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.
