Found my dream car...

Agreed, the '63 with the split window is one of the pinnacles of achievement in automotive design. It's too bad the C2 Corvette had such a short run.

But what's really cool is some bodyshops are doing conversions to make the C7 Corvetes look like the '63s. I saw one at the Woodward Cruise last year. Absolutely fugging gorgeous.

For me, all time best, '63 Corvette has the slightest of edges over the '67 Mustang GT 500.

I think on the '63 it's the rear tire fender bulge that does it... man that is a sexy ass car. I talked to the guy that owned this one and he's the only owner it's ever had. He bought it brand new in '63. It does not have the original engine, it has a newer model LS7 in it and it has been re-done on the interior too. It is in perfect shape.

It's an interesting time for classic car collectors. With the exception of the super high end foreign stuff ($200,000 plus), it became a buyers market with the recession and has stayed that way. Problem is finding people willing to sell them at a price much lower than what they could have gotten in '05-'07. Sort of tug of war where it is best to just sit and wait until the seller caves.

Those old cars really were works of art. Sexy, because they're designed with hips (lines) like the shape of a well-built woman.

'63 Vette

This Z06 wasn't too shabby either...

Or I would take a new ZR1...

Oh yeah, there were a few cuties around too... :D

I used to own 2 Vettes. A 1972 Stingray and 1990. I was trying to buy a 1965, but we couldn't arrive at a price. (We were $2500 apart which doesn't seem like a lot considering it was a Corvette. I didn't feel like coming up to $27,500 and he wouldn't come down to $25,000!)

Here's the pic of my 1972 "Blue Beast". My '90 is under the car cover.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
