I must not be interpreting your title; "and keep 67?" then?

"In honor of jpee"
I laffed out loud at this one! Don't know how I missed this thread until today. I think the only way the '67 leaves the garage for good is a Red/Red '63 Split Window which is what you want, Mike.
As to getting a new C7--maybe. Certainly a lot of good choices w/o going the pricey, ZR1 model. But, why do it? One way or the other there will be an ME or C8 you will buy, and it's not that far off in time. Keep your powder dry, save a couple extra bucks, and then get the one you want.
Maybe even "special order" it with your preference of included options---you might not even "need" an option called D30 override!
That would be my vote---a not-too-loud-easy-to-resell-when-the-time-comes, new model Corvette when it comes out. Call it a "Signature Mike Furman Corvette." Might be blue. Might have a blue interior..... Altho, of course, the easiest way to sell a used Corvette is to have it in colors and options that sell easily---and who knows better than you what those are!!!!

Since you’re an obvious vette junkie, like myself and many others on here, you might as well just go ahead and get that Elkhart Lake blue Z06 convertible we all know you’re lusting after and pass on the 67 to someone else to enjoy. You probably are like me and a ton of other guys that do with vettes like some guys do with women, which is no matter how great the one you’re with, when a new head turning one passes by, we’re all just like Chevy Chase in the station wagon with Beverly Deangelo and Christie Brinkley cruises by in the red Ferrari.
The good news is, after you replace your 67 with the latest can’t live without hot ticket, it can tide you over until the C8 makes it’s entrance.

It sounded like both were up for sale, and or replacement.....as both were mentioned. Since either of them could be bought for the right price, it opens up a lot of possibilities. I do love both Blues, regards colors.

The tough part is my 67 Cpe is everything I've always wanted in a C2...the days of me owning 11 at a time are long gone...so I do have some decisions to make.

It's nice to know that you just keep the Corvettes coming for yourself. That's what we at Berkshire-Hathaway call; "eating your own cooking." The greatest of ALL testimonials. You not only have been selling them for 40+ years.......you've been DRIVING them for the entire time too! 😊 👍
