Re: Musclecar or Corvette?
 

Well look at it this way. The longer you ponder the more one will cost you.

Get out and look you just never know what you will find. I was test driving a '98 vette a few weeks ago and decided I really was to old to enjoy a 6 speed anymore so I passed and noticed he also had a nice looking yellow 66 Buick Skylark sportcoupe. To make a long story short I wound up with it and it was a one owner/famly car.

The original owner of Ike's Chili parlor here in Tulsa (a old family run instution) was who bought it new. He let his daughter drive it for a while and they turned it over to her daughter about a year or so ago and she turned in down in favor of one of the new econobox vans the kids seem to love.

SO I am now the proud second owner. If you try you can find all kinds of old cars around and usually in some of the dammest places.

My vote is a '69 Corvette... or a Nova!

Here's my silver '69...

The third generation Corvettes are great cars and nice ones can be found in your price range. Don't rule out a nice 1973 soft bumper Corvette, either. Also, the 1973 Z28's are the nice bumpers and they have the fairly potent L82 motors.
These are certainly in your price range and you can have an original car that is very similar in looks to the rip roaring 1970 to 1972 LT1 Z28's. How about a nice 1970 to 1973 Trans Am, you can find a fairly nice one for a decent price as long as you don't go into 455 SD territory.
