They aren't that rare but my favorite is the 62 which used a front from the old and the rear from the newer. I only owned a 67 but it was a fast back and just not a thrill to drive (no wind in the hair) or at least not more then the challangers or cuda's but I never had one of those with out a top and that's what I'm looking for now. Something like a cobra or sebring replicar. Driving my friends nuts as they think I want to put a big block mopar engine in one and they can't believe that I would just drive it. Funny how age changes desires.

"Funny how age changes desires. "
Art, I know what you mean. I used to be the type to modify almost anything. Yesterday the subject came up of a young guy who was greatly modifying his motorcyle. My thoughts were "dumb kid."

I've always wanted a convertible. Last summer two of my retired friends have bought them. My wife and I went for rides and got all wind blown and sunburnt. Now I don't think I want one anymore.
I never had a sunroof either. I'm now driving my daughters old Grand Am as a beater with a moonroof to and from work. Don't even use it either.
I agree as you get older, some things are definitely not as important as they used to be.

Dave, I haven't worn a cap much since the service not that I wanted to wear one then but a good point. I just don't drive with the need for a full roll cage anymore (I stay under 100 even on the interstates most of the time). Murf, we are working towards a soft top Mercedes with the three point, loader, front and rear pto and the 24 speed gear box!

There are 4x4's and then there is the UNIMOG. Enough said.

I guess it would also depend on what a person is looking for in a Vette. Yes it's true that only a few were made in 53, but the real high dollar ones a like the 67 435 horse 427 models with rare paint combos. These often go way over $100,000.
I am personally saving for a 65/67 model convertible, with side exhaust. I am not looking for a trailer queen but just a good driver.

I ran into a good website for Corvettes. It's been fun to look at all the great offerings and to check pricing. Go to: proteamcorvette.com
