I agree, and I refuse to believe that Chevy designers didn't invite Castriota over for a hot loaf of Italian bread and discuss the Mantide. This is the first Corvette I've been excited about....ever.

Ever consider that these may be, in fact, an investment? It's a lot prettier investment than say ... modern art. The Jeff Koons (of BMW art car fame) piece titled "tulips" just sold last month for a little over $33 Million. Don't know about you but I'd rather hang a GTO on my wall (and I expect the wealthy buyers…

Bill, we're just the lastest generation to see this kind of thing happen. Look up how many full-sized race tracks there used to be in the Los-Angeles in the 1950' and 60's (it's heart breaking). Hear some of the stories of how laid back f1 races were. I believe someday (hopefully a long LONG time from now)…

yes. (and say no to the M42)

The E30 stands where the 2002 did a number of years ago, close to the best bang you'll get for your buck. I've seen the same thing with 2002's, E9's, Etc. There was a day you couldn't pay someone to haul away your 2000cs, 1600, Isetta, etc.

I'd suggest a 1975 and earlier 2002 ('76 needs smogging in California). I drive my 1971 about 60 miles a day on the 57 and 210. The community here is alive and booming (just go to the annual SoCal Vintage BMW Show every October in Woodely Park). They're pretty easy to work on, and their current pricing puts them…
