My vote is for a C-5. You have the 68 to race and a nice 97+ would make a nice daily driver. :jester

I was thinking in a 97 or 98 C5... I could get one for less than $20k...

Tkae the money, buy the duntov from the insurance co and bring it back to it's former glory, I know I would. This is a rare car, c5's are a dime a dozen

Yeah, I agree but think about all those stories you hear like ÿea, I had this really nice this and that kind of vette and sold it, wish I'd have it back now"

If you decide to go the C5 route I would try to swing at least an 01, as the earlier ones seemed to have a lot more problems. :yesnod:

market ... no time like the present
Yepperzzz :iagree: Like HE said! Put half into a driver, and half into the market. Buy a no-load fund that you don't need to baby sit like a handful of stocks. Just my .02 (which is about all I have in the market now) :lol:

Sounds like a good idea... I can sell my driver (Dodge Intrepid) and - together with the money from the Vette - I could buy a 98 Z-28 Convertible and will still have $10k left for the stock market...

Looks like a nice Camaro. But if you got a peppy daily driver then you'd start dropping money in that instead of the '68. "Well I drive it everyday, so I might as well open up the exhaust..." and "Well I drive it everyday, and might as well make it more fun by upgrading suspension/wheels/etc" Ugh. Ask me how I know about that game. (click on my "daily driver" eclipse link in my sig! D'oh! :lol:

I'm with twin turbo. If you don't want to tackle it, tell me who the insurance co. is and I'll look at it myself.

Re: If my 80' Duntov is a total loss.. (GrandSportC3)
I drive a '98 Trans Am and while it is my baby, and I absolutly love the LS1, it is still an F-body. The F-bod's were built like crap, they all develop squeaks and rattles even with subframe connectors and just basically fall apart. I dont know how well made the vettes are considering I just bought my first one and havent been able to drive it yet but I would DEFFINETLY get a C5 before an F-bod (unless it is a 1st generation camaro).

Olivier - I owned a '99 Camaro from new to totaled and it was the worst investment I ever made. Getting wrecked was the best thing that could have happened to that car, injuries to my wife notwithstanding. :U:chevy:smash:
