I think some of the modern Corvette convertibles are "red-necky" but I'd love to have a 1970s Stingray:
Those classic muscle cars are awesome. Personally, I'd rather have a newer Corvette. My first car was a 1969 Mustang Mach I, that I sold shortly after turning 16 and it was probably one of the best decisions I ever made, and not just because it was the last Ford I will ever own.
I like cars that are good to drive, and the classic cars from back in the day are fun, but they are a lot more dangerous than newer cars. About 6 months after I got my license, driving my old Camaro (a '96 SS named Lucile that I had just spent about 4 hours putting a coat of wax on and detailing) an elderly woman pulled out in front of me when I was traveling on a narrow two lane road and hit me head-on and I was going about 40. The impact hurt but I walked away with minor injuries.
In this video, there is a demonstration of a 2009 Malibu in a head-on collision with a 1959 Bel-Air (spoiler alert) in a real life scenario with these 2 cars, the occupant in the 2009 Malibu would have likely only suffered minor injuries while the occupant in the Bel-Air would have likely been killed on impact. I had the bug for old cars though and when I started working as an auto mechanic, I wanted to goof around with a classic muscle car so I picked up a '71 Chevelle 454 SS and it was cool, other than getting 8 miles to a gallon if I was taking it easy, no AC, an older stereo that I never upgraded, and while I was driving always having the thought in the back of my head that if I got into an accident I would be in a world of hurt, if I was lucky. So yeah, been there and done that with the older cars (other than wrecking them luckily) and they're awesome IMO to have as a trailer queen or nice collectible showpiece, but in practicality, they are not the best vehicles to drive around. And now I'm reliving my youth with Myesha, a 2002 Camaro SS, and she is safe as proven by her predecessor Lucile who protected me from
a scenario similar to this.
