If a modern cars steering wheel jiggled around like this, nobody would drive it. (Vertical video, blah blah blah)

True, but I bet that steering wheel didn’t vibrate like that 50 years ago, either.

Combination of 50 years of wear and a rough idling engine (camshaft) in that Corvette.

That’s true about a lot of things on old cars

Do you feel the power?

Fair point. After driving my D100 around, my CX-3 feels like a Ferrari

So much raw power, barely being held back

Let’s wait for 50 years to compare. You can’t compare a car that just came off from the assembly line to one that can join AARP without some allowances for wear.

That’s a new one, wow. My friends 73 mach 1 shook the whole car but I think that his engine mounts were probably going bad.

something in worn in the column that’s not right even for a C2 corvette, is it a tilt column? the gm tilts are notorious for getting sloppy over time. there are also wearable parts in the column.

Probably needs a column rebuild or some fasteners tightened. I don’t recall how it is in C2s but those two nuts that hold in the column are pretty important.
