Default Re: Musclecar value question/ZL1 Vette

Being a Corvette fan and owning a bunch over the years, I think that most folks can't relate to the Corvette from when they grew up.
The "everyday" cars such as Mustang, Camaros, Cudas, Chevelle, all were in the high school parking lots across the country. We sure didn't have Corvettes in our parking lot at school, but all the other cars were there. You take the cars the guys saw while growing up and then dress them out with the ultimate engine and you have prices going through the roof. My red '66 Shelby got more attention than any Corvette because people thought of it as a Mustang, and everyone could relate to a Mustang. Same with any Chevelle or Camaro I've owned.
