Toy Chevy's (was: Apple IIe for $700)

Actually, the fiberglass body of the older Vettes is probably as heavy or heavier then a comparable steel body. Fiberglass was chosen for its ability to be formed into more attractive shapes. A concept Ford has had a hard time grasping. Meanwhile I'll pit my Chevy against your Fraud (probably a Rustang, right?) any day of the week and twice on Sundays! :) Erik -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of R.

I heard they had to use fiberglass to make it capable of reasonable performance for a Chevy. Aye, P.T. Barnum would have loved the concept... pay a lot of money and don't get a real automobile (although, as we all know, real automobiles are no longer manufactured, but plenty of suckers still pay a fortune to buy the modern pseudo-automotive rubbish). I realize the superiority of Fords to Chevy's, so, go ahead, call me a Heathen as well... and I'll accept it as a fine compliment. :-) -- Copyright (C) 2002 R. D.
