Vette(s): 1969 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Just bought it from my uncle who owned it since 1971. Fathom green, green interior. 350/300, T400.
Man was it awesome! I saw alot of very cool cars, there were alot of C6's and a Calloway C6. My daughter's favorite was a C5 that was painted with the paint that changes colors. I took some digital pics, I will try to post some later.

Yea I saw that ladys vette with the (camielion?) paint. the closer you looked the more different the color. The 550 hp callaway C-6 was awsome! For only 19,900 dollers and the cost of a brand new c-6 it can be yours! HA! lots of rare cars and cool vettes there. The yenco cars were incredible! Some of those are valued at over 200k!

Sounds like a great event. Were there any C3's or was it just mostly newer cars? Looking forward to seeing the pics.

There was alot of c-3s there but it was a majority of newer vettes. I saw two black 79 vettes and one one of em had a $21,900 price tag on it and was in great shape the other had $8500 on it and needed a new interior and paint job. This made me happy on the value on my vette.

It does appear in the last few years the 76-80 vettes have gone up in value.

When I bought my 79 I gave $8k for it and it was in pretty nice shape. I would hate to give $8k for one now and have to redo it. Boy that is one car I wish I could have back.
