Default OT? Vette dealer diversifying a bit...

I don't check out the Proteam website very often, but I just noticed they have about 7 or 8 non-corvettes on their 68-72 inventory page, including Camaros, Chevelles, even an Olds 442! :lol: I don't recall ever seeing anything but vettes on their website. I guess they are branching out. :) MJ

seems like most are going to this..

last time i was at corvettes of houston which was about 3 months ago they had a grand national which i saw still there about 2 weeks ago when driving by, could of been a different one, but I don't see why, they also had an orange Diablo, a ac cobra replica and a h2

Hi there MNJack ! :seeya
Looks like you've posted quite a bit in my absence from the forum. :yesnod:

Yeah, several dealers are "branching" out because of sales.
For some reason 1st Gen. Camaros out sell Corvettes of the same year about 4 to 1 !!! ....and the prices are ridiculous !

$23k for a Camaro (fake S/S) when I can buy a 1969 vert for under $20 ???
I mean hello ??? :crazy:

To make a Camaro = to Corvette you have to convert all brakes to discs add gauges (tach, etc.), mod the suspension +plus find one with all the goodies (4spd. Muncie, 12-bolt....etc.).

It just makes more sense to buy a Corvette but you cannot convince Bubba or Joe 6-pak of this ! :lol:

Could it be that they're now buying cars they drove way back in high school, which probably excluded the Corvette? Just a thought....
