You're already a member of the "Upside Down" club! I'd bet that at least half the guys and gals here, have more money into their `Vettes than what they're worth.
If your Corvette puts a big grin on your face everytime you drive it, then it's worth every penny you put into it! These aren't 'common sense' cars, that's for sure.
PS: Love the black paint on that car! Sweet!!!

A cars resale value only matters when you sell it. Its true value is when you drive it. Since you are not selling it any time soon .. If ever.. just go out and enjoy it. Besides you are not that far upside down compared to a lot of us.
Nice car. Btw.

True, but then you're just driving it around. It's different when you've gone through the car completely and you have had your hands on nearly every square inch of that car, rebuilding, replacing and refurbushing everything. Because when you're done, you can honestly say it's really yours and you have forged a solid relationship with your Corvette. You love it, and it loves you!

I agree with F22. Enjoy your beautiful vette, Cattiva73. I have had my 68 coupe for over 40 years now. My wonderful second wife has helped me change the frame and drop in a ZZ4 engine. As Alan say's, you get a smile inside whenever you get inside. And no other car has the sexy shape of a C-3. Lou.
C3s have a beautiful and unique line and shape.

I too am upside down with my 73. But I plan to drive it until I can't and enjoy the physical and mental workout I get from restoring it.
It provides cheap "high horsepower meditation" when I need it.
