Default Modern Corvette C7 vs American Classic and Classic Corvette

There has been discussion here on this forum about the modern Corvette C7 v the American Classic car and Classic Corvette.

For those who are "real' auto enthusiasts I invite you to take a look at this dealership inventory. This is one of the best inventory I have ever seen of American classic and classic Corvettes. After seeing this, what would you like?

Modern Corvette C7 or an American Classic or Classic Corvette?

Check this out.

Totally awesome. I could only wish I had a 20 car garage!

I go there quite often. Nice cars. Everything is over priced. I'll just go to look and admire the nice cars. When I look at the price tags I just smile and say words in my head that rhyme with "row me".

Nice collection and with those prices, he will be sitting on them for a while.

Great pictures and some real low mileage vehicles. However, some of the prices are laughable. I'll take a classic for pure looking pleasure and my current C7 for pure driving pleasure-not to mention reliability.

Everything is about double what it would bring at auction.

The reason I posted the link was not about prices, it was about the inventory that this dealership has and the outstanding classic vehicles they have. They are so nice and so much fun to look at.

All extremely beautiful.

Thanks for the post; I'm loving it. I told my wife we're getting rid of the Vette and showed her that link. She just shook her head.

My thoughts exactly. Nice cars, not so nice prices. But maybe if I were Jay Leno rich I wouldn't care.

Most of their cars are on consignment from the owners.

Definitely some fine vehicles.

Here is another link to some classics.

Both dealers definitely have something nice to look at.

I have been going to another showroom in Charlotte (Mooresville) and looking at a Supercharged C4 with 3,800 miles on it. Looks like it's finally pending a sale.

The private collection is really nice, much rather have my C7.
I'm not wealthy so it is all a pipe dream for me.

Saw a LOT of 67 stinger hoods on pre 67's.

I shouldn't talk. I had one too on a SWC. That be my #1 pick for Corvette. Owned a 67 Shelby GT500 once. So the red 67 Shelby GT500 w/white stripes (early 67 have bright center headlights side by side) would be my pick out of this particular litter (4th row bottom). Only because the Cobra's are kit cars.

Wish I'd kept my '55 and '56 Chevys. I junked out the '56 and sold the '55 2dr hardtop for $100. That was a few years ago, though.

Wonder what I could get for my '67 Vette 350 ci roadster. It's almost a daily driver in summer.

I wonder how you do a "frame off" restoration on a '56 VW Beetle? Considering there is no frame...
