Collectable vehicles are rarely driven. The real question at hand is whether these will appreciate in value over time. Properly maintained these, Corvettes will appreciate in value over the course of time. Had I known in 1979 that the split window would command the price they have today, I would have snatched the one I was looking to buy for $2000. But I didn't realize what was going to happen nearly thirty years later. Will the Z06 become a collector item 2044? I'm certain there will be a few examples out collecting dust right now that will command some ungodly price tag, but their owners have missed out alot smile miles unless they were in the position to buy two (1 to drive and 1 to collect dust). IMO if you are going to modfy one of these cars, properly store every part you remove and store them carefully. The stock parts will make your example more valuable in the future than all the performance parts installed today. JMHO
Even the cars that some may say have "appreciated" in value haven't really appreciated at all if you factor in repairs, maintenance, storage, insurance, alternate investment returns, etc. Just drive 'em and enjoy 'em. :cool
