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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
