ProTeam's Advice for Classic Corvette Buyers: |
|
1. | Any 1967 Super Popular Year. High Water Mark! “The Holy Grail” |
2. | 1958 - '62 Very popular with boomers in their late 40's, 50's and 60’s. |
3. | 1968 - '72 Very affordable. Entry Level - but for how long could be anyone's guess. Probably will be best buy for someone wanting to drive a Corvette free for 3 to 4 years. |
4. | 1963 SPLIT WINDOW COUPE One Year only -- Always popular milestone car. Every collector needs at least one! And why not one of every color? |
5. | 1965 - '66 Good cars, disc brakes. Next best thing to a 1967 but more affordable. |
6. | 1953 - '55 For a serious collector. Not much of a ride but a great conversation piece from the first generation era of Corvettes. Every real Corvette collector has one! |
7. | 1956 - '57 Single headlights - 13 tooth grill - top fender scoops - waffle seats and door panels… strong styling!!! |
8. | 1973 - '75 Convertibles Rubber bumpers. Very affordable for someone that must have an older convertible. |
9. | 1978 Silver Anniversary or Pace Cars. Try to buy 4-speeds, L-82's, and/or low miles. |
10. | 1982 Collector Edition - First year of crossfire injection, two-tone paint, hatchback, and last year of the C-3 ('68 to '82 body/frame configuration). It’s always better to buy the last versus the first year of a new model. Also, first year the Corvette MSP hit over $20,000.00. Buy low miles.
