Re: 86 CT-350 ?

Looks like a dealer threw some cheap stripes on a v6 base model. Even the lettering looks like something you would buy in Home Depot to put your address on your mailbox.

I would have been more impressed if he dropped Drew or Chazmans name.

Re: 86 CT-350 ?

"Impressive" to have a 4000 mile car with salvage title and in that poor of shape.

Must have been a pretty rough 4000 miles.

Carini..... Seems I've heard that name somewhere before...... Isn't he a real third gen guru?

If I owned that, first thing I'd do is take off those stupid *** stickers.

Also, I'm shocked no one has posted the Wayne Carini pic from the 344 mile thread!

Re: 86 CT-350 ?

Wayne Carini wouldn't know the difference from a Camaro and a Corvette. He does know European classics that most of us don't give a da$%& about. I wouldn't watch him if he was doing a show on my front lawn.

I agree with that. I do watch him though, probably every episode. He’s also pretty knowledgeable on pre-war American cars.

Re: 86 CT-350 ?

Can't agree on Wayne. Very knowledgeable, and I like the show. Would love to volunteer a week or two of my vacation as Roger's helper. FYI....F40 Motorsports has a host of Corvettes and a late model COPO Camaro for sale right now, so I think he knows the difference. The point of the show, I believe, is that he does buy, sell, show and trade in those circles (euro cars, American classics), and I don't think any other show on TV covers that. The network don't need to show you yet another show about Corvettes.


His only "offense" here is that he was at an event with "someone else" from the forum, who got a selfie with him. No other known association. Wayne does not deserve to be thrown under the bus on this forum in relation to the 344 mile thread.

You're right.

BTW, isn't Roger retiring or semi-retiring?

Re: 86 CT-350 ?

I'd pull the stupid stickers off, drop a lq4 in it and leave everything else alone. Even the wheels.

Nothing wrong with Wayne that changing the channel can't fix. He's just not terribly interested in the same type of cars I am.

Re: 86 CT-350 ?

I get it. Not for everyone for sure.

I just love early stuff. Was just at my neighbors house today looking over a '28 Pontiac he and his Dad have spent the winter working on. It's up and running, wood replaced, soft top replaced, interior redone, engine taken apart and reassembled, and assorted other repairs. Just very interesting to me to see how cars were designed and built 90 years ago.

Sorta, but it was beat a lot worse. Like if that car was eaten by a Jurassic Condor and then shat out again.
