Some of us might actually buy another one on the future and also (as I mentioned above) some people especially new people are concerned with prices when they buy their cars. If you don't want to read the thread or want to contribute, just scroll by.

Almost every day there is a thread titled "how much is this Vette worth?" People obviously care.

Say they did increase, by the time you factor in ins, registration and maintenance youve gained nothing most times

Put gas in it, wash it and change my own oil is about all I do!

I can buy a lot of gas and carb rebuilds for what computer sensors and fuel injectors cost!
I've got a 78 also, as well as an 02. Totally agree with the differences you listed. Both cars have their pros and cons.
