Chevrolet Corvette 1970 Nānā

A ʻo ia ka mea a ka mea nona ka Corvette 1970 ʻo Glen Jackson i ʻike maikaʻi loa. ʻO nā maka ʻālohilohi paha o ka mahalo a me ka huāhuā, ka ʻūhū ʻeha o ka naʻau o ka ʻenekini, ka manaʻo kūikawā ma ke alanui, a i ʻole ka hilahila o ka haki ʻana i ka hola wikiwiki ma kekahi o nā ala nui loa o Sydney.

No Jackson, ʻo ka lawe ʻana i ka mea ʻino me ka maikaʻi ua waiho iā ia i paʻa a aneane mihi i kāna kūʻai. "I ka wā i loaʻa mua ai iaʻu, i ka wā aʻu i kiʻi mua ai, ua haki ia i loko o ka tunnel M5," wahi āna. “He pilikia wela loa ia. Ua paʻa wau i loko o ke kaʻa kaʻa M5, ua hoʻopōʻino."

"Ua hopohopo wau, ʻaʻohe wahi e hele ai i loko o kēlā tunnel, a ua wela ka mea. Kaʻa wale au ma kēlā ʻaoʻao, kaʻawale mai ke kaʻa. ʻAʻole ia i hauʻoli iki iaʻu."

ʻO kahi radiator hou a me nā hana ʻē aʻe he $6000 ka mea i hilinaʻi ʻia ka Corvette e hiki ai iā Jackson ke hauʻoli i kāna kūʻai ʻana he $34,000.

"Ua pāʻani au me nā kaʻa mai koʻu puka ʻana mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe," wahi āna. “Ma kēia kaʻa ʻoe e hoʻokele a nānā nā kānaka. E pili ana i ka hōʻike ʻana i kāu hana noʻeau. Kaʻa au i ke kaʻa a hui au i nā poʻe, nā keiki maʻamau, e paʻi kiʻi.

Akā, ʻaʻole i pau ka hana kiʻi a Jackson. Hoʻolālā ʻo ia e hoʻolilo hou i $ 6000 a i $ 10,000 no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke kino, kahi āna i manaʻo ai he 12 mau mahina.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jackson ʻo ka 1968 a i ka 1973 Corvette ka mea i ʻimi nui ʻia no ka mea ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka mīkini 350 hp.

Loaʻa ka mana haʻahaʻa o nā hiʻohiʻona ma muli o nā hoʻoponopono haumia.

A ʻoiai ʻaʻole kumu maoli kona ʻenekini, he ʻenekini 350 Chev ia e hana i ka 350 hp like.

I ka wā i kūʻai ai ʻo Jackson i kāna kaʻa kaʻa mua loa ma mua o hoʻokahi makahiki i hala, ua hele mua ʻo ia ma Australia no 14 mau makahiki.

"Aia ʻo ia ma ka hale kaʻa," wahi āna. "I koʻu ʻohi ʻana, ua mālama ʻole ʻia a pono wau e hoʻomaka hou."

ʻOiai ʻo Jackson a he mea hoʻohiwahiwa ʻo Holden, e kaʻana like ana me kona ʻohana, ua hoʻopuka ʻo ia, e hoʻomohala ana i ka hoihoi i ka ʻiʻo ʻAmelika ma kahi o ʻekolu mau makahiki i hala.

He mau makahiki ka loihi o ka imi ana i keia kanaka.

"Makemake wau i ke ʻano, ke ʻano a me ke ʻano," wahi āna. "Ma kahi o 17,000 mau kaʻa i kūkulu ʻia ma ʻAmelika, no laila ua lawe ʻia lākou a pau ma ʻaneʻi."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jackson he T-luna kāna Corvette a wehe ka puka makani hope.

"ʻAʻole ia he mea hoʻololi, akā aia kēlā manaʻo," wahi āna.

Ua hoʻomaka ke kaʻa o Jackson ma ke ʻano he kaʻa lima hema, akā ua hoʻohuli ʻia i ka kaʻa lima ʻākau no Australia. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻoiai ʻo kona mau makahiki, hoʻokele mau ʻo ia a paʻa "maikaʻi loa" ke holo ʻo ia i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha o ka mahina.

Ua kapa ʻia ka corvette ma muli o kekahi ʻano moku ma ka Navy Pelekane i ʻike ʻia no kona wikiwiki kupaianaha.

Ua hoʻolauna mua ʻia lākou i ka US i ka makahiki 1953, a i ka makahiki 1970 ua hōʻike lākou i ka ihu lōʻihi a ʻoi aku ka kiko, nā puka makani ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā pale mua, a me nā bumper chrome.

Loaʻa i ka Jackson model kekahi mau mea hou, me ka hoʻokele mana a me kahi mea pāʻani CD, i hoʻohui ʻia i ke kaʻa.

I kekahi mau mahina i hala aku nei, ua noʻonoʻo ʻo ia e kūʻai aku i kāna Corvette no $50,000, akā me kona nani e ʻālohilohi ana i ke alahele, ua hoʻololi koke ʻo ia i kona manaʻo.

"Ua hoʻolaha wau akā ua hoʻololi i koʻu manaʻo ma hope o ʻelua mau pule. Ua hoʻoholo wau ua makemake nui wau. No laila ʻaʻole wau e kūʻai aku i kēia manawa, "wahi a ka 27 makahiki. ʻOiai ʻaʻole i lanakila ʻo ia i ka ʻae a kona makuahine i kona ʻike ʻana i nā kiʻi, ʻōlelo ʻo Jackson makemake ʻo ia i kona ʻike ʻana i ka mea maoli.

Ma ke alanui, he ʻulaʻula Corvette e noho haʻahaʻa loa i ka honua. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jackson, ʻaʻole ia ka kaʻa maʻamau no ke kanaka XNUMXm kiʻekiʻe.

Akā ʻaʻole ia e kāohi iā ia mai ka mālama ʻana. A me nā noho ʻelua wale nō, ʻike ʻo ia i ka hemahema o ka hiki ʻole ke lawe i nā hoaaloha a puni.

E hele wāwae wale ana kona mau hoa a e ʻimi i nā kaʻa no lākou iho, ʻoiai ua pili paʻa ʻo Jackson i ka nani ʻulaʻula.

Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ia e ʻulaʻula no ka lōʻihi, ʻoiai ke manaʻo nei ʻo Jackson e hāʻawi i ke ola hou aʻe a hoʻihoʻi iā ia i nā lā i haʻalele ai i ka hale hana 37 mau makahiki i hala.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia makemake ʻo ia i ka ʻulaʻula "no ka mea ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka ʻulaʻula," akā i ka wā i hala, ʻo ka Corvette ka mea uliuli. A, ma ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i kona ʻano kumu, ua hilinaʻi ʻo Jackson e hoʻonui ʻo ia i kāna waiwai.
