Default Re: 126 miles. Better hurry!

BTW there were 9687 1967 BBs made and they are worth a bunch. For
comparison there are only 7000 ish ZR1s.[/QUOTE]


Yeah, but the vast majority of those 67's were driven, and driven hard. There were specious few that got the "garage queen" treatment that so many ZR-1's enjoyed.
That's why today an unmolested original big block is very rare...ZR-1's? not so much.

When our ZR-1s are forty plus years old then you will see a collector value like the 67's.

So, to raise the value of our ZR-1's we need to drive our ZR-1's hard in large quantities... or put them in cryogenic storage for another 17 years. I think I would rather drive my Z hard and often

Yes, I would prefer enjoying it.

Saving it for the great grandchildren does not appeal to me.

I think you are correct FUNRACER,

I have sold a lot of my C1s and C2s about 8-9 years ago when the market was strong and just kept the rare ones and got top $ for most of the ones that I sold. But in the last 18 months I have bought 7 Corvettes all C3 BB's an and a 70 LT1-ZR1 option. I also bought a 93 and 95 ZR1. And did not pay over $40k for any of them. And I am still looking for good deals for original cars. I definitely think now is the time to buy some of the classics.
