We hang out at the XXX (Rootbeer not porn) - on Saturday afternoons... and a guy pulled in with the '62' version of the C5... and as a group (8 or 9 of us) all said the same thing. If you like a '62 vette - then just buy one. If you want modern driving then just buy a new Vette... 'cause this guy spent $150 grand for a car that has ZERO resale value... and he could have had a real '62 and a new Vette for the same money! True! $100K will get you a decently restored '62 and a new Vette is close to $50K (okay maybe more like 60)...
but what if he has only enough room for one car in his garage?
