Re: In light of a pushrod "LT5"...
My guess is they’ll stay flat. People are chasing other 80’s cars (Porsche’s, etc) but not ours.

Re: In light of a pushrod "LT5"...
You may be correct for the short term, at least regionally speaking. But, for the long term, all Corvettes in the past have realized some type of resurrection of their market value - at some point.

Look at the values of the C6 ZR-1- brand new they were 118,000 dollars..Now, it seems you can get a nice low mileage one for half that, maybe even a little less....Same thing with the C6 Z06.....72,000 new, now? A nice one? 33-35K.......It may be that technology is just keeping the C-4 to C-6 generations down.... In my opinion the C-2 and C -3 chrome bumpered cars will always demand a high number......It brings people back to the age where every car manufacturer wanted to out do the other.....Ford,Buick,Pontiac,Oldsmobile and Dodge were in power struggles with Chevy...So, any performance car built in that time period will always bring strong money... |

Re: In light of a pushrod "LT5"...
I love my ZR-1 and Nothing will change that. People usually remember the cars that they longed for in their youth. When they reach a monetarily comfortable time in their life, if they choose, they seek out that car of their youth. Most of us weren't actually young when the ZR-1 came out but we were Car Guys. Our generation of Car Guys are dying off slowly and so is the Car culture in many ways. You all know the youth of the last several years couldn't care less about cars. I know several 18 year olds that don't even have a drivers license.
I know there are still some young car enthusiast but I'll bet in 20-30 years the classic car culture will be less than half of what it is today. No trying to be negative it's just the way it is, I think. |

The ravages of inflation! In my younger days you only needed a dime.
