Well, I'm Corvetteless for the first time in many years. Now on the search for a C1 or C2 to replace them.

Didn't you just buy a C4 in the spring? I know you sold your 65.

I'll sell you my '61 for $1,000,000.

If you can't find anything else.

Why did you sell your other ones? Get tired of them?

I can't really imagine selling any collector cars i ever bought, as I wouldn't have bought them, if I didn't like them. Unless of course, someone paid me $1,000,000.

I sold a C2, C3, and the C4. I sold the C3 to make a place for a C2 I wanted badly, had agreed on price and was to pick up at 2 Monday, but the seller backed out at the last minute and sold it to his neighbor.

I've gotten screwed out of a few deals like that...you just have to hitch up your drawers (as Mom always said) and move on the next thing.

Look at it as an opportunity

There are a lot more cars than usual on the market, but good quality cars are harder to find than ever.

Jack, I cant believe you got rid of everything.


My buddy still has that 2003 with 4000 miles in it for 27k


I Know thats not what you want and he should have sold it tothe dealer when her offered it to him.

There will be a lot more cars coming up before the cold comes.

Plus you still have the Camaro. Or maybe not.

I do still have the Camaro. The Corvette club won't talk to me till I find another Corvette. I know you see a lot of cars, let me know if you run upon any red/white C1's.

OK, I'm back in. That was rough. About a week with no Corvette. My 20th Corvette of my life, and my 1st C1 ever.
