How long have you owned your current Corvette?

I've had my 67 since August 1974. Paid $500 for it back then.

Boy were you sharp....NOT LUCKY...just sharp...

During the 1973 Oil Crisis I remember plenty of my friends bitching about the price of gasoline and selling their cars or swapping in a small block ... Plus Southern States stopped selling & delivering gasoline to fill residential gas tanks such as I had for personal use... !@$#

Honestly I wish I had your "smarts" in 73 and 74....

But I didn't I sold my truck and purchased a Vette....a Chevette unfortunately NOT a Corvette ...

64 72 76 79 & 95 Corvettes ....Chevette is long gone.. lol

I bought my 350/350 '69 coupe, new, in '69.

Dang - 500 bucks in '74 would equate to buying a '98 for $1,973 and change. I bought my '67 in '79 for $6000, as I recall, which would be $16,083 today for a '93. Me thinks the depreciation isn't what it used to be.

Year vs. dollar worth is a pretty fun little exercise for certain items:

My '67 went out the door of it's Pennsylvania dealership (in '67) for just shy of $5000. Today that would be $29,132 today. This is not to say the current Corvettes are overpriced - consider all the technology, amenities and safety features of today vs. '67.

Here's waving to ya - \||||
