Buying a Corvette,

69CVET:
Perfect Overview  Rosco !!

Scott:
If you are buying a car to drive, get the most looked after and well maintained one you can.  'Originality' is more of a boasting point for the minority that care about it.  Fuel injection, an overdrive gearbox or auto, air conditioning, power  brakes and power steering are more useful than a matching numbers engine and period gearbox if you want to drive it lots.  The more you enjoy driving it, the more you will drive it and enjoy it.  I had a cheap 65 mustang that I took to a few shows, but I got the most enjoyment out of taking it to the beach, or a nice country road with the family for a day trip as it was a reliable, easy to drive thing.

Scott:
Also, with the drop of the aussie $$$, you may be better off buying one of the many many cars that were imported when the exchange rate was $1.10.  There are more cars than buyers so you should be able to get a good deal ;)

rosco:
I agree its a buyers market in regards to the 74-82 C3,s.
But its also very much a buyer beware with some of them, lots of polished turds out there.
My choice on the better yrs would be the 80 to 82 models they are usually loaded with options.
