Not Ranked
Brian:
There used to be a guy in Ohio that took a lot of people down in the parts/cars area. His name was Terry something or other. Declared bankrupcy and took some people down. He got me for $3.75 on his brochure that I never received. Actually received five notices from the bankruptcy judge. Wonder what that cost the taxpayers?
I would NEVER buy a Corvette from a dealer unless he was a brother or a close friend. If you want a premium car--no stories--go to NCRS and look through their list of members and see what is for sale. The one nice thing about NCRS, if a car is Top Flighted,' it has been picked over with a set of tweezers. When the judges examine these cars it looks like a crime scene investigation. Some people think the boys at NCRS are a little anal over "correctness", but this is a good example where the buyer has to be thankful that they are the quality organization that they are.
Personally, I think that this market is soft. Dana Mecum aka Mecum Auctions, who owns some very rare factory "one off" Corvettes, said that, generally, $50,000 is becoming the threshold for many collectibles right now. The solid axle cars (53-62) don't enjoy the pricing they did a few years ago. Even the mid years (63-67) show some softening.
