Dave --

No doubt about that. Cars should never be considered an "investment". They're toys - play with 'em - enjoy 'em - and hope like hell you get 50 cents on the dollar.

My point was more -- given the above -- I'd rather sink money into a 69 over a 67 Camaro --- or for that matter a 74 Camaro.... motors cost the same - paint - wheels and tires - interiors etc.

It's a really nice Corvette --- and built with everything you can throw in there... so I'm not degrading the build at all. Other than just saying what I have.

Weld, if I had your money I'd put a LS9 in a pinto. :rofl:

I was actually laughing at Dave's comment about how we all know we don't do these as investments. Trust me -- I can think of VERY FEW people that have absolutely WASTED as much money on cars as I have... and I've had a LOT of 'em... so the first rock should be through my own window!

BTW -- I like the LS9 in a Pinto idea -- but I'd go with a Vega instead...

I knew you of all people get it, Greg. :woot:

I don't generally love the C3 myself, but this is a great example of making the best out of that platform.

Good luck with the sale.

I'm not a fan of the C3 myself at all mainly because of the sardine can feeling inside of it.
Of course , opinions are like a**holes and you might not like 2nd gen Camaro's. :D

But I have to admit, yours is probably the nicest I've ever seen , enough to change my opinion of them. :)
I think the interior is totally badass, and the engine, paint, rims, good lord man.
Exterior looks like you went for the Grand Sport look. :)

That car is SICK!!!!

The asking price of $55K --- for a car that most likely cost triple that to build is why I say what I say. The C3 body is not the most sought after Corvette in the history of the galaxy (Where's Al when you need him?). :rofl:

Pretty funnie Greg, LOL :lol:

Yes, originally I had sort of a Grand Sport theme in mind. But then it took many different turns and in the end it just sort of ended up being what I considered to be something from every generation thrown together (C3 body, C4 suspension, C5 LS6, C6 Paint\Wheels, and some misc C1 and C2 emblems and other misc parts).

Granted not for everyone. But it is a fun ride.

:yes:
