Assuming the lottery winning were big enough...

I would charter a private jet, fly to Maitland, FL, and then start throwing money at Roger Judski until he agreed to sell me the yellow ZL-1.

Right now I would guess that somewhere around the $2 million mark he would start to get interested.

jv04, Been to Rogers many times as I grew up in Maitland. Sold him my first 74 in 80. I wired his house 25 years ago. I don't believe he will ever sell his ZL-1 or his 67 or 68 L-88s. They are his kids. I have been told he has/had cars stored all over central Florida. He leases the property to McDonalds in Maitland where his first lot was. A very smart and wealthy man. This is just my lowly opinion. Mark

I agree, but Roger is a smart man. Enough money would buy that car; it just may be way to much.

$10 million and it would be history, but I would not pay that even if I had it.

I grew up in Orlando, and visited Roger's place many times. The first time I met Roger, he was working out of a garage at his father's hotel on OBT. That was about 1972 or so. He had a 63 coupe for sale, and I wish I could have afforded it.

I would build my Vette like AllVettes4Me! Plus pick up a rompin stompin 427 C2. Invest the rest and live normal.
Maybe buy a young wife too... Kidding! Got my keeper wife now.

Very cool Priya....you sure are a car girl! What about a 67 GTO?

AllC34Me

This should do it.

Metalhead140

I'm sure there's a huge house out of shot somewhere, but I'd live in that!

AllC34Me

I'd live upstairs just to get that garage. LOL.

Jeffs82c3

I would buy two of these.. They take the body off of a c-6 and put this on...

Priya

Thanks, I'd add a 68 or 69 GTO to the list - I'm a big fan of those.

In both the C1/2 section and C3 section we have allowed the fact that some friends like to talk about some topics that might not be completely dedicated to that model car, one reason being that OT isn’t a place everyone wants to visit.

Moderators have looked at these threads on a case by case basis and considered if they have any interest. Most get moved or closed, but some, like this one that clearly has a collector car interest that includes C3 Corvettes, are left open because of their participation.

This thread is 3 pages long, quite a bit busier than many C3 threads.

So, it is unnecessary to keep complaining about a thread belonging in OT. If the thread is something you don’t want to participate in, please choose a different thread.

Les

Yeah, I think I could make that work.

AllC34Me

I think I would buy a C-2 Coupe with a 427 Big Block. A 69 427 would be fun too. I have always wanted a convertible, not sure which yet, but love the 69 black on black. Fun to Jim.

The13Bats

Me too,

In the Late 70s early 80s ish,

Roger had a small open air lot behind the jack in box on 17 92 and Horatio,

He had a faded blue l88 flared car i wanted so darn badly,

Thru the years he would light hearted poke at me about my customs and he sold my 81 wide body to an overseas collector....

IMHO OT is just a garbage dump, a thread like this of fun, kinship and camaraderie would be shreadded there where it seems the main agenda is belittling each other...

vettebuyer6369

Cleaned up... please stay on topic. Thanks!

I've been through a lot of motorcycles, and have found out that owning several at the same time is too much. So... keep the cars to a minimum.
Seeings how I am on my first Vette, and at my age (57), the 68-82 era is what I grew up seeing, they are my favorite. I'd like to spend on a full tilt C3 as the body style on a C3 is like no other car, even to this day. No denying a road race C2 either as its a killer precursor to the C3. ...I can't wait to see the outcome of my C3, as I have a fresh idea (ya right lol).
Living in excess is excessive. So... win the lottery, invest, live well and do as you please. Be normal. <<< funny icon Lol
