Where is the misconception on the midyear vette prices? A matching number 427-435hp 67 might bring over or around a 100 right now, but you can even purchase a restored 1965 with a 396/425hp or a 66 427/425hp or 390hp for around 65-70 right now. If you were ever looking to buy a nice midyear vette, now is the time. If you simply wanted a donor car, there are plenty of non matching nice drivers for around 30,000. A 63-64 would work best for the grand sport since they have the non functional horizontal louvers in the front quarter panels as did the grand sports. 1964 models are the least valuable-you can steal them all day long right now. Cars that have 60 invested are going for 35,000. Anyway, that is not what this thread is about, so i will get off my soap box now.
