I think it's because it's illegal to drive Corvettes in Ms.
(Mine doesn't like hot weather, and I only drive it on weekends)

Try your local paper's on-line ads for cars for sale.
www.cars.com is also a good place to look.

Good luck in your search, and disregard that first comment.

I'm just 25 miles west of N.O......things are O.K. here.
May be headed your way late next week if the latest storm keeps coming. I go thru Jackson about 6 times a year on the way to Chicago.
Loks like a nice town from I-55.

Besides ebay (which, in my opinion, has a lot of good Corvettes, and a lot of junk Corvettes), the two biggest sites for number of Corvettes is: cars.com which does a sweep of all newspapers (and you can advertise on it, exclusively, without advertising in your local paper) and autotrader.com, which is the online-only version of the paper sold in 7-11.

As to seeing them on the road, except for "show weekends" such as the biggest one in the country at Carlisle, Pennsylvania this weekend, you won't see tons on the road. On any given Sat. or Sun., if I go out driving for the day, I'm lucky if I see more than, or around a half dozen. And I live in a very populated suburban area. And there are a lot of Corvettes hiding in garages all over the place.

If you see none, then it means that A) not many exist in your immediate area and B) people don't like to/want to drive them in your area.

Be the first!!!!
