Yep... I mean it's GORGEOUS!!! However, I'd want something I could drive and worry about all the time.. takes the fun out of it.... a car is meant to be enjoyed. Then again, if you can afford this beauty, you can afford to drive it! wow.... just amazing!

I'll be darned! I remember when that car was shown in Houston, and I remember the next day when it was stolen. For years I wondered where it went.

Now I just wonder where the 53 that Nabers restored ended up. It was stolen along with its enclosed trailer in the late 80s or early 90s.

People ask me sometimes if I'm one of those Corvette owners who won't drive his old Corvette in the rain. I always tell them I avoid driving in the rain when I can.

I don't care if the car gets wet, but I don't like to get wet and the '65 vert leaks like a sieve.

I relate to a number of the sentiments posted thus far. I know people who own garage queens. Beautiful cars, but I've always felt that owning a Corvette that was perfect would be a burden, rather than a pleasure.

I like driving them, not worrying about whether they are going to get dirty.

Your mileage may vary ...
