I'ts been a long time
About 40 years ago I owned a 66 Corvette and a few years later a 59. Unfortunately I sold both of them. I have now decided I would like to find a 1961 or 62 to restore. I have seen some cars for sale on the Internet that look good and sound good, but the prices vary considerably. I'm hoping to gain some insight on pricing and restoration.
Enjoy while you can.
