hi C3 maniaks,

for daily driver i'm up to a new car end this year/2007. OF COURSE i was thinking of a C6 ,BUT i need a 4 persons car , YEAH grandchild....(ren)SO i tought a Mustang Cobra , witch i believe will be there in cabrio version this year or 2007.....and a collectors item in the future, no ?

any suggestions ?

 

If you want a 4-place car that is distinctive and is likely to increase in value in the future, do like I did. Besides my Corvettes, I own an Avanti. Mine's a 2002 model equipped with a Vette LS1 engine. The back seat is admittedly small, but you can fit two people back there. I have a convertible and is a great cruiser that can scream when I want it to (lots of bolt-on performance enhancers available for it).

Starting in '05, Avanti's have changed to Ford 4.6 power. Kind of upsetting to me as Avanti's have had Chevy small blocks since the mid-60's after Studebaker went bust.

Hi gunslinger,

can you show pic's of Avanti ?  i look at GM...don't know the model

Everybody over here tell's me to buy a BMW ( ok, a 535 diesel or M5 is great ) BUT i buy a american car , that's for sure !

The photo with posts are of my Corvettes and my Avanti.

GM doesn't make the Avanti. It's a small custom car company located in Georgia. They build maybe 50 to 100 cars a year. Until 2005 they used GM power, now they use Ford power.

Their website is <www.avantimotors.com>. They do have a European importer I believe.

Don't go new. How about a 1956 - 57 Chevy Bel Air?? Huge trunk, gobbs of room inside, collector car, increases in value and just an all round good family car. You could beef up the suspension a bit too for grins!

BMW?

I agree with Mick! No need to go new. Find you a nice vintage four seater. 

Ever considered a truck, they come with 4-doors now

Mark,

You better be careful towing your vette with that short wheel base. It might get a little squirrelly.

It looks like your Dakota met a compactor
As for a four seater, any pre 1975 GM musle car would be a great investment.
