Went to the dark side......
Well I did it. Went over to the dark side. Traded in the 73 for a modified 07. Thanks for all your guys help over the last few years, but it looks like I will be switching forums to the C6 area. Stay cool and I am sure I will be back.

Literally trade in or sold then reinvested the cash. Just curious. If you traded it in, I would have liked to been there for that transaction. I went to a local dealership to look at the owners 71 that was purchased from a friend decades ago. As I was talking to the corvette sales people I pointed to my 68 outside. They said it time to trade up. I said " If you have a loaded 67 available. They got a good laugh out of it. They were 20 somethings but they looked a little longer than they were supposed to at the 68.
Congrats, enjoy and we'll see you when you get your next c3

trade in
I traded in a wife once, and got a much younger model...I have no complaints. The ride was smoother, too....

It was traded in at F&A Corvette in Colonial Beach, VA. I get all my Vettes from them. Always high quality. Gave me what I was asking retail for my trade-in. Got a good deal. Thsi one only has 36k miles. Cammed out, full exhaust, heads, intake, tuned, Z51 package, 6-speed, etc. Mean *** car. Lol! Whole different experience when going from 190HP to 450 RWHP.
More pics later. Gonna go play. :-)

Very tempting. 5 years ago, I would would have jumped at such a deal. Today C6's can be had for $20k and a decent Chrome Bumper C3 driver is getting close to that. I could probably get close to that for mine, maybe not, but I'd have a fast, dependable ride. But 5 years from now, I'd regret it. Besides, there's nothing on a C3 I can't fix, and there's nothing on a C6 I can.
