Now they're about as quick as a new standard Corvette, but still a lot of fun to drive.
Pity the guy who would like to putt around in an old Splitwindow, or even a '67 big block Corvette, forget it. It will cost you five times what the car is intrinsically worth, just for a "driver". And those cars aren't even driven anymore, except by weenies who would never ever think about putting the hammer down and enjoying it like it was meant to be enjoyed. 
It's a blessing that these cars aren't worth much except to the guys that love them, and love to drive them.

Absolutely true.....the moment big money gets involved, everything turns into a goat f*ck. Countless hobbies and interests have been completely ruined by investors and speculators. Corruption, scams and gouging soon follow.
