Did candy companies give out "pimp your ridiculous ride" scholarships a couple years ago or something? With the Lemonhead car, the Reese's one and I'm pretty sure I saw an M&M car a few months ago I'm starting to think that there was some creative "urban" marketing going on.

I totally accept flashy with branding for clothing manufacturers, sports franchises, video games and the like. That makes sense as some of those brands can be interpreted as an indication of social status or loyalty to a team or a community. That kind of stuff I can understand completely. People wear those logos on their clothes and make those products part of their lives and their identity.

The candy branding is just so arbitrary that I can't see someone putting any amount of time or effort into tricking out their donk with Sour Patch Kids unless there was some other incentive, perhaps by a third party trying to reach out to an underserved market.

Let's put it this way, I've never met someone dressed in head to toe Raiders gear that was paid to dress that way and I've never met someone with candy or soft drink logos all over their body that wasn't.

I thought it had to do with selling drugs -- if you're looking for some and you see the M&M donk (for example) give it a wave and you'll be sorted out. It makes a certain amount of sense. There wouldn't necessarily be drugs in the car, but the guy driving it will get in touch with someone who has them.

1979 T-top Corvette 38k miles - $5900 (Portland)

I am looking to sell a 1979 L82 T-top convertible Corvette. It is a 5-speed manual transmission with black leather interior. The exterior is dark metallic blue with metal flakes. It is a stock 350 engine with 38k original miles on it. It has always been garaged and only 2 owners. Recent engine tune up and new brakes. I am looking to sell for listed price but also accepting OBO. The car is currently stored at the Oregon coast but can arrange a viewing for serious inquiries only. There are no leaks in the t-tops and no oil leaks either. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks!


A C3 with a stick that isn't over $10K?? :monocle:

Either something's seriously wrong with it, or this guy's been paying attention to Craigslist lately, noticed that higher-priced older Corvettes seem to just linger on and on, and wants to actually get it sold.

(Could be worse. There's a guy been trying to sell a 280Z for $8200 for the past year or so. To be fair, it looks really nice. But $8200 nice?)

Anyway I emailed him. Kinda curious to see if he really meant to type "5 speed" or if he just typoed there.

If there were that fragile then they must have been some how different than the t5 found in mustangs because they handled the stock v8 power just fine in them. I have driven the stock v6 camaro before and it was very, very slow. I just don't see how they could kill one. Must be an exaggeration.

They made a shitload more torque than you realize. GM would put the T-5 behind the 305 in Camaros, but never behind the 350 - and never in the Corvette. Original stick in that car would've been a four-speed.

Fun fact: No Corvette was ever built new with a five-speed. Two-speed automatics, three and four speed autos and manuals, a ZF 6-speed, the T-56 and whatever current variant (6060?) six-speed manuals, and the current 6L80E six-speed auto. They even did the Doug Nash 4+3 four-speed with an overdrive hung off the back, but never an actual five-speed.

Since when have C3 vettes been worth $10k+? I remember when you could pick them up for under $5k in decent shape. They're the runt of the Corvette litter by far--the only redeeming quality is the exterior shape and even that can be a little sketchy.

The only sub-$5K Corvettes - any generation - I've seen listed on the internet in the past year or so have looked really rough. It might just be the Pacific Northwest and bad sellers. Some of these listings keep getting reposted for several months at the same price.
