[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3225696, member: 7900"] Two 'Vette stories. Had a friend and neighbor in high school that got an early '60's "Vette before going off to drafting school in Denver. Every time that he came home, he was sitting on orange crates. (They were wooden back then.) No one ever stole his car, but he just couldn't keep seats. Years later, at the 25th anniversary of the 'Vette, GM made a special edition model, one for each Chevy dealership in the country. We walked into the dealership in Texhoma, OK that year and saw that silver beauty. We were admiring the car when the dealer told us that he had passed up a $25,000 offer for the car, which had a much cheaper sticker price. I asked him why, and he said that he thought it would probably be sold for around $35,000 by some eager collector. Eager collector never came around, and last I heard, it was purchased by a son, grandson, or some other young family member who managed to wreck it about 3 weeks after getting it. Myself, none of the sporty, fast cars ever really appealed to me. Just give me good reliable transportation for up to 6 people and I was happy. My first car was a 2-door Ford 6 cylinder with a three-speed column shift. Bought it myself with money from the proceeds of selling a calf. [/QUOTE]
