Bad era for vettes in my opinion. After about 73 or so all the life had been choked out of them and this era had no power. They didn’t start to recover until the first ZR1 model into 1990.RoadTrip said:By the way, anyone know much about late 70's Corvette Stingrays? My 14 year old wants one for high school. I was surprised to learn you can get one in decent shape for under $20k.
My Dad as a Chevy dealer had a 1984 corvette well before the general public and that piece of shut only had 205 HP out of a 5.7 liter V8. Hell My wife’s MDX would smoke that era of vettes in 0-60. -
@GrundleStiltzkin gets it. 1967 stingray with 427 or GTFO.GrundleStiltzkin said:66-68 side pipe 'vette
I like to call the Chevrolet Corvette the 'vette. I like to call it that. It's something I like to do. -
Thanks for the advice. This thread made me go check out an auction site call BaT. I'll have to show him a bunch of cool cars you can still get relatively cheap.YellowSnow said:

Gorgeous car but they're like $150k restored or $70K in original condition. I want the kid to appreciate his car and learn how to work on it.YellowSnow said:

98-02 F-bodies with the LS1 are great bang for buck if you want an American V8. Mustangs of that era are dogs in comparison until you move up to the 03 Cobras which were supercharged. You can find them with 50k on the odometer for under $15k. If he likes the style of that era Vette he might also like those.RoadTrip said:

Bump. I love this fucking thread.
I went to the Bellevue Porsche dealership last weekend. It would be hard to pass on one of the news ones in favor of one from the 60s for about the same amount of money ... likely even less for a new one.
Still, those 60s era 356s are fucking beautiful.
