Finally caught a break in the weather and got the 59 out for a few hours on May 9. Definately need to do this more often! Any other owners of old Vettes around here?
don't own either but took this on the weekend... That would be a 53 and the NEW C6 Image Unavailable, Please Login
my fiance owns a 71 convertible.. you can kind of see it in my profile. I"ll try to take some more pictures today, but its raining right now.
I want to say something here. Do you remember when you could purchase X for Y ? LOL I remember about 1980, there was an original low mile orange 71 LS-6 roadster for about 14,500. Darn. Nice pic of the solid axel Corvette.
Yep, I've got a bunch of stories about the $ of cars long gone, but the one happy ending story is the 59 in the picture. $1800 in Dec. 1974.
I priced a '62 327 fuelie with a recent frame-off restoration, red/black, 25K miles for a "fire sale" price of $38K. I have seen several nice ones like it for between $40K and $45K. Man, if my foresight were as good as my hindsight my head would be the biggest part of my body not my butt.................How much was that car new, maybe $3800.
I've also got more money in a 63 Nova than the Vette or a 308 is worth. It all balances out I guess. (Feel better now, ralfabco?)
Yes. That happens. I purchased a SIG 550 in 1988 for 1450. I sold it a few years later NIB for 2,800. They bring close to 10K today. Everyone has these stories. I heard Big Block Corvettes were as cheap as dirt around late 1973/74. That Corvette was a "good" buy. Enjoy
The 68 is being restored now & the 509 cid engine & side pipes are waiting to go in. Going to paint it electric blue
i sold the candy red trans am a few months ago. i still have a (78) black and gold "bandit" trans am, WS6, TTOPS ECT. and a Mulsanne Blue ( paint code 24) 1978 trans am. both are for sale in the Autotrader. gotten tired of the old muscle. the only other car i may let share my ferrari garage will be a 70 to 72 4 speed Z28. pics.....
