Hey brother I am going to be up in Maryland for a couple weeks. Looks like you have some more nasty weather headed that way, but I have to go regardless.

Maybe if you can spare some time we can have a drink or something one of the evenings I am up there

I posted a similar sentiment in another post earlier today, but keep in mind that these cars aren't new enough to be new & exciting, and they're not old enough to be classics yet. We've got about 5 years before we can start applying for "Classic Auto" plates on 'em.

What that means is that they're in that awkward in-between stage. Kinda like a kid that's too big to be cute and too small to be an adult. They're just gonna be in an awkward phase for a while.

For now, they're regarded by the general public as just another "old Corvette". That's alright. That's OK. In a few years some of us will be sitting pretty.

At one point in its life, my '67 GTO was just an old Pontiac gas guzzler to somebody. We had a '69 Judge that somebody wanted to "pull all those obnoxious decals" off of. Time and again you hear the stories about the rare Superbirds from the Mopar camps that had the big wings unceremoniously chopped off because they were unfashionable.

Let those who don't understand continue not to understand. It just strengthens our position for the future.

The decals and wing on the judges were pretty obnoxious. I do not even have the moldings on the bottom of my 71

You don't like me very much?

Listen, I'll always have my ZR-1 - I'm not selling so value is not a big deal to me even though I like to contribute to the value threads. Naturally, I hope values climb, regardless I'll enjoy my car one way or the other. Of course I am passionate about ZR-1's and do care about ZR-1's more then other Corvettes I own.

I just think if you are trying to represent yourself as an expert on a subject matter you should know what the hell you are talking about.
Clearly, this video is not impressive and it shows that they don't know what they are talking about.

Pretty sad video in my opinion especially when its done by Sports Car Market Magazine. Someone who claims to know the collector market.

I would have bought it for that and had anther parts car sale out.

49,000 miles were on the car.

I thought that car was not an original Aqua car and had a bad repaint. Someone posted a link to a for sale ad on here a while ago.

I agree these guys didn't have a clue what they were talking about.
