back to mint condition and such repair may be added to the total cost of the product. Unfortunately, that is not an expense that can be easily bargained out.

Your Exotic Options

The good news is that there are literally dozens of exotic cars available today. For first time buyers, there are several exotics that would be perfect for you:

2005 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe

The 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe 493-hp, 5.0-liter V-10, aluminum space-frame construction and all wheel drive. 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. This particular model is an E-gear with steering wheel mounted paddles and the rear engine glass option.

2007 Ferrari F430 F1 Spider

F430 Ferrrari has a 4.3L V8 gasoline engine .The engine’s output specifications are: 491 hp at 8500 rpm and 343 lbft of torque at 5250 rpm, 80% of which is available below 3500rpm. The F430 has a top speed in excess of 196 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, 0.7 seconds quicker than the F360

Factory Five Racing GTM Exotic Supercar

This is an incredible Exotic Supercar that is a rare find with E-Rod LS3, 6.2 Liter VB, with 511hp and 483ft/lbs of torque dynoed at the crankshaft. A true super car, 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds and 200mph top end speed make it truly exciting to drive.

Of course, those are just some of the exotic cars in the market today. Steel Affairs has been matching customers with the perfect Exotic car that fits their needs for 30 years just give Alex Neues a call at 303-656-6534 and let him know what you are looking for.

1980 Porsche Targa 911 SC

This beautiful 911 is nearly 100% original the interior door panels have been modified and a an after market deck has been installed. This 911 SC Targa has just recently had the top end of the motor rebuilt and runs phenomenally.

Your Insurance Concern

Considering the value of these cars, it is not surprising how first-time owners think about the projected value when it comes to insurance. Ideally, you should insure that car for its cost and not the cash value after depreciation. This way, you would be able to recover what you actually paid for the model. As to companies offering insurance – you might have to do a bit of research for that. Dealers of exotic cars can often provide you with good deals when it comes to insurance. Note though that as with regular car insurance, driving history comes heavily into play.

Buying Your First Exotic

Exotic or classic cars are not as expensive as one would think as discussed below. The trick is to be able to catch them and make your purchase through a reputable dealer. This is crucial since the high demand for classic cars causes mass fraudulence in the market. By sticking with dealers who have years of experience in the business, you will be sure to get exactly what you paid for. Companies like Steel Affairs have been in the market for 30 years and can therefore provide you unequal service when it comes to cost and quality.

1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Denver

May 26, 2016 by jbrass

<![CDATA[1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Even though great changes were missing from this model because of successive releases, this car fulfilled what it set out to achieve and brought significant improvements in few crucial aspects that were criticized earlier. This release came long after its due because Chevrolet had already begun to lose its hold in the automobile arena.

What’s the story?

One of the reasons why the models prior to the 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible received criticism is because many claimed that the only thing that the models could offer was a decent drag strip performance. There was nothing else that it could provide as there was a severe lack of ability to corner properly and come to a halt. Since the release in 1954, this model received many refinements until 1959, but the criticisms only kept mounting because Chevrolet was not sure what the engineers were collectively doing wrong. It wasn’t until 1960 that this model was released and put an end to all criticism, making way for a path to create history all over again.

First impression

Compared to the releases that happened in the 50s, 1961 Corvette convertible had a rather distinctive appearance characterized by sharp lines on its body and clear-cut corners. The previous models looked rather “plain” if they were placed side-by-side with this model as they were built for an era that apparently passed long before General Motors had realized. This distinctive body design helped to pull the crowd’s attention, as the rear end of this model became a showstopper because of its uniqueness that had been derived from the Sting Ray, which was a Corvette model meant for racing. This model is visually appealing and had shown great promise of reviving the ailing series.

Exterior visuals and changes

1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible boasted of a few more changes on its outer body apart from the aggressive and sharp detailing elements. Front fascia of this model practically remained unchanged, but new rear bumpers that were added, blended exquisitely with the overall body design; not to forget the exhaust tips were placed under this car’s body instead of the tip of the bumpers like in the previous version. This move had made the car highly fashionable while retaining its classic Corvette visuals that people had come to love over the years.

The body was made of fiberglass and had a smooth finish that would appeal to every sports car lover. Overall, this model indeed looked very impressive.

Cabin design and other features

The interior of 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible didn’t receive many changes and looked quite similar to the past versions. However, feeling wise, seats were very comfortable and designed quite remarkably for maximum style. The idea behind most minor touchups in the cabin space was Motorama Touch that brought the best driving and passenger experience possible. The instrument cluster was prominent and easy to read as it came with a speedometer, temperature gauge, gas gauge, ammeter, and oil pressure gauge. Other features contributed to the interior package by being hits and misses; they are as follows:

Hits

• Fully functional parking brake light that warned the driver if parking brake was on

Seats with 33 inch aft and fro movement, making for enough legroom for passengers

High-quality radio with fantastic sound

Clutch operation was smooth at all times regardless of the speed of the car

Hardtop gives great vision from inside the vehicle

Red colored upholstery to give a luxurious feeling inside

Misses

The radio was placed far inside the instrument panel, making it difficult to reach

Awkwardly positioned clock on the console

Some wind noise was felt if the windows were rolled down

Engine and performance

1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible five engine variants, each capable of producing different horsepower. These engines were made to satisfy the requirements of car lovers who want to use this vehicle for their own purposes.

1. The Standard engine came with a single 4-barrel carburetor and with the capability of producing 230 hp.

2. The next engine offered 245 hp with an engine with twin 4-barrels

3. Another engine delivered a maximum of 270 hp with a twin 4-barrel engine

4. Around 275 hp could be achieved with an engine, equipped with fuel injection technology

5. Final engine variant came with fuel injection as well and produced 315 hp

Along with the engines, this car also provided a choice in transmission systems as there were three types in total. 3-speed synchromesh, synchromesh of 4-speed, and last but not least Powerglide transmission. The five axle ratios in total were available; they were – 4.56:1, 3.70:1, 4.11: 1, 3.55:1, and lastly, 3.36:1. There is no doubt that the four-speed Corvette transmission was one of the best in the car market as it offered appropriate ratio to the driver along with tremendous cornering ability.

Final word

With better cornering ability than cars available in the market, 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible indeed proved itself to be a vehicle worth cherishing. Breakthrough in engineering over the previous releases, this car once again brought the Corvette lineup into the mainstream and people started to buy it once again. There is simply no match for the Corvette as far as its value for money is concerned as this model offered great fuel economy that could go up to 11 mpg in city drive and 17 mpg on Highway. That’s not all, Corvette convertible had the power of going 0 to 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds; talk about power! With accurate steering and solid brakes, this model offered a great flexibility to the riders to drive the car as they see fit. The engineers of General Motors had indeed done an excellent job in reviving one of America’s famous sports cars, which still holds the helm even in this generation.
