Default Just wondering.......

If you had loads of money at your disposal, would you buy a different year vette or fix up what ya got? I would LOVE to purchase a 1967. I love the body style and that was the year I was hatched. :flag

I'd keep the 74 and look for either a 64-66 vert.

If it was car-only money it'd go to my '77 and my dad's '64. Probably will only take another 10k to get mine where I want it.

I'd buy Merlin to drive and a beater to work on for the fun of it :D My dream car is listed in my sig but I'd like to add that I'd prefer a coupe, a rubber bumper (I like the monochrome look what can I say) and no A/C. Dead weight in a car that I'd take the tops off in warm weather ;)

Ideally, power steering and brakes, ya more weight but easier to whip the car around (which I really enjoy doing ;) ).
