2023 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified
I have always felt numbers matching was stupid. Rare exceptions like ZL-1 L-88 426 hemi etc may make a car more desirable to some. But a smog era car really doesn't matter much.
Still a 78 pace car with a base engine is worth less than one with an L-82.

Exactly!
If you are going to drive your 76 in your town's Independence Day parade, this is the year to do it.
Put a Bicentennial sticker (Amazon link) in the window for extra points.

I owned mine on July 4th, '76.....I remember. It was the prices plummet part. Hagerty says I've already lost 7% from a year ago...

They pissed me right off.
A few years ago our largest Corvette club in Ontario Canada had a gathering /show at a military / war plane museum up here.
There were various tours and presentations going on - because Hagerty were a sponsor I went to their presentation / seminar expecting something interesting - it went on forever and all it was about was Corvette values statistics - curves audio visuals etc etc
We didn't / don't buy these cars like a stock investment !
Because I was too polite to get up and leave through the middle of this crap I missed a VERY INTERESTING presentation about a famous WWII bomber on display.
i will never forget that !
