    Anyone watch the BJ palm beach auction

    vette bargains at palm beach I totally agree -- the big block c2 cars that were barely getting into the 100k range was a shock to me -- I also agree that there were many vettes -- too many for the sellers to get fair prices -- my other theory is... corvettes were better cared for by the...

    Pricing on a '66 Coupe

    as a man who just spent many months shopping for a 65 vert -- i would say that the 66 coupe should be 40k firm -- if he wants to offer you 38 or 35 -- it's up to you to decide -- there is a large psychological hiccup that happens over 40 -- as a buyer something about 39.99k sounds so much better...

    I have the 365hp motor in my car and to honest I wish I ended up buying the 350hp instead many times. The 300hp and 350hp cars have a bit more torque on the lower rpm range which makes it easier to drive on the street. The power on the 365hp motor doesn't really kick in until around 3500rpm's...
