Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible

It's up to over $75K now!

While I'll admit it's got a cool history (can you imagine having pictures of your car being built!), I gotta wonder...

Where do you keep a car like this for 29 years?

How often do you change fluids?

How much are you willing to pay to put personalized plates on a car year after year that you don't drive?

Lastly, if you look at the picture of the speedometer, there is a noticible gap between the speedometer bezel and the rest of the dash. Is this a typical quality issue for Pacers, or does this beg the question as to whether or not those are actual miles....?

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Thats normal for the poor quality in the plastic fit of the dash in these cars, but wow $75k, this is gonna be fun to watch.

Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.

I think this would be a much better buy. 6% less miles.
