Join the club! You're just like the majority of us! Of course, you have more in your car than it's worth, that's just part of C3 ownership, unless you're a superb pro at buying and restoring these cars! It's the experience that counts!

And when it is your first classic vette, the learning process is quite pricey. The key is to enjoy the entire process and not just the $ amount it is worth. These cars are not investments.. But rather obsessions
