It was a rental. One on the TTU drivers has an insane supra that was down while it was getting custom uprights machined (see Ron I have way more suspension mods to do). He basically used rentals this entire year. He started off with caymens, but the last three months he used the new SS. He has great car control. his boy was running a lightly modded elise and they just went at it all the time.

That's a 6 speed with 430 hp LS3 and Z51 package.

The 1lt is 48,000

That's exactly what I bought. obviously mine was an LS2. Money was spent on upgraded trim packages since I new what I had planned for it.

IF.........I go Vette. This is 2009 for the $48,000 with Z51.
The 2010 Grand Sport interests me greatly. But, when I get into that kind of money, I'll need to sell the 64.

That's the tough part, selling the 64 I've had since I was 21.

A rental......cool.

2010 Grand Sport Corvette 1lt with just the options I want is a little over $56,000. Now, I would need to sell the 64 Vette and Harley.


But, it is still doable.

Don't mean to be a pain, but there is a glut of "toys" on the market. Some cherry stuff s going for half what it was a year ago. Consider your friend who sold his well maintained, Gucci wheeled C6Z for < $50k. Just not sure what the Vette and Harley would fetch in the real marketplace today.

I have a good friend that will give me TOP dollar for the 64.



I've thought of all this. One step at a time. I'm putting together info to ponder over. If I can find a well maintained and low mileage Vette with the z51 package then .......


Remember I only paid $1,200 for the 64. So if I only get $12,000 which includes spare 327 and original 327 heads plus a bunch of extra parts --including original trans-- two hoods. I'm doing good.


But, right now I'm putting together info.

Keep running numbers until they really start to make sense. Count everything, don't forget full insurance on a car your're paying for and the fact registration in CA basically doubled, so on a "new" car could be more than you think. You can do it all on a piece of paper with a ruler, calculator, pencil and eraser, but Excel makes it SOOOO much easier to change inputs and see what the outputs instantly.

You trying to scare me here?
Yea, that's pretty much the what I"m doing. At my advanced years I'd like to buy a "new" car one more time.


But, I may be thinking about another job that will actually pay me something close to what I'm worth.

It's entirely your business Glenn. It's a character flaw of mine to give unsolicited advice.

New gig? Sounds intriguing.
