All the pre 73 vettes would be worth a heap. The post 73 aren't woth as much but are still nice. I wonder how much the 53 would be worth?

What's wrong with R32 GTRs? Twice the car production VLTs were - just a six cylinder family car with a turbo Nissan heart bolted in.. It'd be a shame to see any of them rot. You have no appreciation for what in the future will be regarded as a generation defining Homolgation racecar. Proportioned 4WD, TT... mmmm.... As for the Corvettes, I would imagine after all those years, they'd be very hard (if not impossible) to start - there'd prolly be some serious bore rust going on.

Love that model. If I wasn't a huge mustang fan, I would have one of those any day. Look very tuff. They are big block yeah?

big block was an option.. the one at my joint it.. 281kw @ wheels with only a twin 2.5 inch exhaust, should be running at least twin 3's.. now he's talkin about a single roller bearing turbo and a roller cam..

Very nice. I don't think I'd turbo an old school classic. But the power would be good. That would reek havoc on the fiberglass wouldn't it?
