Not in the same way the S is anyway. It is fun just to cruise around in and listen to the V8. The clicking of the shifter is a beautiful sound too.

I've been going out to Auburn IN for the Kruse auction for the past 10 years. The one thing that I have consistently noticed is that the prices for vettes, particuarly c2's, has gone up every year. 10 years ago, you could get a decent one in the $20s. Today, they are going for more than twice that. As far as classic cars for an investment, you can't go wrong with this one.

Nice S, btw. I saw it on the sale board, hard top w/bronze wheels really set it off.

That vette's in great condition! I'd trade in a heart beat for one of those classic beauties! Congrates! Guess now you need to convert all your tools to SAE.

[QUOTE]good luck on that one, 40 year old cars are not fun to drive

my first two cars were a 66 mustang coupe and then a 64 1/2 mustang coupe (this was the late 90s)

getting a modern car was the best decision I ever made.

If you like to drive you don't want a classic

The 300hp 327 and a 4speed is a good combo, Enough power to keep you entertained a bit, but not enough to break itself

Looks to be a pretty clean car, congrats.

P.S.
It looks like the shielding for the ignition wires is missing.

You're suppose to go forward not backwards. J/k Very interesting change indeed.
