That 63 is worth a fortune today.
Yes I was amazed how much the 66 increased in value while I owned it. My brother and I restored it in the 80's and only had about 10k invested. Those cars continue to increase in value. I've seen some bring over 100k recently.
58 is long gone. I became a daddy and it was not good to haul wife and baby. My favorite was the 66 it was a beast with all that power. Gas mileage was nothing to brag about though.
Interesting Plasticfan, I wouldn't have ever put the two together. I like the look of the Corvettes but that low to the ground entry and exit doesn't do well with back problems. Pick ups are my go to until i can't justify the need for one any longer. Which i think wont be much longer.
Even though this is a fishing site, someday you might want to post a pic or two of your ride in the chit chat section. You know how it is, we love cars, boats, and fishing. Not necessarily in that order
To answer plumbob's question, here are some of my old cars.
1st pic is a 58 model I bought in early 70's for $750
added factory fuel injection to it and made it 245 HP.
2nd Pic is a 66 model. 427 CI/450 HP. Kept this one for 30 years.
3rd pic is a 03 model at Talladega (racetrack) where I got it to 140 mph. Cute little girls are my grandkids who are now 22 and 24 yo.
Last pic is a 2010 I bought new and drove for about 7 years til my old back told me it was too hard to get in and out.
Missing is my 1988 cause I couldn't find a pic. So that's the hobby I had outside of fishing. If I keep getting older I'll have to give up all of them.
Plasticfan refers to my love of Corvettes. I've owned a bunch of them over the years but sold my last one about 5 years ago because I'm getting too old to get in and out of them.
Thanks for putting this list together. You can add me to Army. 1968-1988
Recently resumed bass fishing on lake guntersville al. Appreciate any help i can get
