Vette(s): Frederick County Corvette Club (Maryland) Tan 64 365 Hp Conv 4 sp Red 72 4 sp Conv ..running a '68 327 Blue 76 Coupe L 48 4 sp White 79 Coupe L 82 auto Silver 98 Conv, 6 sp 35th Anniv '88 vette
While I do not (repeat not) advise anyone to buy any Corvette as an investment I have to pass this short list on...

In the new issue of Vette Magazine Mike Yeager listed his  TOP
investment choice for appreciation over the net ten years....

Have to say I'm pretty happy....and figure a bunch of us C3 owners should be also.

64.....(and I own one)

68 ...Convertible 427

70-72 ... Especially the convertibles ...(I own a 72 vert)

74  ...454 Convertible

78-82 Low milage cars... (I own a 79 but not a real low millage one)

Funny but in addition to my 64 and 72 plus a mid milage 79 I also own a 98 Convertible and a 4 speed 76 coupe...  

Its funny because of all my cars I have stated many times that IF I had to have only one it would be the 76 .. The 76 is just my favorite overall  ...last to be labeled a Stingray and a ball to drive....But it did not make the list....Oh well Its stilll my favorite...

A well plotted and maintained portfolio will/should exhibit a doubling of it's invested monies every 7 years.

That being true, my 7 thousand dollor (investment) in my Corvette should net me 112,000 dollars in 28 years.............yeah right !!!!
 
My Son is an Edward Jones Investment Rep. and he advised me to buy the Vette for fun and games and, if I have any money left over let him help me get a true Investment from it.......which I have...(and he's correct WOW)Wink
 
He is 31 yrs old and on track to retire at 50 and pick up his new Vette at the factory. I hope i'm still around to go with him to get it....I'll be 84 then....hmmmm

[QUOTE=Ron 78]I think my 78 is low mileage,it's got 78k,thats only 2600 a yearLOLLOLLOL[/QUOTE]


Ron you bring up a good point....That got me thinking. (dangerous )

What do you guys call a low millage car ...?

I stated in my original post that my 79 was NOT a low millage car but its 29 years old with 108,000 on the clock = 3,700 miles /year

NOT LOW Millage but at 3,700 miles a year it sure has not spent a lot of time on the road...

Just curious
