Seems to be about the same around here!! Must admit hat the ones I've seen were not really de-contented. Mine did only have drivers power seat,,but that was about the only difference. Mine had the single CD Bose,windows,remote locks heated mirrors,HUD and dual zone A/C. I got mine at a good price,,mainly because it was mid January in the Midwest and it was on a small lot!! If you like them they are worth a LITTLE more. I 1. like the look 2.like the idea that they were kind of a limited production car. To me kind of a little extra point of interest,,,to those that actually know.

I simply don't like the hatchback look... that rear sloping glass just doesn't work.

Why I didn't buy a C6.

Well being the owner of two convertibles I'm a bit biased towards the FRC body style. FRC's are definitely more rare and only time will tell if they will go up in value. 30 years from now I'm sure they'll be worth something as for now if you can find one for a decent price I'd snap it up. Although they don't come as equipped as a coupe I think that the appeal is far greater to Corvette enthusiasts than their coupe brothers, although the convertible will always be the most desirable (as far as body styles) IMO the FRC is a close second.

I really like my FRC. I like the roof line on it. It may be less in book value than a coupe but it doesn't matter to me.
