Vette(s): Purchased a 1986 Convert August 2013, Bright Red color with a black top, it'd already received a Tremec 5 speed upgrade along with a disc upgrade prior to purchase.

I bought my 86 convertible a year ago, not as an investment.  Rather as something I've wanted for almost 60 years.  Obviously my 1st pick would have been a 63 SWC as I had a coworker that had one back in the late 60's, loved riding in that one.  I got mine for a price I could live with and plan to enjoy it as long as I can. 

It's a car, a fun one but still a car.  Enjoy it and don't worry about the value on it, just use it as it was designed - to drive.

Vette(s): 1986 Coupe
Enjoy the ride.  I also did not buy mine as an investment, I bought it as something to enjoy.  I only drive it in the summer to car shows.  But that's what I like to do.  Others drive them more intensely, that's ok too.  You won it, you can do whatever you like.  As far as investments, I bought mine 20 years ago, it's probably worth about what I paid for it then.  But, I will never sell it.  It's part of the family now!

Vette(s): 1994 Black Rose Coup.
I get parts from the Corvette Shop in Tampa (www.corvetteshoptampa.com)for my C4. They have been a lot of help and are really good to work with. As to the value of the C4 going up or down it really doesn't matter to me, I like my car and enjoy driving it. The C4 will be the next American Hot Rod, it is a high preformance car that you can afford to buy and work on. Bottom line is the C4 is just fun to drive!

Big smile  Wow! Is this thread wide, or are my eyes crossed?  It is my desire to own a 93'. I have one in mind, LT-1 auto, triple black, vert,low miles, but at the moment his son thinks I should look for another one. I'm patient, and he is willing to part with it, but not just yet. My "ULTIMATE" desire would have been to go to Minnesotta with "NORSKY" and bring his home, BUT, I think Mike Yeagers son knows that is a coveted unbeatable race car! Cool

I think the time might be coming for the '80's & '90s cars, kids who grew up with them will want them when they're older & can afford them. Even if they don't become 'collector cars', they're a lot of fun!

Vette(s): 1996 collectors edition lt4 convertible 10,000 miles, silver exterior, black interior. purchased 4/20/12
jan.2015 a '96 grand sport sold at Kissimmee mecum auction for $70k. That's something. While most clean c4's go on auction in the Teens, ZR1 go up to the mid thirties. It's the only clam shell hood corvette. It will rise at some point. If you join NCRS and top flight your car it will bring more $'s. I have a 96 CE LT4 with 12,000 miles . This July it is going to the ncrs nationals in Denver for the very coverted David Hill Award only 24 corvettes ever received this. Then it will be retired. 2 Top Flights, 1PV, and the Hill award. This car has been well documented. That's howC4'4 will bring good money to a collector. That being said, it's way more about how it makes you feel when you drive it. They are the best value in a sports car money can buy and won't brake the bank to keep them. For all you people who want to get involved with your car join NCRS and go to a Chapter event in your area. If you want to learn your car join and meet great people, and see some of the best in the world!!!!
